And every military in the world uses American made weaponry one form or another.and u.s. marines use british jump jets , u.s. tanks use british armor , u.s. tank use german cannons , u.s. forces use belgian machine guns , u.s. forces use italian pistols , u.s. forces use german submachinesguns......
what's your point?
america did not supply much aid to britain in the falklands.
like i said america had to try to maintain the "appearance" of neutrality because of it's close ties to south american nations.
Margaret Thatcher said it herself: without the weaponry "supplied to us by US Defence Minister Caspar Weinberger, we could never have got back the Falklands."Comment

This conversation is sad. There's a reason why other countries panic when America chooses its president because they know that's the guy who would be responsible for the rest of the world.
I'm not even born in America. This is a common fact.Comment

i am not from the uk, i am canadian and they are involved as well, and were all not gonna win. just making the point that america isn't amazing, and has lost wars to 3rd world countries. i actually like the us, but so many american are ignorant and think they are so amazing yet know very little history besides what the us has done.Comment

and americans use some forms of european weaponry as well.
let me ask you this. weren't the british using the same american weapons BEFORE the falklands?
the british army used belgian FN FAL , MAG 58 and Hi-Power small arms.
does that mean belgium aided the british in the falklands?
falklands was a challenge to british power. the british had to respond on it's own or lose face.
that's what they did. did america aid somewhat? yes a little.
don't make it seem like the u.k. couldn't have done it without the u.s.
the u.s. didn't deploy a single soldier , ship or plane in the falklands. they wouldn't even let the u.k. use american bases or let them use american tankers aircraft.Comment
