You know, the more I learn about the practices of American manufacturers and their government, the more I wonder why we need friends like that.

You can understand the Gaulist stance, not that I'd trust them either.

You need US because we saved your arse from Hitler and we protected your butts for 40+ from the Soviets. Most importantly the way British forces are shrinking left and right you need a strong ally.

We go attacked by Japan and we could have fought just them. We didn't have to fight Germany, they didn't attack us but we came to help your but out anyway.
Also the aid that Britain recieved was not free, it was paid for in full with the final monetary instalment being paid in 1999 so get off your high horse Westpoint.

Really? how many troops has Britain cut in the last 5years? How many ships has Britain decommissioned in the last 5 years. And you bought jets without cannons to save money for god sakes. And most importantly ho many troops doest Britain have? Answer those questions and you will see Britain is shrinking and without the Tech, money and firepower of the US they would not last long in a major conflict. Our troops are trained too, so I don't know what your trying to say.

Devilwasp, Britain has cut too many troops for its own good,
they have cut ships that are not even 10 years old
they have their �primer� jet without a working cannon why?
To save money.
Their military budget is shrinking each year.
Their tech is not as advanced as the US
they do not have the same amount of "firepower" and they don't have as much money as the US.
All that I said are facts.
In Iraq British troops have to just look out for one city OMFG big deal one city. The US has to look out for the remaining 95 % of Iraq and we have done a good job so far of that.
When Germany declare war on us they could not reach the US with their bombers.
By the time they would have taken Russia and Britain the US would have nuclear weapons and we would have begun bombing Germany and Japan with nukes in 1945.
It would have been at least a year or two before Germany could developed its own nukes and 2 years of drooping nukes will pretty much finish any country.
