I dont think the Brits are poofters at all. In fact, I think the Iranians and indeed the world might be underestimating the UK. Ignore the negativity, America hasnt exactly been stalwart either-Sadr City is still standing, Qaddafi is still breathing and Somalia is still a hell hole. The Brits have stood with America time and time again. I think its time America stood with Britain for a change..
Cheers mate, I appreciate the sentiment. :-)The U.S. and Britain have always been there for each other- and long may it continue!
The Argentinian military leaders also underestimated the 'British response'. Recapturing the Falklands was a logistical impossibility, yet the British pulled it off.
And I believe the punchline from Churchill went something like this. 'They have chosen dishonor over war, and now they shall have both.'
