So these are just MY opinions (yes, you aren’t obligated to respond with malice):-not today is their most mediocre title track, not dna-so what was a great song! edm done the right way!!! everyone just hates it bc hating edm is cool or something lmao-if I ruled the world is unbearable to listen to-seokjin isn’t a weak vocalist at all. If anyone pays attention, his stability is second to jungkook’s! He always sounds like the studio version, his range is insane, and he’s fits every genre just fine-idk if this is unpopular but namjoon is all around the best rapper in the group-love yourself her was not as bad as ppl made it out to be, it was well produced, refreshing and I personally couldn’t believe it was bts (idk they sounded different and in a VERY good way)-love yourself answer was… will I be attacked? I’ll say it anyway, it was trash, the trivias are the only thing I’m here for and epiphany-the same people who hate dna bc it’s edm are wings supremacist and fail to realize that bs&t is—shocker—edm!!-dark&wild is the most musically interesting and well produced album bts has to offer! Joon believed that bts would become big with it and for good reason, bts really poured their soul into it! rnb and old style hip hop has my heart soaring!! Only bts can execute this in their bts way lol-home deserved a stage and choreography, not dionysus-Supreme boi needs to gtfo, I hate that bts still mess with himsome context: Kpop Producer Supreme Boi is problematic - Random-bighit needs to tailor their music to fit taehyungs as well, it’s terrible that his unique voice has to be put off for keeping up with the tenors-bts never became westernized bc they were westernized from the start. School of tears? A Kendrick cover. Hip hop lover? A tribute to AMERICAN (and a few korean) artists. Born singer? A j.cole cover. Yoongis flow? Influenced by the likes of Eminem. Kpop itself is westernized. People who actually say this crap don’t know anything abt music and only care that they’re listening to something that’s “underrated” to feel special-what y’all did to namjoon and wale when change came out was unforgivable-y’all are also wrong for telling jungkook what to do, especially knowing how sensitive and pliant he is. He wanted tattoos and extra piercings and he didn’t do it bc army didn’t want it. How wrong does that sound? A grown man wanting to do things to make himself happy but his own fandom puts him down. Jungkook shouldn’t have to be this nice at all (am I just shitting on the fandom at this point? Haha nope, criticism doesn’t hurt anyone)-war of hormone may have shitty lyrics but it GOES OFF!-it pains me that Hoseok feels the need to validate himself as a rapper with a mixtape, and even now he still feels like he should prove himself further, as if Hope world wasn’t enough-bts wanting to disband recently is a big red flag. And I KNOW they’re sticking around for us. It kills me bc it would be super hard to let them go, but above everything I want them to be happy. I truly hope their renewing 7 years of contract is their choice and not some sort of trap (especially with them being signed to Columbia records, super fishy)-Jimin hating mangoes is the hugest betrayal ever. Jimin, dude, why??Al fin :D

Yes they did, is the quick answer, and I note several rather clumsy attempts (Cristian & Martin) to revert to the sad old “They thought they hit it, but missed” tale… I'm afraid that one is threadbare by now, and replaced by actual facts. I should add that both are also attempting to deliberately misguide with pictures and links, and so please excuse a lengthy and demonstrative answer on my part.The Argentine “version” is based upon LVTP-7 Amtrack #07 which was hit with 97 rounds along the hull and had a smashed gunner's scope. With this, the Argentine forces (and I borrow from Shakespeare, “He doth protest too much”) claimed that the Royal Marines “thought” or “were encouraged to think” they'd hit the vehicle with 66mm rockets and an 84mm Carl Gustav AT round, but had simply missed… this version, despite what the Royal Marines said for 35 years, was accepted as the truth, because Argentina produced the photographic evidence.Now this would solve the matter, right?Nope… it's designed to make you pass by. It's a perception filter. You accept the obvious explanation… let's look a little deeper.Now, Amtrack #07 was the right hand vehicle in a group of three, with #05 in the middle and #19 on the left. These vehicles swung to their LEFT across the front of the Royal Marines position and hence #07 was now closest to them by far, hence it attracted the fire.“It was so close, it was impossible to miss” said Lance Corporal Reynolds, “We threw everything at it, literally everything, if we'd have had any rockets left, it would have been toast… but we used them all up on taking out the first vehicle…”WAIT!