T.O.- Barack Could Sell ANYTHING!

I was in favor of it when it started, and will be again when they find those WMDs ....... and barely taking back the Falklands from Argentina ...... lets look at that shall we ..... Argentina is 30 minute air time from the Falkland Islands, the Argentinians had superior airpower about 11-1 I think it was, we had aircraft off 2 carriers, our troops sailed 8000 miles and reclaimed the Islands from a force that had us outnumbered 5-1 and were well dug in.Heavily outnumbered British troops took back a British Island so to say it was pitiful strikes me as being history challanged.

Why did you mention Germany ?, I hope your not talking about WW2 as you sat on your arses and done nothing for 2 years whilst Germany conquered Europe, Blitzed Britain to rubble and murdered 3 million innocent Jews, you came into the war only after you were attacked by Japan...... if you had never been attacked you would all of carried on with your ho downs and done nothing. I notice you never included North Vietnam in your list ?

I remember storming Norman commander of the first Iraq war ( I agreed with that one too) saying that man for man there is not a better trained force than the British army, that coming from a 4 star American general should hold some sway .... I mean the British SAS trained American special forces ....Delta Force to be exact, I would bet any amount of money that if you sent 10 sas and any other 10 troops from any army in the world into an area the sas would be the only ones to come out alive........ I am glad your proud of your guns and for that I congratulate you ......... lets hope there are not many more Columbines.

1. It took your sorry asses 2 weeks to get down there. The whole world watched your Navy meander down to a third world country and fly Harriers against A4 skyhawks. Pathetic in every sense of the word.

2. We kicked Germany's ass twice. WWI and WWII although our participation in WWI was at best superficial. If it weren't for the good ole USA, you'd be goosestepping now.

3. Your British SAS troops are great. Hope you have enough of them. Take your gun control and socialist ideas back to Europe where they belong. You can stay.

8000 miles does take awhile, and we never lost one Harrier against Mirage jets which were faster, YOU kicked Germany's ass twice eh .........ok whatever you say, maybe if Russia were not causing half the German army to be on the Eastern front you would be goosestepping too ....... comments like these prove why Americans are detested even in countries that are allies, we done this and we are better than everybody else at everything ..... blah blah blah, hand on heart for our flag, jesus was an American really morals ............... maybe you should take a reality check on your great country, oh and while your at it that awful socialist country China will want their money back soon .... so start saving

So Darren are you a US citizen?

The Falkland were a joke and why are you there you imperialistic dogs? What right does the Queen have over land 8000 miles away and absolutely nothing to do with Great Britian?

As far as Germany goes, Do you have History books in the UK? Have you heard of Nomandy, the Battle of the Bulge, or P-51's? If you honestly think that Great Britian would have survived without our help, you are as deluded as your socialistic tripe. As far as Germany invading the US, I didn't see that part in the movie. What city did they bomb? Where was there invasion force. You might have heard of Dunkirk. If not by the grace of God, You had no plan. There was this other thing called the Marshall plan. I doubt you want to remember that either. Any other conquerer, which we were, would have put you under our boot and you'd be singing God Bless America instead of singing a song to a worthless queen that can't even figure out why the world was infatuated with Diana. You are a washed up island that no one gives a shit about except us. Without your big brother, you'd be Belgium. You have no industry, no military power, no technology, and no resources. The epitome of ingratitude.

As far as China goes, when the 1 billion people that live there realize that they shouldn't be working for $20 a day, they will take care of China. China's main technological expertise is to copy other's technology. And they do it poorly. As far as them owning the US, Japan tried that in the 80's. There is no rising sun on Wall Street or Washington. There will never be a Buddha or a Great Wall in the Capital. Keep living in your dream world that says the US is over as the sole super power in the world. We are the only country in the world that can touch any part of the globe withing 24 hours with an invasion force. We have the best technology, the strongest military, the best economy, the most freedom, and we are the home to a very cool band called STYX.

[DarrenUK]

What right do we have to the Falklands ........ they are British Islands thats what ........ If Russia invaded Alaska would you try and take it back ? Where did I say that Germany invaded USA ? Not one American city was bombed ......... so your people did not have to go through the nightmare of the blitz ....... that is one thing you should be thankful for. Washed up island where more Americans visit on vacation than any other country,and more people worlwide visit London than any other, probably because we have history..... where workers work a 35 hour week and have a minimum of 5 weeks paid vacation and 11 days of government holidays a year, We have no industry eh ...... well I wont even bother with that one that is just a moronic comment, no military power, apart from man to man the best army on the planet..... according to fighting forces magazine ...

