What happens, particularly as regards Argentine morale, if General Galtieri takes personal command of Argentine troops in the Falklands in 1982?

[Ignore for the moment that this would probably require possession by ASB.]

What are the effects of the President broadcasting to the nation and the world "live from the Malvinas"? At the very least an offer of safe conduct to Margaret Thatcher to meet him face to face at Puerto Argentino (the Argentine name for Port Stanley) to discuss outstanding matters of dispute would be an interesting diplomatic move.

What are the consequences if Galtieri is either killed or captured by British troops? If captured, I assume that he would be put on trial for war crimes.

Any ideas about this?
