What's Wrong With You Britts??

[Nobby]

That's what make us Americans.

If I want to jump into my gas guzzeling SUV, and run over your Mini Cooper or Farfignugen I can ! ! !

Let me see:

Changing of the guard or Monster Truck Rally

Britts or US

Big Ben or Six Flags Theme Park

Bobbies without guns or LAPD high speed chase

Prince Charles Wedding or The Hot Bush Twins

Polo or Nascar

Tea Time or "Beer Thirty"

Come on now. Well, at least we know who the fun ones are :salute:

If you are so much fun why is your flag in your signature at half mast?

what's wrong with the Brits?

they haven't won a real war since... well.... hmmm....

the Falklands? when they took on the might of the Argentinian 5-boat Navy...

ok, they did kick the crap out of the Argies... but... even the Argies could kick
the crap out of the Argies (and often did)

You know what they say....It ain't the size of the dog in the fight but the size of the fight in the dog..........Just to remind you what we do with 104,000 soldiers, takes you 900,000, you do the maths!

and again


:11:


where have you been for the past hundred years?

US, UK, and France against Germany: US helps kick butt

US v. Hitler, Hirohito, and Mussolini: US kicks butt

US v. North Korea and China: US kicks butt

US v. Soviet Union: US kicks butt and grinds their economy to the ground trying
to keep up. (hint, the "Soviet Union" doesn't exist anymore)

US v. Iraq I: US kicks butt

US v. Afghanistan: US kicks butt

US v. Irag II: US kicks butt

other than Viet-Nam, in fact, the US has won *every single conflict* in which it
has fought since 1918 (Somalia is debatable, but probably a loss too, though
i wouldn't qualify it as a war. more like a limited deployment; likewise Lebanon
in the early 80's)

do you realize the overwhelming power of the US military?

fact: no American solider has been under air attack since World War II (other
than by US planes in error)

fact: no other army in the world can use combined arms the way the US uses it
(i'm talking sergeants in the battlefield calling in immediate air strikes and artillery
supprt in a matter of minutes)

fact: the US spends more in military spending that the next *nine* countries
combined

and so on...

i'd say that's a pretty good batting average

All this says is that you don't get on with many people!

Surprised you brought the war subject up. Yes we beat the Argies and there five boats. now lets Talk about Nam and the rice paddy farmers kicking your butts. What is the US bating average no to high I think. (sic)

Interestingly, for those who think that history started ten minutes ago, the United States soldier lost absolutely none of the battles against either the Viet Cong, or the NVA.

The American military left the field in Viet Nam having been defeated by the political climate and the anti-American Left at home.

(Note: Seems to be starting up again, with some of the same old suspects.)

Andy states US beats Russia by a war of nutrition, but this doe's not apply to the VC v US.

I'm not a suspect guilty as charged sir.

 

[outlawaggie]

C'mon....I thought hunting season in the States was a cherished part of the "American Way". In the UK hunting has been banned.....is that going to happen any time soon in the States???

If it does I'm leaving. And I mean really leaving not leaving like all of Hollyweird said they were doing if Bush got re-elected. Notice that they are all still here.

In other words, people like John Kerry and Hanoi Jane lost the war. NOT THE AMERICAN SOLDIERS.

I think he means attrition

No, what Andy said was:

"US v. Soviet Union: US kicks butt and grinds their economy to the ground trying
to keep up. (hint, the "Soviet Union" doesn't exist anymore)"

What you said was:

"US beats Russia by a war of nutrition (sic)" which would mean that you think that Russia was beaten in a food war."

You also said:

"...but this doe's (sic) not apply..." Andy was not talking about deer in his remarks.

Judging by the above, you do not write in either English or American very well.

Judging by your last line (in reference to my previous comment):

"I'm not a suspect guilty as charged sir."

You are an anti-American foreigner living in America! :redhot:
