	Oh dearie me, guess who's been reading the history books with his thumb
up his ass...

	For the record, the last time we lost a serious war was 1066 AD, when
William the Conqueror defeated the forces of King Harold at the Battle of
Hastings. Damn Frog only beat us with a trick as well. Your whining country was
over 700 years from even being created then.

	What sort of wars have we been involved in? Well, seeing as how you
mentioned it, let's look at the Falklands, shall we? An ally of America, they
had massive amounts of US weapons - their skyhawk jets, half of their navy, a
lot of their infantry weapons came from America, as did virtually all of their
training. They outnumbered us in ships, aircraft, artillery, tanks and men.
They had well over a month to dig in and defend the islands. We had to come
4,000 miles by sea and fight against an enemy who was 40 minutes away by jet
fighter. We whopped their asses. When the para regiment attacked the
Argentinian forces at Goose Green, the Argentinian troops outnumbered the paras
3 to 1. They were well dug in, had barbed mire, minefields, air and artillery
support. We took about 25 dead - they took several hundred. We won that war,
asshole, despite being heavily outnumbered. I don't know whether that says more
about your military equipment or the people you sell it to, but that doesn't
really matter. So check your facts before you start to drivel in here.

	Lets compare that with the US, shall we? At least our fighter pilots
can tell the difference between friendly helicopters and Iraki ones. We don't
accidentally shoot up our allies vehicles from aircraft. When the USMC deployed
to Somalia, it was 7 1/2 hours before the first one accidentally shot himself
dead whilst cleaning his rifle. Duh. In the first 6 months there, more died
this way than to the Somalis. DUH. Your _elite_ (ha ha) special forces raided
the building they thought Aideed was hiding in. Unfortunately for them, it was
actually the local UN HQ. DUH! Not content with this, they raided it again the
week after. You'd have thought they'd have at least recognised it the second
time round. DUH! DUH! DUH!

        At least we didn't get our asses kicked by a little bunch of men
wearing black pajamas carrying AK-47's hiding in the jungle. Our 'pathetic
island' won a long war against communist guerrillas in Borneo while Vietnam was
going on, and the 'world's greatest superpower' got fucked up the ass by one of
the poorest countries on earth. Who's countries pathetic now?

	We fought WWII for 2 years without you, and even then, you only joined
in because the Japanese kicked your ass at Pearl Harbour. If they hadn't joined
the war, you'd just have sat there and played with yourselves. We fought WWI
for 3 years before you got off the fence and decided to get your hands a little
dirty.

>I'll see your pathetic island and raise you a deluded
>imperialist whiners.

	Get your facts straight before you start making noise. It's a good job
most Americans aren't as stupid as you, else you'd have been taken over by
Mexico a long time ago.
