Will the UK lose the Falklands?

This thread prompted me to recall the television coverage of the aftermath of one of the successful Argentine attacks upon a Royal Navy vessel -- probably the HMS Sheffield, but I am not certain -- at the time. As best I can remember it generated a strong mix of confusion, curiosity, and concern for me at the time. I guess that is to be expected given that I was a six-year-old who had witnessed precious little non-fictional violence and none that I can recall (non-fictional or otherwise) on TV. Was the coverage of the aftermath of the attack upon the Sheffield (or of any other British ships) notable in Britain or Argentina?

A mix I suggest... what do you think?

Hundimiento del Sheffield || Sinking of the Sheffield

Some of the stuff in the comments section is great. One of them amounts to “How can you seriously think the Malvinas are Argentine if the only people living on those rough ass islands are Englishmen willing to herd sheep for a living?”

Who cares about a few shepherds when there is oil under them thar waters.
