That would be fine with me, if it's what you want. You just replace our fighters with Americans. Then my British officer, a veteran of Iraq1, Iraq2 (two tours), now with NATO in a southern province of Afghanistan could come home to us.
Maybe ALL the NATO fighting men should come home. According to you, several dozen Americans could handle it.
Your British officer is coming home anyway (and will stay there). Blair is going down, and neither the Conservatives nor Labor will stand with the Americans after that. The end of the alliance is here, killed by New Labor. I am a bit bitter, given that my family sent its sons to Europe to take care of Adolf, and now the Euros seem to have forgotten that. Yes, America will do it alone if we have to. Mark Steyn got that right.
