The Brits have historically had a bad rep.

Maybe in Hollywood accounts of World War II. I enjoyed Patton also and I suspect he would have done the samething the Col. allegedly did.
The British SAS are among the elite fighting forces in the world.I believe the only British forces in Iraq were SAS.Remember they were slugging it out in southern Iraq allowing our calvary to make the lightning run to Bagdad

Yeah and that trek to Baghdad was like riding a jeep on the beaches of Panama City during Spring Break!

I'm not denigrating what they did, butI would like our soldiers not to be trashed constantly. The Brit press is just upset that their guy is getting charged with this, while the ugly, short, redneck neanderthals in the American army have not been accused of such conduct.

What will the French think, the genteel Brits get collared for brutality, and the bestial Americans are planting watermelon gardens for the locals?

By the way, the Brit's bad rep is not a Hollywood concoction, Ike Bios and everything else show it. Dealing with Montgomery was like dealing with Barbara Streisand. He had that Hillary/ Marie Antoinette complex.
