P.S. Do you think we liked watching OUR troops die in a war on behalf of YOU and the REST of Europe?

P.S.S. I think our number of troops who died for YOUR cause far outweighs the number of casualties you have sustained in the Iraq and Afghan war...

U.S. casualties WW2: 500,000.

UK casualties in Iraq and Afghan war: 525! (omg, *gasp*!)

I don't think ANY OF you have earned bitching rights yet. You still have about 499,475 troops left to spare till we are EVEN.

We should roll back time, put the Brits in some of Saddam's detention camps and see how much they would have complained when Bush intervened on Iraq's behalf.

Then, we should remind them of what fascist imperialist scum they were not more than 50 years ago. And THEN we should also inform them that we aren't going to perform anymore joint military research operations with them.

Self-righteous, pretentious little queers. Get off your high horse. This anti-Americanism is getting old and cliche.
