No freakin’ way. MY head would explode.

On this day, the anniversary of the biggest battle in the Revolution, yet.

The Aussies and Canadians, etc, owe their commonwealth, relative independence and amicable relationship with UK to the USA. UK never made that mistake again!

But I’m fine with being totally separate from them. No one tells us when to send our men to do their wars, and we don’t have royals on our currency. That’s fine with me.

Your position certainly makes perfect sense for an American proud of his country. But just as a matter of record, Britain hasn't been able to send Commonwealth troops to war since 1931, and there's no requirement for any Commonwealth country to have the royals on our currency either (although, as far as I know, all the Commonwealth Realms still do, there are only sixteen Commonwealth Realms out of 53 members. 32 Commonwealth countries are Republics and five have their own separate Royal families).
