Yes but unusually for a war hardly any civlivians were hurt (3 were killed).

yes but over 250 british troops died and over 650 argentine troops, died all for 130 people who weren't being harmed, the argentines just believed the islands were theirs, they were just going to send the british there, back to england.
it was a complete waste of life. the 3 civilians who died, only died when the battles commenced.
it was a complete shambles in thatchers case, she only had to use a bit more diplomacy.
