I feel that while the US does support the UK in other substantial ways - defense technology, business, intelligence etc. this issue is one major failure.Tom Roganhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03828110854474035382noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-279890984740178056.post-73631543954213934222013-03-11T19:39:31.495-04:002013-03-11T19:39:31.495-04:00As a former officer in the British Army, it really...As a former officer in the British Army, it really annoys me what counts as US support.
