Please don't, LOL.
Yes, yes, let's all be peaceful about it.
And Britain had a true leader in WWII with Winston Churchill at the helm and not Neville Chamberlain...
Peace through strength....
Excellent point.
LOL, but you get my point.
Britain should be treated with the same standards as the USA treats itself.
These people, and by that I mean the aforesaid sailors and marines, are being boo-fooed (or, in American vernacular, cornholed), by the very people who were charged with looking out for them.
Accordingly, I believe that the British powers that be should rechristen the HMS Cornwall as the HMS Cornhole. They will, of course, ignore this. As they are also ignoring their responsibility to their troops.
Yo, Britannia!!! Grow a set!!!
You pathetic effeminate weenies can have a peaceful resolution. Simply submit. You are dealing with men (albeit murderous men) not your own limp wristed kind.
That's a good point but, in that case, we had landed on Chinese soil so some diplomacy was in order.
Save for the BBC, the UN and Rosie O'Donnell, no one is in any doubt that the Brits were seized outside of Iran, which makes it no different than if they were seized on the English Channel.
Wrong. The Canadian Army was only battle-ready division in England, the RCAF was engaged in the Battle of Britain and in the bombing campaign, the RCN was fighting U-boats in the North Atlantic, Canadian factories were arming the British military, and Canadian farms were feeding the British people.
