"Americans trounced the British in two wars and saved them in two others"

... and made a lot of profit out of them in the process...

I'm an Aussie, dickhead. I know what 'boxcutters' are, even though that's what they are normally called here. I have seen the results, as a First Aider, of what happens when one gets accidentally out of control... never mind if one is held to someone's jugular.

You must be pretty brave with one at your throat, no doubt, but then from your remarks, you can have no other person of any significant value to you, who, being held with a sharp blade to THEIR throat would cause YOU any misgivings at all.

You must be a very lonely person in your arrogant ignorance.
