“Basra.. Brits let Shiite gangsters run amuck, still a hole, while they scurry away with tails between legs.”

Well, let’s be candid here: The British troops are good troops, and do not “scurry away with tails between legs.” Their cowardly civilian leadership in London call the shots, and the troops do what good troops always do: They follow orders.

Sorry if I wasnt clear enough, I have nothing but respect forf their troops. I was referring to their leadership. The ones who ordered them to scurry away,preferably with tails between legs, as it makes the Islamofascists feel better about themselves.

There were some other European soldiers who got in a lot of trouble about 60 years ago for “following orders”.

Very true. I've had a couple dealings with the Brits while in the military and their enlisted force is very capable and professional. That being said, their officers are poofters and their politicians are muslim a$$ kissing socialist fools.
