    no i mean the 6000 soldiers that were sent from france

    Up against the British power, the young United States lacked arms and allies, and so turned towards France. France was not directly interested in the conflict, but saw it as an opportunity to contest British power by supporting a new British opponent. Through negotiations conducted by [ame="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Benjamin_Franklin"]Benjamin Franklin[/ame], France engaged first in covert support of the American cause.

    you dont know much about your own history do you?

    No, the French did actually help us win the Revolutionary War by providing arms and funding, as well as tactical support.

    However you Brits cannot really claim WW II, that was mostly the Soviets. WW I was a combined effort, and Napoleon lost his army in the frozen tundra of Russia.

    If we look at recent conflicts Britain and the US have been involved in many of the same conflicts. So wars that were "exclusively" British are hard to come by. You have the Falklands War, and the revolt in Yemen. Britain withdrew from the latter and won the former.

    Wars that are exclusivley American lately are probably Grenada and Panama.

    You pussies came in and sold a bunch of weapons to the Nazi's for your own personal profit, you didn't win the war. The UK and mainly the Russian's did.

    We know what it takes to win a war and that isn't shooting friendlies, selling weapons to the enemy of our allies, or creating the League Of Nations and then bitching out of joining it ourselves.

    When has the US ever won a war other than their beloved War of Independence, which of course ended in this:

    You lost to the Korean's, you lost to the Viet Cong, and you even lost 3 times to a bunch of peasant Seminoles. There is only one statistic that matters:

    Number Of Buckingham Palace's Burnt Down by Yanks - 0
    Number Of White House's Burnt Down by Brits - 1

    Ruiz......American hero? Since when? Ruiz sucks. If your turd can't beat Ruiz he sucks. He should be embarrassed for fighting him.
