Nothing futile about it. I think I won this argument yesterday. EagleSmack is just squirming now, like a doomed mouse under the cat's paw. The cat just toys with it for a bit until he finishes it off.

You said...
And were dead wrong. No knowledge whatsoever.
1 Frigate Sunk
1 Gunboat Sunk
3 patrol boats
1 Frigate Damaged
No USN losses.
Whereas the Argentinians SANK SEVEN top of the line Royal Navy warships and support ships in the Falkland War.
You guys are terrible.

The USSR and Britain won WWII. They would have won it even had American not joined. It's a well-known fact. Now run along.
The brits were support troops during WWII. And the US fought both the Germans AND the Japanese. The Soviets, like the brits stayed away from the Japanese until they were already finished.
While the brits were brewing tea...
You forgot the three Swedish speedboats.
And at least one of those Iranian rustbuckets that you sank needed around five Yank ships to hit it multiple times before it finally sank under the waves.
The brits sink a WWII Light Cruiser in 1982 and they have the nerve to call a modern frigate a rust bucket.
Argentina put 7 RN ships to the bottom. Argentina! That's pathetic.
No. It can be argued that the US troops were.
As I've pointed out already, US troops made up just one quarter of all Allied troops throughout the whole of the conflict (and they initially numbered just a tenth of the British total) and that quarter of Allied troops which were Yanks could easily have been replaced by troops from other countries.
I'll say again, WWII would not have been won without Britain, but it could still have been won without America.
And we sank nine of theirs and won the war.
Ike was in charge. Monty was under Ike's boot.
Sadly he let Monty off the leash once and he gave us Operation Market Garden. What a disaster.
With US and Commonwealth nations help.
You couldn't even beat the Argentinians on the Malvina's without foreign help.
That cracked me up. Well... Canadians haven't stayed neutral on this one. Read much?
Last couple of pages anyways. I supposed being American, Canadian and British I'm kind of torn on the issue. :lol:
All that hullabaloo from Blackie about having a powerful navy, yet a complete newcomer in Argentina to that sector scuttles half of the Brit forces.
I can't even imagine what the British carnage would look like if they went up against an experienced navy.... England would lose their entire fleet in a matter of hours.
In the grand scheme of things, I'd say that the British naval tradition can be summed-up in this photo
HMS Hood.... One shot from a German destroyer

That's a rarity.
I wouldn't pay you. I wouldn't let anybody as dangerously Left Wing as you get anywhere near power in the greatest nation on Earth.
I'm not of ordinary inteliigence. I'm of super intelligence.
You'll have to excuse me, mate. I'm just so used to see you talk a load of rubbish I naturally assumed that you were still doing it.
In fact, you ARE still doing it. Queen Elizabeth was definitely no Nazi sympathiser. She hated the Germans.
The Queen Mother (whose brother, Captain Fergus Bowes-Lyon, had been killed at 26 fighting at the Battle of Loos in 1915) had an intense dislike of Germans, and this had increased through the scenes of destruction she had witnessed during her visits to the blitzed areas of Britain during WWII
In fact, the Queen Mother (who died on 30th March 2002 aged 101, just under two months after the death of her daughter Princess Margaret) opposed her daughter Princess Elizabeth's marriage to the future Prince Philip in 1947. Here was her daughter, who would one day be monarch, proposing to marry - only two years after the defeat of the Third Reich - a Greek-born Prince of German blood, whose four sisters had all married Germans and whose brothers-in-law had fought for Hitler (although Philip himself fought in the Royal Navy during the war).
Elizabeth called him "the Hun" in private and she thought the marriage risked reminding people that her husband King George VI's family was German in origin, descended from the Hanoverians, and that her own mother-in-law, Queen Mary (Queen Elizabeth II's grandmother), was a German Princess. In the end, with deep misgivings, the King and Queen gave their consent and the marriage went ahead.

I know how to spell intelligence. Don't you worry about that.
The Royal Navy only lost seven ships, not half of them. Britain sent a vast armada of 127 ships to the Falklands during the war. That means Britain lost around 6% of the ships that it sent to the Falklands.

England doens't have a navy of its own. It's not even a country.
Britain has the proudest naval tradition on Earth.
It took several ships several shots to sink the Hood
Seven ships out of the 127 British ships that took part in the conflict.
US troops made up just one quarter of all Allied troops throughout the whole of the conflict (and they initially numbered just a tenth of the British total) and that quarter of Allied troops which were Yanks could easily have been replaced by troops from other countries.
I'll say again, WWII would not have been won without Britain, but it could still have been won without America.
I can't make it any plainer than that.
127 ships that could only manage to sink a handful of Argentinian vessels... How sad

Looks like an armada of garbage scows.
What a coincidence, Britain doesn't have a navy either... What, with all the colonies yearning to leave the UK, I'm pretty certain that Britain isn't a country either
Proud of what exactly?.. Having your various flagships like the Hood driven to the bottom of the sea with one shot?
One shot from the Bismark.... One

Well, it is fair to say that Britain did provide a healthy supply of women-folk to comfort the real warriors from NorAm... That's something I guess
And yet, when I express the opinion that the U.S. should have stayed out of the European war, you screech like a castrated hog.
Go figure.
You don't have to sink them all. The Argies, for example, only sank seven of the 127-ship British taskforce.
It was the armada which kicked Argie off British territory.
Come off it. People are scrabbling to become British colonies once more. Just look at Jamaica.
Britain has a long and proud naval history and tradition. The Royal Navy is the best in the world and will remain that way for decades to come.
That's not what the history books say.
Our British real men were up to their necks in mud and bullets fighting Jerry whilst your lot were shagging around.
You wanted the US to stay out of the European war because you're an anti-Semitic racist who's still angry that the Nazis didn't win the war so they could shovel more Jewish corpses into the furnaces.
