THE Malvinas war meant the loss of more than 600 Argentine lives.1 The battle was tough and intense. Although a short conflict, Argentine death RATE toll (in 1000 troopers/year) trebled American deaths during the Second World War and was almost ten times larger than in Vietnam, showing both the concentration of British fire and the ferocious character of the combats.1 The battle was tough and intense.
