I don't get what all the fuss is about. Israel kicked ass in a bunch of wars, and expanded their borders. They've been sending in settlers to build new cities. Isn't this how things are supposed to work? Win a war, take territory, settle your own people in the territory. It's how the US and Canada were formed. I mean technically there should be some sort of ethnic cleansing or enslavement of the conquered peoples, but I understand if the Israelis are concerned about the PR trouble that causes. So what's all the fuss about?

Meh, all British officers, British ships, and mostly British troops with Canadians just making up the colonial militia and the camp followers. Nothing against camp followers as every Army needs hookers and washer women. You still did piss poor in that war though. The three prong attack plan called for an overland invasion from Canada (which was a disaster for the British with their Indian allies practically wiped out but worse the US got the jump on them and invaded Canada before the British were ready burning down Toronto so the British just settled on defending in that theater), invading at the Carolinas (total failure), and then invading at New Orleans (total disaster for the British). The royal navy even got the piss beat out of it, suffering humiliating defeat after humiliating defeat and even even issuing an order not to engage American frigates unless you outnumber them 3:1, and about the only bright spot for them was that after losing in the Carolinas they decided to stop off and burn an empty and half finished city on the Potomac. I mean that's really the best you can come up with?Try http://wordforge.net/index.php for discussion and debate.

It used to be that white people were proud of killing brown people. Winston Churchill even once said, "I love whiskey, cigars, and killing the **** out of brown people." It wasn't in any of his famous speeches, but it's the sort of thing he was apt to say in private conversation.
Sometimes, when us white folk ran out of sporting brown people to kill, we'd kill each other. But if World War I and II taught us anything, it's that killing brown people is much safer than killing white people.
