And what if the leadership is British, or Canadian, or Aussie/Kiwi.

Sorry, but imo that’s just inane thinking. I have no problem with UK troops being commanded by a man or woman from another top military force: US, Canada, Australia, NZ, S Africa, France, Germany.

I hope it was implied I was not insulting the common citizens of those nations - just the leadership.
