Whippett's 3rd assignment

[Mad Lews]

you may have beaten the Brits 200 years ago - But we whipped your Yankee asses and sent them home again in tears in the war of 1812 - lol! And it was Canadians who pulled the pan out of the fire for you Yanks at Omaha Beach.

I figure that gives us some bragging rights!

Besides - if you insist you speak English, then it should be the language used by the majority of English speakers around the world ***weg***. Now, if you want to concede you speak and write Usian, not English, I'll concede your right to butcher your language any way you see fit!

Hehehe - don't you just love language nazis Rose

Ah to be lectured on arrogance by an Englishman, perhaps that’s a redundancy.

But an Englishman with such a peculiar recall of history? True the diplomats ended your attempt to reclaim the lost colonies back in 1815 but if New Orleans was any indication, you could ill afford a victory.

You dithered about in the 1860s until your erstwhile ally had been thoroughly starved, and beaten.

You trundled to a standstill in the Great War until we yanks threw our weight in.

You begged , and borrowed from us through the early years of the second Great War (BTW Lend/Lease implies repayment) and if we had followed that strutting peacock Monty’s advice we might still be attempting to strike at the Germans ‘soft underbelly’ as our tanks lumbered up the Italian peninsula and attempted to cross the Austrian alps.

Still I suspect your worse sin to be this. You dreamt of Empire and then you retreated without regard for the vacuum you left behind. I’d say you were no better than the French but I’m not that cruel.

As to the story, I’ll review it once I’ve calmed Mr. Lews down.

Respectfully yours,

Mad
