Repeat: the article was posted to expose idiocies of a supposedly conservative newspaper, not an attack on the British troops. And it isn't "just one article", this is the latest in a series of similar articles trashing American troops. The Brits on this forum have tended to see these articles as just showing pride in their troops. American newspapers have not seemed to need to trash British troops in order to express pride in our own.

Pardon my 'French', but HORSESHITE!

If your intention in posting this article was to show up the Daily Telegraph, please link EVERY other article in the 'series'.

I will counter with positive supporting the troops links for you from the same CONSERVATIVE newspaper.

If the posting of this article wasn't meant as a sleight on the British troops, why aren't you in their making that clear to every anti-British comment made on this thread?

I don't need to defend the British troops, nor do I care to engage in every military discussion that gets started on the thread.

I do understand that the Telegraph is the preeminent conservative newspaper in Britain, and assume it reflects conservative thinking in Britain. It's willingness to print this tripe, in my opinion, exposes a vein of anti-Americanism, not even to mention that it is particularly low-class, and is something conservative American newspapers would not stoop to indulge.

I won't be chasing down all the other similar articles the Telegraph has printed. I'll see if I can find a couple of them for you.
