We quite often had exchange officers from the Royal Navy in our Marine Corps squadrons - damn good people - and if you are ever in a scrape, the first people you want on your side are the Brits and Aussies. My condolences - as I am sure the rest of America's - goes out to the families of the Tornado pilots.
(and to Captain Gadget - I am one of those Americans who could never figure out hot tea - or soccer for that matter...)
