I feel like that’s justified though.
Both sides were out in the middle of fuck all squabbling over a rock with a handful of people on it, very few civilian casualties, low stakes for both countries (well ok, maybe not for the specific governments, but neither side had to worry about being invaded anywhere that really mattered to them).
Compared to something like the Ukraine war, it’s more of a skirmish.
EDIT: to be clear, I do not want the Falkland’s to be “my war”, it was a stupid war.
War? Haven’t seen one in years … Oh that? Special military operation… This one? That’s a “conflict” but I can see your mistake.
Genocide? Sorry not familiar with that word
Yeah. The Falklands War was referred to as a conflict in the UK.

<sigh> I miss þe good old “police action.” Especially when it was overseas, unlike now.
