[edit] POV

The article is written with a slight bias toward the UK side. laddiebuck 01:02, 2 August 2006 (UTC)

I suggest there is a POV problem in that the article tends towards hagiography in its treatment of H Jones. I will put a ref to "Not Mentioned in Dispatches" which "pretty much argues that the British were only victorious at Goose Green in 1982 because Colonel Jones managed to get himself killed"(!)

[edit] Military blunder

Military Blunders: The How and Why of Military Failure by Saul David has Goose Green as an example of a failure due to outside meddling - a battle that was not absolutely necessary to be fought (and was also poorly executed). There is criticism of "H". GraemeLeggett 12:17, 18 December 2006 (UTC)
