Well I'm glad I got you to read something. Look into it further, they barely managed to pull off the basic logistics of the campaign. They had to commandeer a bunch of british civilian ships and they nigrigged them into combat craft. Picture helicopters landing on a fucking cruise ships lol. There are some good documentaries on youtube about the entire ordeal. And no, I'm not wrong, the british, after unleashing their entire military capabilities, were able to maintain an island they own, against a third world country that barely even had a navy. They were never in a position to threaten Argentina proper.

Eh, it's true they failed to enforce their rule over the country, but from a military perspective they did essentially conquer it. The enemy basically just stubbornly waited for them to get tired and fuck off. And the retarded american plan to "stabilize" the country or whatever the fuck they were attempting was always destined to fail. What they should have done was split the country into like 10 different client states and install a regional muslim warlord as a duke of each area and support him with military equipment, and then pit them against each other, not to the point of outright war between them, but with tension that required perpetual loyalty to the american empire, lest they be usurped by neighbouring rivals. Instead they tried to teach them democracy (LMAO). I could have spared them the decade long effort and just told them how that was going to end. Fucking idiots. Anyways, point being, that was more a failure of political ideology than actual military strength.
