The British are true friends, and beyond valiant, as I believe the recent war has illustrated. I think that this discussion has moved far beyond the original intent of the article, which was to discuss the differences of the American and British troops' strategies in Iraq.

I certainly did not agree with everything that the journalist wrote reguarding our fine Marines, but I don't hold the entire British population responsible becuase one journalist rightfully bragged about the superiority of British peacekeeping techniques. So he/she doesn't like Marines, that's perfectly alright. We weren't there to be liked, and obviously we're not basing our foreign policy on likeability. On the other hand, it's wonderful to have good friends who know how to be likeable.

You are likeable, you bunch of Brits. I like you. Let's be friends, just please don't let your SAS come after me - unless they're in uniform, then that would be fun. (I'm a girl, I can say mushy touchy-feely stuff like that.)

The intent of the article was to bash America and American troops.
