I’m sorry that you had a few rude comments about your government when you visited the UK and Ireland. I will say that I’m very surprised at this as I have met several Americans in the UK and they hadn’t had a bad word said to them. I’ve been to areas of the US where I have been given very rude service, but I take that for what it is- one of those things. I will also say that I’m a big fan of Ausralia, but I must say that I have always believed Americans to be more impressed by actions than words. The UK is the only ally of the US facing heavy combat on the front lines of the WoT.
Thank you for one of the best posts I have read on FR.
The modern ignorance on both sides of the Atlantic is a sad and dangerous trend.It can only improve I suppose.
And you need not ‘ask for a little credit’. Those of us who know and respect history know the immense sacrifice of your nation and thank you for it.
