Not only that, like I said, you're missing the point, they had every right to say no and Americans would have understood but they helped out anyway.

I came upon a barroom full of bad Salon pictures in which men with hats on the backs of their heads were wolfing food from a counter. It was the institution of the "free lunch" I had struck. You paid for a drink and got as much as you wanted to eat. For something less than a rupee a day a man can feed himself sumptuously in San Francisco, even though he be a bankrupt. Remember this if ever you are stranded in these parts. ~ Rudyard Kipling, 1891 -

Someone earlier said they had no choice. Au contraire, they could have joined the French, now our official ENEMIES.I'd rather have a German division in front of me than a French division behind me.--PattonComment

As for british weapons.
Have you given up on that dreadful SA-80 yet?Comment

If Britain ever steps out of line, we can expect the same abuse that the French have already recieved, doubled.
Still sending our soldiers out with the SA-80, despite it's flawed nature.Comment

The French and Germans actively worked against the policy. That was a mistake. The French worked against it the most, going so far as to send their Foreign Minister to Africa to lobby against it.

Not only that, but Blair showed he has political balls of steel and is a true leader. He risked the fall of his government over this, which was on a timeline and scope that he had little control over. He gained mucho credibility and respect from our corner. We could see how precarious was his position.
I don't think I will ever forget his rousing speech before parliament. A tour de force.
The UK military also proved that it could keep up with the big boys and brought invaluable skills to the table. I doubt this could be said for any other military in the world. We certainly wouldn't trust it to be so, even if true. France and Germany's armies seem to be a generation behind.Last edited by DanS; April 12, 2003, 21:33.I came upon a barroom full of bad Salon pictures in which men with hats on the backs of their heads were wolfing food from a counter.
