I see what the tenacious pilots of Argentina were able to do to the Brits in the Falklands and it should make us think before oohing and ahhing.

I understand your perspective but let's try to remember that those tenacious pilots of Argentina lost the war and Britain was victorious.

Yes, but just barely. And if the Argentine's exocets had worked properly, the Brits would have been defeated.
