Please accept my apology.

I should have said :'Poor planning and tactics, lack of competent command, lack of assets (Air to air refueling and AA to missiles), lack of avionics and not least, lack of experience by the pilots

It should also be considered the Argentine pilots lacked ELINT and were woefully unprepared for a "long distance" war where the Mirage and Daggers could employ their speed over the Harriers

This post was about the loss of a good Marine pilot, I again apologize for taking it to a issue of complaining about the "Junk" Harrier

They were very brave.Hitting 75% of British shipping.But some of the bombs did not detonate.We will never forgive what the Chileans did to the Argentine's.Fellow Latin's should not be traitors.
