What I am really starting to resent is the superiority complex of the Brits which was evident even before this incident. Even back in WW2, Montgomery was a arrogant, primadonna. By the way, Audie Murphy was a short man, but a bigger man than anybody the Brits have, and as a Texan he was a bit of a redneck. Also, this "let's not throw the sweets at the kids, they have dignity BS" wasn't even a consideration in WW2, we had bombers dropping chocolate, etc.
What is wrong with the Arabs and their uberfragile self esteem?
Also, we should have no Americans under the command of foreign Armies.

"Also, we should have no Americans under the command of foreign Armies."
Soon-to-retire, 4-star General Tommy Franks was the commander in Iraq.
COL Collins was the commander of British troops in a particluar area, but is still a full colonel and did not need a twerp major to interfere.