“The first vehicle”?Yes, the first Amtrack, which came down the road, unsupported and alone, as per Lt Bill Trollope's report, Corporal Chris Bryan's report and Lance Corporal Reynolds' own report… Mark Gibbs, George Brown, Danny Betts, all said the same thing, and they hadn't spoken for 35 years. I began to wonder, how could anyone have missed the glaringly obvious?There's more…So the first vehicle came on unsupported and alone, and what happened? It turned to its RIGHT not left, because the rockets and AT rounds were coming from that direction, and it was turning away from them. It tried to cross the road where there was a bank and a ditch and became “bogged” (in fact there were three other “bogging” incidents that day) and started to grind its tracks back and fore, desperate to get grip. Already two 66mm rockets (Gibbs and Reynolds) and two 84mm (Brown and Betts) had missed, landing to the left of the vehicle as it came on, hence it swung right.Reynolds - farthest out on the right - hit it in the rear left quadrant with a 66mm. The left / port side was down, the right / starboard side was up.Where Reynolds had hit it was in the rear left light cluster, with the 66mm rocket, as others poured 7.62 GPMG fire into it. Now, Argentina denied this until THIS turned up:A rear left light cluster from an LVTP-7 Amtrack, with a big hole smashed through it, found discarded and chopped off with a cutting torch, at White City (exactly where the action happened) by an army mine clearance team in 1984… the owner had it checked and confirmed by the experts at Bovington too.The legend attached attributes it to Gibbs, but from that angle, and Reynolds' being last in the line, farthest out on the right, beside Sean Egan, it has to be him…. Let's see it some more:Amazing “Photobucket” has stolen the owner's pictures by the way….Here you see a clear entrance and exit hole, and yes it's confirmed that's a shaped charge HEAT round damage too. And again…This one is good, because it even has some 7.62mm splashes in it, and there are a few more not shown here…. So how does an Amtrack rear light cluster turn up with a 66mm HEAT round and 7.62mm splashes in it, in the Falklands, when apparently, none was hit?Keep coming back to this, because this is how evidence is handled by a historian. It could be “explained away” by a sceptic, but still… what's it doing there? I've heard a few silly excuses here, like the angle and “they must have been on top of it to get that angle” but first, if the only Amtracks ever used in the Falklands were these, and only on one day (which is absolutely factual) then what the hell was this doing in the Falklands? Was it from Amtrack #07?No… this is Amtrack #07 seen in Stanley after the action at White City, with both still intact. So it wasn't this one as Argentina always said.The angle, as you have heard, was with the left side down and right side up, hence the smashed cluster has the entrance and exit holes in the right place. The exact angle and exactly how the 66mm hit it, if it plunged in flight or the fins caught something, we don't know. The 7.62 marks are on the right hand side, which again, from the angle, would work with their being close ricochets from the bodywork as they turned their fire on the rear door and ramp (which they all stated they did, in fact, one who saw it said the rear door/ ramp seemed to have partially burst).Now if you excuse the phone screenshot and enlargement, here's the back end of Amtrack #17 with heavy “pitting” damage right around the rear left light cluster. Some commenters have tried to suggest that there were additional modules attached to the left cluster (see Amtrack #07 picture above) but these were not attached to the cluster, they were attached to the housing.They were bolted to housing and to the bodywork right next to it. It seems they were blown off and ripped chunks out of the bodywork. The housing could also explain the angle, how the rocket hit the round housing and slightly directed the blast downwards a touch more. The blast from the other side would have destroyed that housing completely and hence left the cluster module open to ricochet fire, as seen.Notice the mounting bolts here, now align the cluster module. The bolts are the same. The housing is welded on over it, you can see here where they've rubbed the vehicle down around the original welds. So some people have confused the cluster module for merely the housing, that's why their idea falls flat.NOW…. this is how history works. Let's go with the theory that this light cluster isn't from this vehicle, as others are trying to push… this leaves unanswered questions which just don't go away:If only Amtrack #07 was hit, and Amtrack #17 didn't go, how do we get #07 with no rear damage and #17 with rear damage?If