The British Army is without a doubt is the best army in the world. It may not always have the best equipment and technology, but the British army has definitely got the best trained, most skilled and professional soldiers in all the world.

The British Army are without question the finest soldiers. They are the standard all others aim to and Sandhurst is were the rest of the world comes to train their armies.

It hasn't lost a major conflict in its five hundred year history and it was the back bone to the largest Empire on the earth ever. The British are too modest when it comes to its armed forces as it likes to keep a low profile.

The best army in the world be a combination of the US, British, Australian and Canadian forces. The UK/Australian SAS and SBS special forces are simply the best. When it comes to the best regular troops, I would have to say it is the Gurkha regiments from Nepal who are part of the British army. I have heard that during the Falklands War that the Gurkhas fought the heavily armed Argentinian invaders with their knives and beat them hands down.

If you had a level playing field combat situation (same amount of soldiers) between any army in the world and the British the British would win full stop.

The British Army is without any shadow of a doubt the world's best trained and combat experienced Army of either the ancient or modern world. It has participated in far more wars than the whole of the rest of the worlds armies put together and that is historical fact. It also raised and trained half of the worlds existing armed forces today. Even the Indian and Pakistan armies have a common heritage being formed by the British. There initial training is the longest in the world for infantry and marines. Their assault courses put the USMC and special forces to shame as few can complete them and those that can in the US forces take twice as long as the British. Britain does not have the high tech equipment of the US Armed Forces due to the fact successive modern governments whose politicians have never served in the Armed Forces, continue to starve them of proper equipment and keep reducing the armed forces size. Individual infantry and Armoured Regiments have accumulated more battle honours for their colors and Gideon's than the combined infantry regiments of any other worlds army. Sadly they are only allowed to display a very limited and selected number of battle honours on their colours and Gideon's. They do not display any battle honours for the American War of Independence (American Revolutionary war) because it is the only war they ever lost and is regarded as a civil war fought overseas, kin against kin. Today they are also the best paid armed forces. The minimum initial training for non combat arms is 13 weeks, for artillery and armour it is 18 weeks and for the infantry it is 26 weeks (30 parachute Regiment). The Corps of Royal Marines of the Royal Navy is now 33 weeks.

The SAS are without doubt the best special services in the world, not the Navy Seals. The SAS have a brilliant track record of success after success playing huge roles across the world. Britain invented the computer (charles babbage) so without him you could never visit Styxworld or DDY's website. But I could go on but I wont ....... I will just agree with you ..... America has the best of everything in the world, best cars best hamburgers, best movies, best planes, best everything, so I will just agree with you so you can WIN as it probably gives Americans an orgasm..... winning so yes you are the bomb at everything, well done
I BOW DOWN TO YOU OH MASTERS OF ALL ........................

[DarrenUK]

So Darren are you a US citizen?

No I am a British citizen who has permanant residency here ....... I have the same entitlements but not a resident ..... my wife can have like me dual nationality, so if we ever need to have surgery we can go to England and have it done ...... probably be cheaper with just the airfare to pay for.

Oh and I agree too about Styx

[Classicrockr]

France, USA, Britian - hell - we've all been responsible for helping the others survive during major wars. Nobody saved anybody elses ass more than the others have done.. Grow up you ridiculous fools.....

[Zan]

So Darren are you a US citizen?

How can you legally vote? I thought citicenship was a requirement to vote.

I am getting a kick out of this thread. Everyone so certain it was the other side that screwed it all up for everyone. Now wonder Congress can never get shit done.

[LordofDaRing]

That is easy Zan, he just had ACORN register him.....mulitple times.......

[DarrenUK]

I took my residency card to election office and was sent a card

[Zan]

I took my residency card to election office and was sent a card

That is fucked up. Seriously. Nothing personal, but it's supposed to be the law that to vote, you must be a U.S. CITIZEN.

[yogi]

Darren,

Seriously I dont care who you vote for, but the fact that you are even allowed to vote is part of the reason we have some of the problems that we do.

[Zan]

Darren,

Seriously I dont care who you vote for, but the fact that you are even allowed to vote is part of the reason we have some of the problems that we do.

Write this down, folks. Yogi actually wrote something I agree with. lol

[yogi]

Zan,

We would agree alot more often if you would just admit that you are wrong most of the time.

[LordofDaRing]

The ACLU claims that you are violating a person's civil rights to ask them for identification whent they go to the polls. Talking about opening yourself up to wide voter fraud.

[RedWingFan]

Zan,

We would agree alot more often if you would just admit that you are wrong most of the time.

Sorry, I'm stealing this line.

Just have to wait for 2+ years to get it done...

[DarrenUK]
