In today’s show, we’re going into more detail about why Argentina failed to defend the Falklands Islands in 1982, and how poor leadership and
command ultimately hindered their military effort.

Although capturing the Islands was relatively easy, defending them was a whole other matter. Something that Argentina's military leadership was not equipped or prepared for.
