Marc Malone: I am not a bloke and i wasn't being uppity.I think we have got lost in the translation. However my love,i am not trying to argue who is the best,just asking for respect. Again 'We came to your rescue twice'etc.I can't be bothered refuting these comments,and i could but i don't think you are interested in our history and i am not trying to score points. Marc, what is with you yanks,why is there such a need to feel superior ,i don't get it, a nation lacking humility is not a generous one. One thing though if you are the master race,exceptional people,why have you got Obama as a leader and why do you all despise left-wing America,and they despise right-wing America. I have no idea what America is but you hate eachother and detest your leader this trait is peculiar to your land. 54. Marc Malone:

Otherwise, whe should still celebrate all the war ends, and God knows that we have quite a few of them since our country existed ! Besides it is in adequation with EU policies, we don't want to embarass our Germans new partners ! As far as for myself, I don't care, I always found these ceremonies boring, ome kind of nostalgy for the past well, 11 of november will not be celebrated in the next years anymore, for Sarkozy decided it lately, since our last veteran died in the year.

England came to us for assistance. Would you have rather that we not have given it at all? So which is it to be, England asked for assistance or we forced it on them? Also, how about you return the $12,000,000,000 the Marshall Plan gave you that was never repaid or expected to be repaid? Yea, that what I thought you would do. Pragmatist,

I used the post number for reference. Lauding ourselves is not a putdown of you. You may think English troops are as brave et al as Amis, but history shows otherwise. We beat you twice. We also came to your rescue twice, and outperformed you each time. Recently, you all left Fallujah in defeat. WE sent in the Marines, and won where you could not. Right now, the U.S. military is the absolute finest in the world. (We should be, after so many conflicts.) The U.S. is also the most generous nation in the world. So, while I love you English blokes, don't get all uppity. ;) #53 MAGS – First, I was defending against a troll. I used the post number for reference. Lauding ourselves is not a putdown of you.

I think because the article was about the U.K that was a clue that it was about us. There isn't many in the coalition of the 'willing',if it wasn't the U.K ,then who were you referring to ,that looks down on lesser races. As we are sexually repressed in the U.K, all that cuddley,wudderly,huggy,kissy ,carey,sharey love in, that you call your military might not go down well with our hairy arsed squaddies(that's just the women). I know you love your country,but your allies are exceptional in bravery and generosity as well.It's not an U.S only gene.

Where did I ever say or imply the USA was morally bound to supply us nowhere thats where. No the USA did what it did for purely COMMERCIAL reasons and to get bits of the British Empire it coveted. Diego Garcia ring a bell or is that not in your History Book??? So spare me your NATIONALIST BS and admit that all I said was TRUE and not some death or glory claptrap you heard in American Saloons.

The hindus and sikhs in Britain are not out for world domination or demanding special "rights". The second generation onwards, they out-Anglo the Anglos, just like our super-Anglo'ing non-Anglo friend Mark Steyn.

I'm not denigrating your guys. I love our little English buddies. Kidding! :) Seriously, I was defending our honor, so to speak. I was exalting our guys, not denigrating yours. I personally believe in our special relationship. Our Armistice day long ago morphed into Veterans' Day. It serves the same purpose as your Remembrance Day. We do not, however, fall silent. We do take the day off and hold ceremonies. Yes, bringing up Abu Ghraib was a cheap shot. I feel no shame for it. A few louts dishonored themselves, not America. It's sad when too few of our young have a proper moral compass, anymore. One question: Why did you think my posting was all about you? #49 mags – Sorry about your premature… posting.

Marc Malone: 'Our soldiers don’t look down on them as lesser races like other nations’ troops do. We see human beings. We befriend them. The kids rush to the Amis, because they know we bear candy, literally. Our guys love their kids. We love their women and kids like their own men do not. We play. We love. We embrace. We care. We have the biggest hearts.' So you have chosen Armistice Day when the whole country in the U.K comes to a stand still on the 11th hour of 11th day of the 11th month when the guns fell silent,to denigrate our troops Who are the lesser races? I could be annoying by bringing up abu ghraib. Sorry about typo and the premature posting.
