GG would be in the UK rear, no matter how small they represented a threat

Max hastings covers this in his book. Well worth the read

People in the comments are angry at politicians influencing strategy. War is fundamentally political, issues like public perception are as important as logistics.

If the UK needed a political win, then it needed a political win.

Those criticizing the decision to attack Goose Green ignore the fact that the Falklands Campaign was overwhelmingly a Political War. There was an overwhelming need to maintain support in the UK, USA and UN.

I see some angry Argies and Russian troll farm bots in this comments section.


The smell of your opponents coping with their losses is truly a different experience in its own right..and I love it! 😂😂😂

Made no sense to attack Goose Green. The Argies there could have been blocked by one of the 2nd tier infantry battallions from 5 Brigade. Perhaps the Welsh guards, who were/ are not 1st tier, per the Royal Marines Parachute Regiment. Indeed the Welsh Guards were just not up to the yomping undertaken by the green/ red berets.

Another case of idiot politicians deciding military tactics.

I’m trying to decipher how this action by the UK then is different than the actions of Russia now, yet the UK faced no condemnation.
