Thanks. Don't worry, I am from the UK anyway.
I had a read up on that US Admiral who was very anti British, it said he was but no real reasons. Must have been from his time serving with / on British ships.
And re the "I do not want to get involved in a 'My country did this.... blah de blah de blah.'" I only challenge those who state facts that are wrong or totally out of whack, neither of which applies to you
