Hundreds of Euro-fighters or a dozen US troops (with the right rules of engagement).

They lost 35 out of 4,500 and now want hundreds more to replace them. Is Monty Montgomery the general over there?

The "Euro-fighters" as you call them are UK Paratroopers.

I would love, absolutely love, to see you repeat that kind of slur in their presence.

I would also bet money that any US millitary who have served with the Paras would put you straight in short order if you ever discussed it with them.

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.
