An emotive article, but I fear it will only divide the allies and harden the liberal heart bleeding masses. It hits home about the draw down of UK Forces but it is wide of the mark about the people still in. We may not be all 'Star Spangled Banner' in how we go about our work, but by god we believe in the Country and the Queen, it's all we have left.
We do not know what Rules of Engagement/Orders the Guys were using so to say they went with a whimper is crass, also to make the comparison of how the US would do it is also crass. We are taught to think then act, not shoot 1st then think. We do have strict rules of engagement and we follow them, if we are going to go into a testosterone match and the bigger one wins, well see how many US Marines are now in jail for their illegal actions in Iraq compared to ours.
But the last paragraph is so true under the Noo Labour rule
John Bull has been cowed. By a pack of unshaven thugs. And the Britannia that ruled the waves is waving goodbye.
