Lets just agree to disagree.

I think I will quit FR every time I come on here I get an over whelming urge to go out into the street and smack a yank about.

Its a pity because when ever I have worked alongside the yanks in Bosnia, Kosovo, Iraq and West Germany in the old days I always got on with them. Shared the same jokes, beers and same dangers

Problem with this site is that freepers spend all there time looking for articles to post to prove how much they are hated by everyone, or to post article about how much better they are to everyone else.

I need to go on a liberal site just to remind myself why I am right wing and conservative, and not a yank hater.

I know what you mean. I probably shouldn't have risen to the bait and responded to the posting of one, in my opinion ignorant, comment by one British Officer. I think the fact that every bit of American bashing that comes our of Europe, makes headlines on this side of the pond probably makes us a little too sensitive.

My personal experience working with British Navy Units has always been pleasant. I'll always remember throwing back some beers on the HMS Churchill years ago. I remember thinking, "Beer on board, now this is a civilized Navy."
