I don't suppose the sailors on board ships considered that when he was flying CAP ,above what remained of, our Falklands Armada in attempt to draw off Exodus missiles in a helicopter. Exodus Missiles. "You can see them coming (on radar) but there is not much you can do to get out their way"

I for one have never for one moment underestimated PA's personal courage during his time in the Falklands War.
But thousands of service personel were as brave, and braver.
But that does not entitle them, or him, to have a lifetime of credit in the behaviour bank that allows them, or him, to behave like a boorish arrogant ignorant fool for ever, and the world will simply shrug, because he was brave once doing a job that hundreds of other people did better, for longer, but don't have the kudos of royalty to draw attention to what they did.
