OK. Just a few things to say. The finest army in the world? Please, I want some back up to that. Please prove that is a fact. You certainly cannot prove it had to do with WWII. If America hadn't stepped in, you would be Nazi Germany right now. So please, indulge me with some evidence that you have the "Finest Army." It must be those shorts the soldiers wear (Yes, shorts are part of the battle dress). Yeah, keep up the good work. Yeah frighten us Americans.
America relies on the British military. Once again, some facts please. Yes, you are in Iraq. I am as well. I am an American. The Brits work from the Border of Kuwait up to about 30 miles into Iraq. Basrah, Safwan, and Umm Qasr. Please tell me all the Brits are doing to take such a huge work load off the US.
You can be a proud Brit, but do not mistake your pride with false visions of past glory. The English were once a mighty empire. But so were the Aztecs. You have had your time, and now America is having hers and I do not forsee anything coming between that. I have spoken with British soldiers, and none believe that is remotely close to being a superpower any longer. Being the world's Superpower does have it's perks. Tony Blair can say what he wants. All of your politicians can. But in 1776 we declared our independence from England, and in 2006, we are no longer your cousins. I hate to say this because I respect the British, but your time has passed. You have the bomb, good for you. So does Pakistan. Does that mean they deserve a world power status as well?
Alright, your soccer league is better. Yeah, I knew I could send you off with a smile.
Well said, Sir, and God bless you.
