Boy, were you two off the mark.

I was merely using Australia and New Zealand as examples of natural allies to the UK and that it was certainly expected that they would help England to kick out Argentina from the Falklands.

Comparing them to Guam and Puerto Rico was not a comment on the military capabilities of Australia and NZ at all but rather a poke at your "allies" comment. As if Guam and PR would not be an ally to us in a similar situation.

So which is it, Scotsman, did the US assist the UK or not with the Falklands?

OK, my apologies. Obviously I did misunderstand what you were saying.

1—It read as disrespectful to Australia and NZ. Both naturalman and I read it as such.

2—Yes, America helped. But there is this myth now that we wouldnt have won without the US help. Which is nonsense.
