Without turning this into an anti-US rant, do you ever wonder why the USA is held in contempt by whole swathes of the world?
Anti-US rants are traditional here on PPRuNe. Check out an American pilot forum, we don't spend our time putting down England. And we don't worry too much about what other nations think of us while they are trying to copy our exceptional success in every area. The waiting list for green cards grows longer every year.
Don't have such an inferiority complex, England has a great history and nobody does a better parade!
