You know full well that in 7 of the “wars” you mention the UK was only a bit-part player. These “wars” were all American adventures. And even in the modest task of maintaining the occupation of Basra the British army retreated with its tail between its legs.
The Malvinas war was won only with US intervention. Without Sidewinder missiles and American intelligence the primitive Harriers would have been blasted out of the sky and then the fleet sunk.
Real armies have real victories which could be achieved only with great bravery and loss of life. In WW1 the Serbian army crushed the Austrians in the first few months of the war. At the end of the war they repeated that feat on the Salonika Front when they brushed aside the Austrians, Germans and Bulgarians. In WW2 the Germans smashed the British and French, but then met another mighty nation which eventually crushed them – the Soviet Union.
Granted the British are good at killing primitive natives who meet British guns with spears. But against modern armies the British are hopeless and they know it.
Unfortunately I don’t have the wealth of the global elite and so cannot choose the date of my departure. But I’ll be glad to leave you and your like in Old Blighty. Britain is bankrupt, financially, morally and culturally – you’re welcome to it, Ian.
