My military experience with the British was they stuck around for the fight in South Iraq. Excellent soldiers, excellent leaders and committed to the battle. The Brits and the Canadians always fought the good fight, always inflicted casualties. Other NATO members always buttoned up and retreated. Welcome home soldiers...
