Brits, jealous of US air powah, bitch about drones, in Brit-like fashion

Some do.  But by & large, Americans tend to hold servicemen/women and military careers in high regard-- I'd say a lot more so than in most other countries.  I don't think Marti's mind can grasp that.  I'd make a Polack joke if I weren't too tired to bother.

I think large parts of the American left still have disdain for service men and women but painted themselves into a corner by playing the "but think about the soldiersoneoneone" card over and over during the Bush administration.

I have a vague recollection of an attempt to debunk.  Can't remember if I found it convincing or not.

I have seen no evidence that you even pay attention to evidence.
