Doesn't say what they are going there to do. Exercise, piss-up or what. Mind you, I have heard it said that the troops there currently are very UNfit! Falklands Fit they call it. So perhaps the paras should gee them all up a bit when they get there and knock them into shape!

We should have a whip round and send the vulcan down there for a display.
Any potential Argentinian invaders would be wise to invest in some osrt of ear protection incase they become dead.
I assume the lads are on a Spanish speaking course just incase?
"El Spick da Hato Bastardo"We should remember the tremendous contribution of the Queen Mother to the war effort:
As the BBC pointed out, she 'bravely remained in London beside her husband' during the war.
This contrasts sharply with the actions of my grandfather who, on the declaration of war immediately left his wife and children and pissed off, first to France, then North Africa, Italy, France (again) and finally Germany.
The shame will always be with us.