this light cluster is from neither, yet we know it was found in the Falklands at White City, and that Amtracks were only used on this one day, then what is it doing there? It can only be from an Argentine Amtrack.If it was a complete fake, then how feasible is it for a bunch of guys to get hold of one, take it to the Falklands and blow a 66mm and several 7.62's at it? Basically impossible… this can be discarded.Okay, a few angles have to remain a little out of place without knowing what might have plunged or bounced or ricocheted, or without knowing the exact angle to the millimetre… I can't say, these naysayers can't say, but the fact that we have one damaged light cluster and one damaged Amtrack, damage corresponding, and also corresponding to exactly where several men saw it hit, and with the same weapons they were using, and we can pin the exact date and place it happened… if anyone guffaws “Hurdy hur, the angles don't work for me!” then they're looking ridiculous. It's absolutely close enough without knowing exact angles and elevations, and there's simply no other explanation which actually works.To tackle one final piece of deliberate sleight of hand by Cristian (who sticks with the “they thought they hit it but missed” excuse) I see he produces this image, showing supposedly how Amtrack #07 has some front fender damage from an anti tank round which landed nearby…Now, not only were all rounds which missed landing to the left / port side of the Amtrack (none to the right / starboard) but not one member of her crew even reported a rocket attack. These dents are simply caused by a 29 tonne vehicle crashing into earth banks and low walls, and the damage (and you can see the vehicle trying to extricate itself from some collision in this very picture) could be from anything. It's a thin aluminium plate at this point. Plus, HEAT rounds don't blast outwards anyway. That's one myth debunked… nobody ever tried to hit this vehicle with a rocket, because they had already used them all, just as they always said.Let's move on a bit….Here, top left, we see the smashed gunner's scope from Amtrack #07 held in an Argentine museum and reported as being “the one". Now look again… “the one" is completely shot through, whilst this has only been cracked by glancing rounds… and it isn't a gunner's scope at all, it's a driver's scope, which would have been on the port side, closest to the Royal Marines, at the right angle for glancing fire. Indeed, the central indent here shows that the fire was coming from the same angle they'd have fired at it from.So tell me, because it isn't from Amtrack #07 which had an intact driver's scope, which Amtrack it's from? Argentina says only one was ever hit. We know they were only used on one day ever… so this is from another Amtrack, and it's obvious they knew it too. The only people talking about “another Amtrack, not #07” are the Royal Marines…. They're the only ones whose story is holding up right now.What else have we got?Amtrack #17 (again, the one which supposedly never went to the Falklands) with a hole right behind the commander's cupola exactly where both George Brown and Mark Gibbs saw it hit. Seeing it six times in three days after, Royal Marine Jim Fairfield described it also as “a neat little 66 hole right behind the commander's cupola”. Again, angle and elevation as well as exact location of damage are the same, and it even has bullet marks… but there's a great excuse for this:Here, the small port hole in the same location. Could it have been just taken off? Could that explain the hole?What if that round went straight through this external fixture? Suddenly, both theories work together, and often, that's just how history works.Gibbs stated he hit it “Three quarters of the way up and along on the left hand side” whilst Brown stated “I know EXACTLY where we hit it, just behind the commander's cupola, a moment before we hit it with the 84mm".This angled panel would have been face on to the Royal Marines and although a small surface area, would have been the place to hit. On such a small surface, it isn't inconceivable that the round simply went straight through it. One place on that panel is as good as another. Again, angles, elevations, multiple testimony during and after, and the fact that it's a different vehicle to what Argentina ever admitted, have to say that this is the case. It's a bit of luck, but seems evident that they knew what they hit and where, whilst all Argentina has is “it didn't exist”. The vehicle these guys described isn't #07. This one, in this place at this angle, doesn't supposedly exist… it's evident that it did.But wait….This is what a shaped charge HEAT round impact looks like, right? Yes, against 40–50mm steel armour where some of the blast goes out. It takes a fraction more to penetrate it. That