Who cares...what a pathetic thing to argue about...
It seems to me Americans are trying to claw back some credibility because they failed in the most terrible fashion in Vietnam and in Iraq and the Europeans are trying to prove they're not completely incompetent since the collapse of their Empires...
Yup, found it:
Im just saying, it's easy to say that Germany and Japan would have won had America never joined the shit, but the same can be said with the absence of just about any one of the top nations involved the allied effort. I think the airforce had much to do with winning the war, an airforce that America didn't have. I'm not trying to say that any one nation did more or less during the war, just that it took everything and everyone that was involved, to win a war that could have been lost by either side at any time.
my whole point was to mention Russia, who is sadly overlooked in the West for their contribution to WW2, which in any measure is equal to that of the Americans.
No, it isn't a contest, but instead an ego check to those who believe that the saviors of WW2 were the Yankees.
more narrative correction than anything

The Falklands perhaps...
Because everybody wants to waste their time invading a plot of land with no strategic value.

A war is a war...
Its symbolic anyway...
Besides, are you telling me the US would just ignore the invasion of one of its many small and rather irrelevant islands?
Also, you'll find they give the UK claim to a large part of the Antarctic Shelf...which means Oil...
Not bad for a plot of land with no strategic value.

It seems to be somewhat of a trend, people here the accent, call anyone British a British ***. Of course, this doesn't apply to everyone, but an awful lot of people do.
So its a trend in video game culture?
He must have said it for a reason; something provoked him. If he was gonna call anyone that, he should've left off the added "British".

Nah, honestly it happens to pretty much every British friend I have on live. It usually doesn't happen to the Scottish or Irish lot, admittedly.
What sparks it is usually when we're trying to use tactics in a first person shooter (as sad as it sounds).
