Oh, yeah jealousy.

Ah, ah, yeah, yeah, that’s what it is!

Laughable? This is laughable. mate:

I forgot to mention that pathetic crawl across the Atlantic
in 1982 to retake the Falklands from a 4rth rate military.

At any rate. welcome to Afghanistan, that land of British defeat,
Soviet collapse and forefront of American unipolarity doctrine.

Your hilarious mate. I wish I could live in the parallel world you come from.

I believe you refer to the British victory against a technologically matched, numerically superior opponent in the Falklands which some US military advisors thought would be impossible?

By the way, kindly explain how we ‘Limeys’ formed the world’s largest Empire. The UK has an unparalled military heritage.

I'm starting to worry about your sanity. Granted, the Argentineans were using D-list troops, but they were excellently sited with weeks to prepare. And their airforce was superb - it was like fighting the IAF, but without the arab military innovation of using human shields.

Meanwhile the British were fighting over an 8000 mile supply line in the coldest livable part of the South Atlantic. The word you're looking for isn't 'pathetic crawl', it's 'tour-de-force'. An amazing feat of arms.
