Alright, Heinrich. Here is a grievance for you. You have, in the past, attacked Americans as being obese and unable to run. Well, the American military is the most powerful fighting force in the world today. Britain has an acceptable military, to be sure, and historically it has had a strong navy. However, America is simply better. Historically, America has been able to defeat Britain at sea (
look at this). Sure, the Royal Navy may look powerful when it goes up against an armada of Spaniards or Napoleon's finest, but it failed to deliver against a simple, converted merchant vessel. Americans have successfully repulsed every invasion into American territory to ever take place, except for our original invasion against the Native Americans (which succeeded because God was on our side).
On the other hand, look at the history of Britain. First, you were conquered by the Romans. Then, in 1066, England was invaded. Not only was it invaded, it was conquered. And not only was it conquered, it was conquered
BY A FRENCHMAN!!! You fought an entire war over the color of roses, and another one over an ear. Furthermore, England managed to embroil itself in an insane war that lasted
116 YEARS!!! That is something no American would ever make the mistake of doing. Not even the Vietnam War was that protracted.
And let's not forget the times that our armies have clashed. In the Revolutionary War, a group of under-supplied, outgunned patriots managed to defeat (what was assumed to be) one of the greatest armies in the world. Then, not content with being given the bum's rush once, you came back for a second helping and got thrown out again!
My question is this: if we're all so stupid and morbidly obese, how do we always end up kicking your sorry asses?
Revolutionary War: America 1, Britain 0
War of 1812: America 2, Britain 0
Semicolon vs. Soph: Isn't it obvious?
