This was refused By Argentina citing, a Mythical Misconception.
That they (the War Dead) were already on their Home Land.
Over the Years I Have spoken to numerous Next of Kin.
Always asking the same questions.
Has the Argentine Government ever offered to move your Next of KIn,
Closer to Home?The answer ,No.
Would you prefer your Next of Kin Closer to home?
Quite naturally they answered with a resounding Yes.
You have to ponder the question.
