Hmmm. . .I'm not quite sure how you work that one out as we destroyed the luftwaffe during the battle of Britain and destroyed Hitlers hopes of ever putting operation sealion (the planned nazi invasion of Britain) into action well before you decided to join up with the good fight. Having sea between us and the Nazis and the fact that the Royal Navy was the largest navy in the world also helped a bit too. Hitler had long given up plans to invade us by the time you started helping, but you definitely saved the French, still, we all make mistakes!
I don't mean to belittle the Brit's determination in battle, but you might want to consider the timeline on American contributions. Furthermore, your Air Force was decimated, and your Navy wasn't technologically sufficient to defend your homeland. Newsflash. The English Channel isn't that big. I hear you have a tunnel now.
I think this whole thread needs to take a breath and lighten up a little.
It's simply never wrong to act with a little class, and that is how this country will recieve British Royalty on an official visit. All the harping on Camilla is a bit old and tiresome, and reflects badly on us.
