What exactly do you mean 'fought peace'? France was defeated. The allies were simply there to divide up the land. And why is 'sought out Napoleon's former mistresses and seduced them' something to be proud of?

Royal Navy even lost ships to Argentina At Falklands Wars. That would never happen to American Navy.

Britain's problem is the pure amount of hypocrisy. How hard is it to admit we are not number one any more and buckle down and do some real work.
