[BITList] Falklands war 30 years on and how it turned Thatcher intoa world celebrity | UK news | The Guardian

[HUGH]

The Falklands war .... something I read about it recently has left a very 
bad taste in my mouth. It was part of an interview with a soldier who served 
in that campaign. At one point, he said, they were ordered to take no 
prisoners, so they took none, whatever that means - shades of the SS.  A 
young Argentinian surrendered and begged hysterically for his life.  They 
had a discussion about who should shoot him, shot him, covered him with a 
tarpaulin and bayoneted him through it.  Heroes?

Hugh.
