You think you saved us in ww1 and 2 but you were only in it for two years at the begining. You just take all the credit.
Fuck you all.
America did save your ass. I am concluding my second semester of World War 2 studies, and it is blatantly obvious that without American intervention in the form of materials, troops, and inventions, Britain would not have been able to repel the Nazis.
Britain was fighting a war on their own turf. Their country was being bombed day and night by the Luftwaffe, even though the RAF supposedly possessed greater might. Britain was on the defensive, not the offensive. Without the new, fresh ally of the United States, all of Britain would have been conquered along with the rest of Europe.
At least everyone's smart enough to realize that we've had to save French ass at least twice in the last hundred years... if the Americans dispise anyone, it's the French, not the British. Just look at the number of French jokes in circulation, the number has come down drastically in the last year or so, but they are still popular. Ah well. It goes both ways.