Amtrack has about 20–30mm of aluminium armour. A HEAT round has no resistance and so the blast goes straight through. In an attempt to “debunk" it, some people miss the obvious stuff.QUICK RECAP:So, we've got angle and elevation on a vehicle which supposedly never existed, multiple testimony during and after, the light cluster and scope which obviously aren't from the supposed “only vehicle hit" but from another one, and supporting the Royal Marines version, and a hole right behind the commander's cupola which, though explainable, also matches in every way…So now George Brown and Danny Betts lined up the stuck Amtrack with their big 84mm. They were right in front of it, with the rest of the section 50 feet to their right. The Amtrack was at just over 30 degrees to its right, starboard side up, port side down… now they fired:Here's Amtrack #17 again…. Entry hole just left of the nose as you look at it (EXACTLY where the Royal Marines said they hit it, and as recorded in section commander Chris Bryan's official report) with major blast scab on the other side… the side which was angled up. The blast scab is on the side and top. That there is an 84mm round, with angle and elevation again exact… on a vehicle which supposedly never went to the Falklands and was never in combat….Here's Amtrack #17 again, now repainted… oddly enough, after the pictures were shown in my book “The First Casualty” every picture online in Argentina mysteriously vanished. Make of that what you will. Some have since resurfaced.There was an attempt to claim I'd said this Amtrack “burned for days” (it didn't, and I didn't say so) based upon these American Amtracks which actually did burn for days, after a large amount of ammo in them was hit…Actually, there was reported as a huge black cloud of smoke which came out of it, after which it died. The Stanley fire brigade were actually asked to steam hose it out for the damage inside, which they described as “like the inside of an Auschwitz oven” but NOBODY ever said it was actually on fire.Then we have the Argentine Commander John Ronald Gough (known as “The Englishman” due to his name) who said to one FIDF member, “Your Royal Marines are good shots. They took out one of our armoured vehicles and barely any escaped from the twenty plus guys inside.”That was on April 2nd.Then this:Jacinto Batista, one of the most recognizable faces of April 2nd, taken some years after the Falklands invasion. Someone (Cristian) tried to claim it was taken on the same day as the invasion, in Argentina… the fact that Batista is there and aged about five years, kills that off.The documentary was made in 1987, five years after the war…What it does raise as a question, however, is why he is in front of Amtrack #17 which supposedly never even went to the Falklands… it sounds like protesting too much. You also can't see the damage, just the number. Can't think why they didn't show it, eh?So we have the rear left light cluster, the smashed scope, a hole behind the commander's cupola and a gaping hole left of the nose, exactly where the Royal Marines said they'd hit it: a vehicle which supposedly never went to the Falklands, and which couldn't be Amtrack #17… yet Argentina said only Amtrack #07 got hit… supposedly, this mangled one never saw combat… anyone actually believe this??So did Amtrack #17 actually go to the Falklands?Well, Argentine historian and military vehicles expert Ricardo Sigal Fogliani found out and said so in his own book (twice in fact) and Admiral Horacio Mayorga, commissioned to write the official Argentine history by the head of the Argentine Navy, in his book “No Vencidos” also admitted it went. Fogliani had stated that Amtracks #14 & #17 were still being repaired and caught up with the rest, boarding the Cabo San Antonio at night…. So I went and asked the repair shop manager from the 1st Amphibious Vehicles Battalion. He said (without prompting) that #14 & #17 were held back and repaired, and BOTH were picked up by Marines and taken to the Cabo San Antonio. He confirmed what Fogliani said. I asked if he could be mistaken and he said no. His orders were to have an empty workshop, and he complied with those orders. He remembered it was a frantic rush.So #17 DID go to the Falklands and DID get denied, as confirmed by an Admiral in the official history, a historian and military vehicles expert and the repair shop manager, and it has the EXACT same damage at the EXACT same places the Royal Marines always said. And Argentina covered it up.Let's ask Jim Fairfield, former Royal Marine and Stanley resident who saw it six times in three days, from April 3rd to April 5th:“I can positively confirm that one Amtrack was hit and destroyed near to the Ion Station as I saw it six times. I used to pass it on my way to and from work. It was slewed to