      Disagree. The people who coordinated this sort of thing were professionals who knew EXACTLY what they were doing

      We used to be a proper country.

        WW2 supposedly gave us this quote

        The reason the U.S. Navy does so well in wartime is that war is chaos, and the U.S. Navy practices chaos on a daily basis."

        And the cold war gave us the joke that Americans don’t read their manuals.

        Washington’s big tactical play was to murder the Hessians in their sleep during the typical Christmas truce.

        It’s always been a joke of a nation, Trump’s lack of tack just makes it more obvious.
