Funny you should mention him; I think Australia is a better ally than the UK. Sent troops to Vietnam, were quick to help both pre- and post-9/11...
Britain has fought in two world wars, alongside America. We fought in Korea. And the Gulf, Iraq and Afghanistan. And every American knows how the British were the first at their side after ‘9-11’. Even in Vietnam, we quietly both sent the SAS and also trained US SF units in Hong Kong.
The reason we didn’t send troops (officially) to Vietnam was that we had just fought a very similar war in Malaya 1948-60 (we won btw), and between 1962
and 66, were fighting yet another similar war in Borneo (again victory), not to mention other British conflicts at the time (South Arabia, the Radfan, Aden, Northern Ireland).
Not to mention (successful) counterterrorism in Kenya and Cyprus, both of which only finished in 1960.
At the time we were asked to join in Vietnam, we’d just come out of one war and were fighting another two or three conflicts!. I don’t think Americans are aware of this.....
The British, even after being stabbed in the back by America in 1956, has stood by the US. Your comments are a disgraceful slur.
