I like the friendship the U.K and U.S.A have but just because of a bunch of 10 year olds go round on xbox or playstation making fun of each others nations is ruining morale between the 2 greatest nations in the world.

My friends dad was in the army and he had a really good friendship with an american soldier, An I.E.D killed that american soldier then they were ambushed, my friends dad carried that soldier to the place where he died.

all im saying is america and the uk have an amazing alliance.

if British and american soldiers can get along why can the civilians get along so well ?

.....and let's not forget when accidents do happen, it is often when they have been providing our troops with protection from the enemy. the other hundred times they have done, they've saved our lives, people just don't tend to focus on the positives. we have each others backs, and are willing to die for each other when fighting together anywhere, because that's what allies who believe in the same thing do, and that is why borders don't mean shit.
