""Sixty-four years back takes us to what point in time you prat, my arithmetic produces the year 1945, which would suggest I have been talking about the post-war era, which means that your feelings and opinions about the USA's entry and participation in the Second World War are irrelevant.""

OK friend, so leaving out WW2 which might possibly have given some dubious weight to your argument, for what precise actions of the mighty US of A during those sixty four years should we be eternally grateful?

Korea, Vietnam, Nicaragua, Grenada, Iraq, Afghanistan, and what next, Iran?

Explain what factor in these interferences with the domestic activities of all these countries benefitted the UK, and how.

I'd really like to know what I'm supposed to be grateful for, because I don't think that any of this made me and mine safer, rather the reverse in fact, and I don't relish being told it was done in my name.

NOT SO! I'd prefer that everybody got on with their own business, and left other people alone.

BTW, you can of course call me any name you like on here, but it doesn't enhance the credibility of any argument.
