    BUENOS AIRES, April 2 (Xinhua) -- Argentine President Cristina Fernandez said on Wednesday her country "cannot abandon" its sovereignty claim on the Malvinas Islands (called the Falkland Islands in Britain).

    Argentina must "advance with the islands' heroic deed that cannot be renounced nor denied," Fernandez said at a Veterans Day and Victims of the South Atlantic war ceremony held at El Palomar city in Buenos Aires province.

    On April 2 1982, Argentina launched a military campaign to recover the Malvinas Islands. Argentina's forces were defeated on June 14 1982 by the British forces.

    The ceremony was carried out at the weapons plaza of the First Aerial Brigade before many war veterans and attended by the Armed Forces' Joint Chief of Staff, Brigadier Jorge Chevallier.

    Fernandez also criticized the past policies of Carlos Saul Menem's government in the 1990s with respect to the United Kingdom.

    The ceremony was also attended by cabinet ministers and high-ranking commanders from the Armed Forces and Security.

    "We will continue working so our voice is heard denouncing the shame that a colonial enclave continues to exist in the 21st century," Fernandez said.

    Argentine Vice President Julio Cobos headed another ceremony in front of the "Monument to the Fallen in the Falklands" in Argentina's capital, Buenos Aires.

Guess getting their asses kicked once wasn't good enough?

Falklands was invaded by the military junta under Leopoldo Galtieri who died in 2003. Soviet Union supported it.

The British are not likely to go to war in the Falklands any time soon...

Their aviators, especially the Skyhawk pilots, fought with incredible valor, the rest of their forces turned in a dismal performance.  It really would be a bad idea to try that shit again.

You would think that that they would have gotten the idea the first go around that an attempt  to take the Falklands is just a bad idea.
