Too bad. I understand though. It means you probably don't think much of Guam or Puerto Rico. You're probably a bit gun shy too. My Scottish ancestors are rolling over in their graves.
2—Yes, America helped. But there is this myth now that we wouldnt have won without the US help.
Oh hogwash. Only in your mind. Most people don't even know the type of help that was given.
1—Firstly, what the fudge has guns to with it.
BTW, you do realise that naturalman and I are ex-armed forces?. Gun shy?. I was a Para for seven years!. And I have been a gun owner since I was 17. And still am. Rifle, shotgun, and more air weapons than I can count.
Your comment, even if not intended to be so, LOOKED and read disrespectful. An actual bonefide Aussie thought so to.
2—Nope, I have read here many times and from other Americans that US involvement was so crucial in 1982, that the lack of it would have meant a British defeat. I have had to correct/attack such tosh, as has Winnie, Vanders and our Aussie friend.
