Now, Little Old Lady... Had you actually been a military officer rather
than a trolling fuckwit, you'd realise that when the Romans were here,
England didn't exist. And wouldn't for centuries.
"America" didn't kick any asses out of anywhere - with the possible
exception of the native populations of North America. Most of whom were
killed off by disease. The British forces in the early colonies fought
settlers who themselves were largely British, with some Froggies mixed
in. In effect, it was the first American civil war - or more like, the
first "British" one (as opposed to English). One which the British were
decent enough to fight as an away match rather than messing up the old
home turf.
Now, this notion of fighting wars as away matches is a lesson which
America learned, and learned well. That is why they went and fucked over
Vietnam, rather than scrapping with the Russians in California.
