On the Argentine side, the 7th Infantry Regiment Reconnaissance Platoon (under Second Lieutenant Francisco Ramón Galíndez Matienzo) on the surrounding Wireless Ridge position was not able to conduct their own patrolling, as they had been designated the Argentine reserve on Wireless Ridge. Therefore, Argentine Commando units, normally used for deep reconnaissance, were used to take on this role, and they were able to do so with some success. This is less than the truth. Campaigners may believe that McLaughlin was the victim of carelessness and trivial technicality. But others in a better position to understand — rank-and-file paratroopers – believe that the citation was abandoned because McLaughlin had committed what many would consider war-crimes but which his comrades believe to have been no more than what was expected of him. Hence both their anger and politicians’ uneasiness.Crónica de las Grandes Batallas del Ejército Argentino: Historia de Caballeros Valientes y Desdichados, Alberto Jorge Maffey, p. 348, Círculo Militar, 2000 What’s significant for forming a view of paratroopers’ actions generally is that front-line members of the regiment clearly accept that McLaughlin mutilated the corpses of the enemy but don’t accept that there was anything particularly reprehensible about this. The expressed distaste of their political masters is seen as sleekit evasion of what they must know to be true.

Baldini was later heavily criticized by veterans for being indifferent and selfish toward his men, although this seems to have come from several petulant soldiers who failed to appreciate his efforts to keep them alive in difficult conditions.

Major Carrizo-Salvadores manoeuvred Castañeda's reinforced platoon to close with 4 and 5 Platoons; meanwhile, under the direction of Corporal Jorge Daniel Arribas, part of Castañeda's platoon converged on the British aid post. Colour Sergeant Brian Faulkner, seeing that more than 20 wounded Paras on the western slopes of the mountain were about to fall into the hands of Corporal Arribas, deployed anyone fit enough to defend the position.

In his book, Bramley detailed two incidents on Mt. Longdon in which unnamed comrades allegedly shot four prisoners after they surrendered. He also claimed that some British soldiers defiled enemy corpses, cutting off ears for trophies. His claims were borne out by his senior officer, Capt. Anthony Mason, now a civilian, who says he reported the killings to his superiors without result.

I left Adrian's response because it answers the question succintly and hopefully no further posts need to appear on that particular issue. Brigadier Julian Thompson would later defend his decision to send SAS patrols to reconoitre Mount Kent ahead of 42 Commando, "It was fortunate that I had ignored the views expressed by Northwood [British Military Headquarters in England] that reconnaissance of Mount Kent before insertion of 42 Commando was superfluous. Had D Squadron not been there, the Argentine Special Forces would have caught the Commando before de-planing and, in the darkness and confusion on a strange landing zone, inflicted heavy casualties on men and helicopters."

The Mount Kent Skirmish was a conflict during the Falklands War between British and Argentine forces. In reality, the only gross violation of international law during the conflict was the invasion itself. Whatever the merits of the Argentine case for sovereignty over the Falklands - and the legal arguments are extremely weak, notwithstanding the emotions of the Argentine people - there was no justification in international law for the Argentine government to resort to force, and it was that invasion which directly led to the deaths of a thousand or so young British and Argentinian men.

For over two years we've been waiting for a final say on behalf of the courts ... There are some types of crimes that no state should allow to go unpunished, no matter how much time has passed, such as the crimes of the dictatorship. Last year Germany sentenced a 98-year-old corporal for his role in the concentration camps in one of the Eastern European countries occupied by Nazi Germany. It didn't take into account his age or rank. [31] Malvinas Banda de Hermanos Regimiento Infantería 7 (Programa 37 - Sábado 6/08/2016) [ permanent dead link]
