Default Re: Historical Quality

Hola Carlos! Otro Argentino aqui!

I would like to add that the view of the Argentinean forces being poorly led applies only at the grand-tactical/operational/strategical levels. At the tactical level, many Argentinean officers were capable and professional. They deployed themselves among their troops too. If there is any doubt about this, take a look at the list of fallen during the war: many are middle and low rank officers. The view of a distant commander safely accommodated in Port Stanley probably applies to highly ranked officers like Parada, Jofre and Menendez himself.
