Logogus,
I remember clear as day that following 9/11 England played the "Star Spangled Banner" instead of "God Save the Queen" during the changing of the guard at Buckingham Palace. That was the best symbol of friendship I've ever seen. And all the Brits I knew said they would go to war with us - and did.
Then Tony Blair, a Liberal Party Leader, joined with George W. for Iraq - and stayed with us during the surge in '06.
I can't say I agreed with British counsel during the first battle for Fallujah in April '04, but England has stayed with us when no one else has.
I've worked with a few Royal Marine Commandos and we are all Marines together - I'd serve with the Brit's any day and anywhere.
