[An Old Marine]

BAE, Britain's largest weapons manufacturer, is not selling to China, ban or no ban. They said they'd rather sell to the USA.

This is because in Britain, unlike France, the concepts of integrity, loyalty, and freedom have not been lost.

May God preserve the British. In the meantime the Brits can call on a couple of Americans if they need to.

A story I heard from an American Marine may be of interest to you - during some sort of war games, British and American Marines were put together to take over an emplacement held by their French counterparts. The Americans and Brits "stormed the ramparts" and found little or no resistance - when they broke into where the French where, they found out why - apparently the Frenchmen were taking a break at the time.
