The thing that really surprised me was what the guy said about the british artillery just blowing the crap out of their lines from fixed and naval sources. He says that they literally got in holes and prayed for their lives cause there's not much you can do when everything around you is exploding. Then the rumors started about the Gurkhas chopping off heads and playing soccer with them.
He says the officers looked for the first person that they could surrender to after the main ground fighting took hold.
I got to the Embassy in 1986, working in the Military Attache Office. The Chief Attache was an Air Force colonel and there were a couple of other Assistant Air Attaches (A/AIRA). These guys replaced the Air Force staff who had been liaising with their Argie counterparts during the war, and any good work was undone by our “tilting” toward our British allies. He told me that Argie military officers who had received training in the US lined up in front of the Embassy and threw their training certificates over the fence. By 1989, relations had stabilized to the point where US soldiers were integrated with their Army for a year’s rotation, and vice versa.
