[QUOTE="imcool, post: 3246863, member: 123794"] Thanks for posting this, these cases go so easily missed. "Ten American pilots flew with units under the coofftopicnd of RAF Fighter Coofftopicnd.... Its good to see that those 10 were awarded with the BoB clasp. And what PB is quite true, you have to look into the Civil war we had here to find out more. Its why the army lost the title Royal, due to many siding with parliament. Also look at the Bill of Rights of 1689. Royal Navy, Royal Air Force British Army "I understand if you don't appreciate us." Though I don't detect a personal dig, I think its unfair to that considering iv stressed quite clearly my opinion is to the contrary. I don't even think the extreme tory would deny benfits of the SR(Special Relationship) But its when we get phrases like, our presence guarantee's your freedom Or, you would all be speaking German if it wasn't for us. That gets our, any nation's back up. When you say "our presence guarantee's your freedom" Statements like this are ill received. We have been holding our own for over 300 years as Great Britain, and longer than that as individual kingdoms, thank you kindly. If you said that to an Israeli then fair enough. ------- Interestingly if you look since after sort of 1812 period, (a war which some Americans still celebrate as a victory ), ever major power vs power war has resulted in either a win for the UK or the USA. -Vietnam -British getting pushed out by the Mahdi So yea mixed relationship, both of helped each other a lot of times in many ways.
