Why is the raf still in the falklands islands?



    




Blitzhund
The RAF is still in the Falklands because the Falklands is still a British Territory and thus protected as such.

Why should that change?

Having visited the Falkands earlier this year the locals are very worried.

Argentina is being very aggressive about wanting the islands back! We saw lots of signs in Ushuia on the mainland when we were there.

The problem is that if they bomb the RAF and commercial airport runways so planes can't take off they can invade easily as we don't have a lot of troops there.

As the UK could not assemble a rescue fleet now (unlike 1982) due to Government cutbacks we could not go and get the islands back!

To protect British interests and as a tactical base covering the south Atlantic.

The same reason that we have troops still stationed in Germany.Security.

To defend the islands against an act of a possible act of aggression by the Argentines!


Angelo D
Because it reminds the British of the good ole hegemonistic days of colonialism.

Same answer for Gibralter.
