Depends on who you hang with. They are both very popular with military, ex-military, and libertarians over here.

Good, Bob. Now, how widely known are they in America and how widely known in Britain?

Cherie – yes.

Welshcakes – thought you might.

And there are those (individuals) back home that do their utmost within their power to support the troops and keep them fully equipped against all odds.

Who get mistaken for having other agendas because they can’t publicise what they know.

The years (of knowledge) weigh heavy on the mind.

So they choose an outlet where they can to some extent speak about what they know…

It causes confusion with even the closest of friends (always the enigma).

The defence of our nation is sacrosanct!

Cherie – yes.

Jams – couldn’t agree more but whose history?

13th – in the sense of building an empire but not in the sense of Postman Pat and wildflowers on railway cuttings.

Harry – she was but equally loved on both sides.

I must disagree, Britain is a very militaristic nation and always have been. We just do not have the urge to reassert ourselves every single second of the day.

It would help if people were taught history properly.. something that has never, ever been done in this country regardless of the political stripe of the Government

So, the best thing to say is that while we can do our bit back home to sink the villains, at the same time, we should bear in mind what is being done on our behalf over there.

And there are those (individuals) back home that do their utmost within their power to support the troops and keep them fully equipped against all odds.
