Incident free my arse - the [Poor language removed] gave the Chinese nuclear plans FFS!!!!!
You know what. You just be glad there is a country out there who is dedicating to protecting your way of life. People like ME who serve their country and get no [Poor language removed] thanks from people who reap the rewards of it.
Remember, Freedom isn't Free.

Well Dylan without wanting to stoke anymore fires, your guys should pay more attention to who they are firing at. I would be glad if your country stayed the [Poor language removed] out of foreign affairs because lets be honest, you haven't solved any problems yet.
I am thankful to the soldiers of my own nation, I couldn't care less about the American soldiers.

World War II for starters Ghost. How the hell did that turn out for America being involved with foreign affairs?

Don't know, ask the innocent Japanese folk who suffered attrocities.
What about Vietnam?
I don't agree with American foreign policy, I feel your country are always looking to play the big man with the guns, but there is no subtlety its just carpet bombing, no prejudice, just whoever is in the way.
The way your idiot president talks about terrorism, its 6 years since 9/11 and [Poor language removed] all has changes, in fact its got worse and you still haven't found Bin Laden, your government is a joke, and the majority of Americans I know think so too.

cough...three years late....[RUNS]
to be fair... Battle of Britain was won, what would have happened is that D Day would have come a year later and the East/ West lines would have been drawn diagonally through France rather than down through Germany... the pace of the Russian advance wouldn't have been any slower apart from the particular areas they prioritised to ensure nicking the technologies before the GIs rolled in. So they'd have rolled all the way through Germany and we'd have met them in Paris having mopped up the remaining meagre resistance at in Northern France (if indeed they didn't capitulate on the fall of Berlin)

Are you a history teacher? Careful with these yanks, little bit sensitive. 
Dare not tell them that most of them descended from our seed.

Oh come on, Dylan, please. This is just emotional jingoistic claptrap. You know perfectly well that most normal Americans couldn't give two cheeseburgers for most other countries in the world apart from when they are told that it directly affects their own way of life. In fact most Americans would be hard put to place most other countries in the world.
(And before someone starts on me about criticizing the country and its population, I like America and its citizens and the comments above are based on my own experience of living there and travelling through all but four or five of the states.)

great sweeping generalisations can rile anyone. if anyone is going to make a comment, try to make it balanced.
imagine for a second you are an american citizen, news stories show anti american extremism in muslim countries, there are attacks at home and abroad, and now a lot of fellow capitalist west citizens are criticisng america for its foreign policy, and objectives in resource rich parts of the world.
Mr_japan overstepped the boundary some months ago on TW, with some of his somewhat 'choice' comments about the holocaust - in light of how that went he promised to think a bit harder and choose his words slightly better in future.
As for WWII, the american help in europe was and is much appreciated, it did allow for a lot of political manouvres, having help so much and lost so many soldiers, who was going to object to the use of 'weapons of mass destruction' (the only country to ever use nuclear weapons against another country - not once - twice) and lets tie in with the economy...

someone said freedom isnt free,
"The amount paid back is nearly double that loaned in 1945 and 1946"

Did teach a little bit of military history, as a secondary duty.
As for neing descended from our seed, don't look at me, I've got an alibi, and I'd appreciate you not starting rumours like that when the missus is about

Sorry my friend. Just trying to lighten the mood. With Blair gone these Americans may well pounce. I'm not up for a bit of friendly fire, if you know what I mean.
And Dylan and Tex? these satirical comments are tongue in cheek and are part of the fabric of some comical tv programmes. As I'm sure you guys have the same thing over there about us Brits.

Whats that got to do with anything...
anyway, Interesting article on the BBC - http://news.bbc.co.uk/2/hi/programmes/from_our_own_correspondent/6711895.stm
Teaching history as it is in a fictional book, talk about foolish,I hope as the write says that this won't catch on because its almost unbelievable that anyone would believe it..... but to make a museum?
How many "GOOD" (read that tx) American men and women have died in Iraq and Afghanistan now?
How many innocent afghanistani's and Iraqi's have died?
How many lives have been ruined?
and, How many more before the madness and the blood lust ends?
