Nato command responsibilities are ALWAYS shared or rotated. Same thing
happened in Bosnia. American troop movements have nothing to do with it.

Or that their navy patrolled the Persian Gulf protecting US ships in
the lead-in to the Iraq invasion?

Whoppie-do. Token presence. Believe it or not, your "contribution" was not
needed.

Or that they are the only country on the planet to have contributed
troops to _every_ UN peacekeeping mission since the UN came into
being?

So YOU were the ones that let the Hez-******** build-up their presence in
Lebanon and attack Israel. Way to go.

Or that they fought in _all_ years of both WWI and WWII? And were
the first to win a major victory against the Germans in WWI while the
yanks were still hiding at home?

Aren't y'all "part" of the British Empire? Why would America immediately get
into a war that didn't affect its own interests. BTW, if American industrial
might didn't supply Britain during it's early fight with Hitler, Britain
wouldn't be speaking English as its first language.

The Canadian reputation stands.

So do crusty, brown-stained shorts.
