An Argentine man who visited the Falklands to pay homage to the fallen has been charged the 30+45% taxes on his card which are normally only charged in 'foreign countries', ergo the tax office (AFIP) considers the Falklands/Malvinas as foreign ground

Es argentino, visitó las Islas Malvinas y le cobraron los impuestos de viajes al exterior: “Es una locura” | TN

Here's a story of bravery and morality in the closing hours of the war.

He took out his knife to attack an English soldier, and instead of shooting, the English soldier hugged him and said: "The war is over"🇦🇷

As for Baruzzo, for his heroic deed he was awarded the medal "For Valour in Combat".

⭐️De all the Army NCOs who were in the Malvinas, only two received the highest distinction to which an Argentine man-at-arms can aspire: the Cross for Heroic Valour in Combat.

One was Private Paltromieri. The other remains a perfect stranger, even to many Malvinas scholars. Corporal Roberto Bacilio Baruzzo.

For his heroism in the battle of Mount Longdon, fighting wounded by shrapnel from bombing raids in the previous days. In that battle Corporal Baruzzo transported wounded men under fire to safety, exposing himself and risking his life on several occasions, and continuing to fight during such manoeuvres against enemy infantry in hand-to-hand combat until he exhausted his ammunition, and even attempting to fight with his knife, until he was taken prisoner by a platoon of Royal Marines.

Sacó su cuchillo para atacar a un soldado inglés, y este en vez de disparar, lo abrazó y le dijo: "The war is over"

LA HEROCIA HAZAÑA DE BARUZZO

El Cabo Baruzzo tenía 22 años y pertenecía
al Regimiento de Infanteria Mecanizado 12
durante la guerra.
Su sección, al mando del Tte 1ero Gorriti,
había sido ubicada en Monte Kent para
prestar custodia a un grupo de
helicópteros de la Aviacion m de Ejército
apostados allíi, en los días previos al
combate de Monte Longdon, la Royal Navy
ataca la posición siendo Baruzzo herido
por una esquirlas en la mano, aún así, logra
llevar a un soldado con la pierna
destrozada hasta la enfermería, lo peor
todavía no se avecinaba.
La noche del 10 de junio los ingleses
lanzan su ofensiva, la sección de Baruzzo
ofrece férrea resistencia pero se ven
obligados a replegarse a Monte Harriet,
quedando aislados soldados del Rimec 4 y
12.
El Tte 1ero Echeverria, de inteligencia, los
agrupa y lidera la resistencia ofreciendo un
espectacular combate atrayendo el grueso
del fuego Inglés. Baruzzo despoja de un
visor nocturno a un soldado lInglés caído y
afina la puntería sobre ellos.
Echeverria es herido en la pierna y cae,
cuando Baruzzo va a rescatarlo, un ingles
aparece y le dispara al Cabo, errando el
disparo dándole tiempo a Echeverria de
dispararley abatirlo, luego de esto Baruzzo
abate a un Inglés que le disparaba a
Echeverria.
El oficial está gravemente heridoy
desangrándose, Baruzzo le hace un
torniquete con un cordón, insistiendole en
que lo abandone, el cabo lo ignora y
procede a llevarlo a retaguardia, rebotando
balas enemigas a su alrededor. De la nada
surge un soldado Inglés que les dispara
hiriendo al oficial en el hombroy el brazo,
Baruzzo lo abate de un certero dispar, el
cabo le convida un poco de Whisky al
oficial para calmar sus dolencias.
Empeorando la situación del herido, el
Subof se niega a abandonar a su superior e
insiste en llevarlo a retaguardia, de repente
son rodeados por soldados del Batallon 42
de RM, sin rendirse Baruzzo saca su
cuchillo como ultima medida de combate
pero un ingles lo desarma con un leve
golpe de su fusil diciéndole "The war is
over" (la guerra acabo) y luego abraza al
argentino.
El oficial fue transportado al buque
hospital Uganda y se recuperó de sus
heridas, en cuanto a Baruzzo,por su heroica hazaña es condecorado conla medalla "Al Valor en Combate". Sin entender porque le perdonaron la vida luego de causar varias bajas en los soldados ingleses, estos le explicaron que se guiaron por el código de ética y moral militar, perdonandole la vida al luchar hasta el final para salvar a uno de sus
camaradas.

De todos los suboficiales de Ejército que estuvieron en Malvinas, solo dos recibieron la máxima distinción a que puede aspirar un hombre de armas argentino: la Cruz al Heroico Valor en Combate.
Uno fue el soldado paltromieri. El otro, sigue siendo un perfecto desconocido, aún para muchos estudiosos del tema Malvinas. El Cabo Roberto Bacilio Baruzzo.
Por su heroísmo en la batalla del Monte Longdon, combatiendo herido por esquirlas de bombardeos en los días anteriores. En dicha batalla el Cabo Baruzzo transportó bajo fuego a lugares seguros a heridos, exponiéndose a sí mismo y arriesgando su vida en varias ocasiones, y continuando la pelea durante dichas maniobras contra infantería enemiga en combate cuerpo a cuerpo hasta agotar munición, e incluso intentando combatir con su cuchillo, hasta caer prisionero ante un pelotón de Royal Marines.

POR SIEMPRE SERAN HEROES

Quote from Rice

Splinter , I’m having trouble following this account. Is it from Wikipedia? There’s a serious problem with multiple repeated phrases, making it difficult to make sense of the story.

I’d really like to read it. As a full-on edit would probably take too much time, could you please just summarize? Thanks very much!

I used a translator for the English version. Too long to summarise

On Tuesday, when Argentina honours the fallen of the 1982 conflict, one has to consider the numerous occupations of the islands over the centuries since humans first landed there in 1764.

One cannot help but look at both sides of the coin and to have a certain sympathy for the Argentine claim, even though the 'English Pirates' claim unbroken possession since 1833.
