Man of few words!!!!

[Paul Rees. ex Rucksack. @HannahIamthest1]

I wasn’t there, however this guy was:

"I’d like to put the record straight, because I was there.

People often forget how the Argentine troops were treated after the Falklands War. We treated their wounded, and many would not have survived without the medical care they received. They were fed, and their officers were even allowed to keep their sidearms for their own safety.

After facing each other in battle, that wasn’t easy, but it was the right thing to do.

They were fed, cared for, and many were transported home on Canberra. We also cleaned up the mess that had been left behind. There was no complaining—we just got on with the job.

Many of the Argentine troops were exhausted and relieved to be going home after experiencing the reality of war. They were defeated and demoralised, and many couldn’t even look you in the eye.

Many of those young soldiers were more afraid of their own officers and the military junta than they were of us. They had been sent into an impossible situation by leaders who would never share their hardships.

The Falklands’ climate and terrain are brutal, and the weather is unforgiving. I saw young men who were hungry, frightened, dirty, wet and cold, longing to be back with their families in Argentina. Many I spoke to, while sharing hot drinks and sweets, told me they never wanted to be there in the first place.

So before anyone starts abusing me, my family or my brothers-in-arms, remember this: we were there. We experienced the full cycle of war, and we also witnessed the immense relief of the Falkland Islanders when the invaders finally left.

To those in Argentina who still believe the stories told by defeated generals, I’d simply say this: many of us were there, and we know what happened. Don’t confuse propaganda with the reality witnessed by those who fought and those who surrendered.

The war is over. Britain won. History cannot be changed. It’s time to stop reliving old arguments and instead focus on building a better future for the people of Argentina rather than making repeated claims over the Falkland Islands.

As my grandmother used to say, “Children should be seen and not heard.” Sometimes it’s wiser to listen to those who were actually there.

War tests not only courage in battle, but also humanity in victory. I am proud that we showed both.

Feel free to share and comment “war is not a political football “ maybe you should try it sometime it’s not advisable

Lives broken families destroyed

Respect to those lost to war and those who are still fighting a war long ago."

[Flushing It @flushingitgolf]

European fans were chanting “Scottie gets battered, everywhere he goes” at Scottie Scheffler on the range last night, reminding him of his 0-4 record this week.

Will he finally get a point today or will Rory beat him again and complete an incredible week for Team Europe?

[BBC Sport @BBCSport]

🗣️ "Can we play you every week?!"

European fans loving it, US fans not so much... 😆

Bob Hoskins was one of the greatest. In the final scene of The Long Good Friday (1980), he silently replays the film's events in his head, ticking off signs of his ultimate downfall one by one. It's an acting masterclass. We'll never see another like Bob.

[🎸 Rock History 🎸 @historyrock_]

A rock band called RPJ is performing and the singer sees a kid with a banner asking to play guitar with them. The singer asks him:

- Do you really know how to play guitar?
- Yeah!
- What's your favorite band?
- Guns N' Roses

What happens next is incredible.

Cary Grant.
Grant throwing in this line is particularly notable because Archie Leach just happens to be Grant's real name.
