Once the ship/boat is sunk the sea is common enemy. I feel this is a new low even for Arrse, we can celebrate victory but surely should not revel in the deaths of another soldier sailor or airman?

Theirs is not to reason why...

So civvies, ragheads, talibs, coppers, maddies, twin tower victims are all fair game? Is your skin thin? Maybe you need to read a little more naafi bar...

let me guess... did you lose a relative? That was careless, hope you found him. Maybe washed up on a shore? If it can happen to a bike...

Perhaps if the Argies had send a white Sh*d instead of the Belgrano more of them would have survived?

Had to grin yesterday morning though. On the Today programme, James Naughtie ( a snivelling git who I usually can't stand) was interviewing one of the senoir chaps on the sub about events as they took place and he managed to slip in something about there being alot of ' Argie bargie'.

And what have some dead Argentine sailors done for us?

Loving the shed comment by the way. That's the cutting edge of wit there.

Poor form on the Navy - should have sunk the escorts as well.

As far as I'm aware neither have overtly celebrated such action

In the interest of this being the NAAFI you can't try and torpedo my argument because I'm heading away from the conflict zone and I'm outside the exclusion limit.

......A bit ill informed there matey, you imply that because the Belgrano was heading away from the TEZ and and outside it, that it wasn't a valid target, truth is, under the articles of war and the declared intention by the UK government, which the Argies were well aware of, the TEZ only applied to neutral vessels and ANY Argentine vessel, anywhere, that could have been considered a threat was fair game.

I sympathise with the loss of life, but they did start it.

And this is the NAAFI so tough shit greasy dago cunts.
