The most highly decorated "American" in the Vietnam War was British. Units were sent from Britain to Fort Dix. At Fort Dix they "resigned from the British Army and re-enlisted in the US Army". After completing their tour in Vietnam, the returning "GI's" were discharged from US Forces and re-enlisted in the British Army on their return to the UK. This allowed Harold Wilson, (the British Prime Minister), to stand up in Parliament and announce "No British Troops are in Vietnam". Twenty two British Servicemen were killed in action in Vietnam. No direct involvement? Depends on how you read it I guess. But if 22 servicemen died in action in Vietnam, to me that means direct involvement.	Iantech (16386)

Britain did not help the Americans as such because the British public were against it, this was undoubtedly the worst Anglo-American friendship that any British Prime minister and American President has ever had.

1266510	2012-03-25 05:55:00	Might need them to keep the takeover of New Zealand land by you know who investors'.. I'm going to assume you are referring to the American investors, They have bought more chunks of land then the chinese, and their interesters are purely their own and their intention is profit. The US Marines saved our a r s e s in WW11 and don't forget that. . Was that while Russia was winning WW2 and saving the yanks, the british, hell, the entire allied forces and their respective populations. God Bless those Ruskies.	Metla (12)
