“Hard to keep track of all the defeats the Limeys have
suffered since 1776.”

Your post started badly, got confusing in the middle and ended with a a laughable statement as seen above.

Jealous of the UK are you mate? You don’t hide it vey well.

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.

Please, please, don't point out our miserable failings at war. Don't tell him about how we should have gotten involved in WW1 years earlier on the side of right. How we let our military degrade pathetically between the world wars. Don't remark our intelligence blunders that lead to Pearl Harbor. Also, don't bring up or pathetic initial performance against German Panzers in Africa, or how we never fielded good armor for most of that war. I hope you don't mention our lost battles in Korea, or Vietnam, or the massacre of our Marines in Beirut. It would be kind also if you would forget about our anti-insurgency tactics before the "Surge".

Thanks. All the stuff over the last 100 years as a world power is kind of embarrassing. I can't imagine the list of failures some jerk might mention if we had power for 400 years like the British Empire.
