UKMAN :
First off without the US ou would be speaking German. It was our ships that kept feeding you with supplies.
Not that the brave pilots of the RAF did not keep the fight from being an Invasion. Without air support Hitler would not invade.
But then you decided you had had enough of the Great Winston Churchill and FIRED him when it was all over.
You became a Democratic Country in name only. You are more socialistic and becoming like France every day.
You had you pretty boy Monty, which won in the Desert with the help of blow up rubber tanks. Which fooled the Germans.
Yet when it came time to win in Normandy we were always waiting on Monty. Falaise Gap comes to mind. It would have been closed had Monty MOVED FASTER.
Operation Market Garden was a FAILURE. The British tankers were under orders not to destroy property unnecessarily. And the 101st Airborne who made ALL there objectives, were watching the Brit tankers sitting on the road having their spot of tea when the British 6th Airborne was getting chewed to pieces with no armor support. After which they were no longer an effective fighting force.
American tankers would not have stopped until they reached their men. As proven in Bastogne. Pattons tanks moved fast never stopped to take a break to reach the city.
Our Forces NEVER lost a battle in Viet Nam. The war was lost on politics.
We produced over 50,000 Sherman tanks plus planes, trucks etc.... to win the war in Europe.
And what we should have done is what the left is saying now. Leave Europe to its own because it was the Japs who attacked Pearl not Germans. As was said in WWI and WWII it is just the Euopeans fighting again. Let them fight their own war we will not get involved.
For you Brits sake thanks Tojo and the Imperial Navy. Without the US and the manpower and supplies Britain would have made a deal with Hitler because the common enemy to you both was Stalin. Winston hated the commies.
>First off without the US ou would be speaking German. It was our ships that kept feeding you with supplies.<
I speak German anyway, but thanks.
>But then you decided you had had enough of the Great Winston Churchill and FIRED him when it was all over.<
I wasn't around at the time, but I think Gran and Granddad voted Conservative. As far as I know, it was the troops who voted Labour. Didn't the US vote G.H.Bush out of power after the first Gulf War?
>You became a Democratic Country in name only. You are more socialistic and becoming like France every day.<
The name of the country is the United Kingdom of Great Britain and Northern Ireland. Doesn't sound either democratic or socialist...
Becoming like France, moi?
>You had you pretty boy Monty, which won in the Desert with the help of blow up rubber tanks. Which fooled the Germans.<
Monty a pretty boy? Whatever turns you on. :-). Apart from that, I think you're getting something mixed up here. It was Patton who commanded the rubber tank army prior to D-Day.

I know Monty was slow and methodical. And everybody in Britain knows that Market Garden was one of our many heroic failures. So what is your point?
>Our Forces NEVER lost a battle in Viet Nam. The war was lost on politics.<
As the Vietnamese guy said, the military part is irrelevant. Wars are often lost politically, after all, war is just the continuation of politics by other means, said Clausewitz. But never mind.
>And what we should have done is what the left is saying now. Leave Europe to its own because it was the Japs who attacked Pearl not Germans. As was said in WWI and WWII it is just the Euopeans fighting again. Let them fight their own war we will not get involved.

That's all in the realm of "What if...?". I do however doubt Churchill would ever have made a deal with Hitler.
Anyway, like I said, you're taking my post too seriously.
