I was associated with our military and the UK military for 40 years Thank God. not politicians who in my book are not worthy to lick the mud off the boots of the guys I served with. OIF vet
Aye, I had a fair few years working with US forces - Marines, Army, SOF and Air Force. Shared bases at times, friendly bar fights, joint ops, the works. Never Navy for some reason, but friends of mine in the Royal Navy were full of praise for their counterparts.
To me, those people are the ideal of America. Most of them, including the Marine I wound up in a battle royale with one night, are still close friends.
