The last time we sent them guns for the Home Guard during WWII, after it was over they dumped them in the ocean!

SUFFER and stew in your own juices!

This is a myth, one I have posted about many times on FR. I am a historian by qualification/trade, have researched this, and the US arms were not thrown into the sea, they were melted down for British war production, in 1944, as they weren’t needed and the Home Guard was being disbanded. The sea myth is complete nonsense. And if you think about it for a second, would make no common sense anyway.
