That reminds me of a scene from Cheers, when Cliffy says to the British guest (played by John Cleese): "Next time you need help against a major military power like Argentina let us know and we'll bail your butts out of the fire just like we did in the two big ones."

"Next time you need help against a major military power like Argentina let us know and we'll bail your butts out of the fire just like we did in the two big ones."

ya know, the Brit's would have lost 1/3 their fleet to (exploding) Argentine bombs ..... if we had merely told the Argentine Air Force how to fuze the US-porvided bombs for low-level operations.

We er "forgot" to tell them how to do that, (actually, we simply "forgot" to tell the Argentines what the problem was with all their dud bombs when we found they were dropping them from only 50-100 feet altitude) and by doing that, saved the Brit fleet from annihilation.