its right, facing into town, half in the drainage ditch and, despite a few ponchos that were over it, it was clear that it had taken several hits from a Charlie-G and 66mm's. The Amtrack was still there when I passed it on my way home on April 5th. The wind had taken the ponchos away, the back doors were bent open and large amounts of blood stains, shrapnel and blast damage could still be seen inside the cabin. It was literally full of blood and shit. From the sheer amount of blood, of blood stains and internal damage, I don't think anyone in the back could have got out alive.”So we have every shred of evidence showing it did happen and only Argentina saying it didn't… and people can try to “explain” the evidence but it's still evidence… it doesn't vanish. You still need to deal with it and explain it. How does Amtrack #17 get multiple, to the inch, corresponding damage, with everything from official histories by Argentine Admirals to those who sent it confirming the story? Where do that light cluster and scope come from? Why does #17 have a gaping wound right over the nose, exactly where the Royal Marines said they hit it?It isn't just Jim Fairfield, indeed over 20 people saw it inside and out over those days… but hey let's keep it simple and count, shall we? Argentina had 21 Amtracks and said they only took 20, right?Then considering Amtrack #05 was the vanguard/ lead vehicle under one of my best friends, Captain Santillan, and he was first off, and this was taken on the Cabo San Antonio, just answer me one question…. Why, if there are 20, is there an odd number?Sometimes, the truth is right in front of you.**Drops Mic**(Next time a Royal tells you he did something, believe him… that's what I did.)If you want to see how history is actually done, and how these incredible Royals were maligned, as Argentina lied and hid casualties, read The First Casualty….

My father was a medic in the 3rd Armored Division in WW II.I've posted several stories about my dad's service in that war here on Quora.The 3rd Armored liberated the Nordhausen slave labor camp (“Mittlebau Dora”) in Thuringia, Germany, where slave laborers had built V-2 rockets under the Nazi lash. My father was there.My dad spoke only a little about it, but I do remember him telling me;“When we first entered the camp, we were surrounded by joyous prisoners…but they looked like the walking dead. Many of them could barely even walk…they looked like living skeletons.And around the perimeters of the camp, off in the woods, were these huge stacks of V-2 rocket parts…motors and missile tubes and rocket fins. They were covered in camouflage netting.But there was an unbelievable stench coming from somewhere; and we couldn't figure out what was causing it.But then we inspected two of the stacks, and as we got closer to them, the stench overwhelmed us and we suddenly realized that they weren't stacks of rocket parts like the other piles; they were stacks of bodies.Piles of human corpses, stacked twenty or thirty feet high and fifty or sixty yards long.And as we walked up to the second pile, we noticed a thin, nearly naked body at the top of the pile that was moving.It was a slave laborer, who'd been left for dead on that pile but was still alive.Almost retching from the smell, myself and another medic climbed up onto that gory, stinking mound and carried the poor guy down. He was covered in sores and urine and feces. God only knows how many days he'd been up there.After we got him down on the ground, he kept saying something to us in a language we couldn't understand. It turned out he was speaking Polish. And one of our guys of Polish descent said, “Water! He's asking for water!“So we got him some, and gently poured it into his mouth.He gulped it down, smiled…and promptly died.We left him there, by the side of the pile.We also inadvertently killed many of the prisoners by feeding them too much. It wasn't exactly common knowledge back then that you shouldn't feed a starving man as much as he wanted; the food would tax and overwhelm their depleted systems and often, they would die. But we didn't know that.So the boys gave and fed the prisoners anything they wanted and whatever they were carrying in their vehicles and backpacks; K-rations, C-rations, fruit cocktail, pineapple slices, ham and eggs, spaghetti and meatballs, biscuits and chocolate D-bars and hard candies…whatever they had.And many of the prisoners wolfed down all that stuff…and died shortly thereafter.But we didn't know any better. We certainly didn't mean to kill them.But we were able to save a lot of them, too.I'll never forget those piles of bodies and the stink of that terrible place as long as I live. The only thing I remember comparable to it was driving through the Falaise Pocket in France about a year before.That stunk like hell, too.”
