but yeah better the yanks than the germans although the german people do seem ashamed of tehir past where as americans are proud of teh poop storm they have caused by constantly interfereing in other countries matters

oh and america backed the IRA and saw them as freedom fighters and contributed to their cause.

these germans arnt looking to bad an option thinking about it

Where was it you're off on your hols?

But there would probably be fewer friendly fire casualties with a unified command ... and in WW ll, Eisenhower didn't do that bad of a job as Supreme Allied Commander ... and in the Normandy landings, the US had their beaches, the British theirs, no problem. Even Foche did ok in the first war. I think it's all in the cause of military efficiency ... oops, that's a lot like "military intelligence":D ... "America takes controy of UK troops" is not, I don't believe, an accurate reflection of what is contained in the news article. And the British command will probably have lots of input, esp. when British troops are concerned. Like NORAD, for example, the second in command is always a Canadian ... and Canadian fighters operate in Canadian air space.

yes the american army made the decision to tell the british army to jump and they asked how high.

america my well have all the best equpitment but they dont have the brains to organise a war just look at vietnam or how long its taken to beat a few goat hearders.If anything it should be americas army been led by our army infact once we have taught them the difference between an alli and an enemy we coudl probably leave them to it and bring our lads home
