The Brits.....

     

 

Our British Brothers today.... 

The past couple weeks we've devoted considerable space to the United States military....from the JCS to the US Rangers.  With each passing day it is clear that, while many support us with their words and their wallets, only the Brits and Turks will put men on the ground.  Putting oneself in "harms way" is what being a brother is all about.  So this week, we'll feature a few links and information on our British brothers, both in the high command and in the field with their SAS.  Thanks for your help, you limys....we're long since forgiven you for burning our capital city in 1814.....and we know you did it only to get us back in the fold...
