My respect for Queen Elizabeth has nothing to do with royality. It's for all the work she did to help keep up British morale during the Nazi attacks on her homeland.
She and President Ragan worked well together.

And later in 44 when she was 18, became the first female in the royal family to join the military. She was a mechanic. |

Quote HistoryQuoted: I don't know why but I like the Queen of England .... I can envision Brits screaming God save the Queen as they rush into battle .... kinda cool As much as I despise the history of the crown as it concerns Ireland, I like her. She has sand. Endured a bunch of crap over time. The movie with Helen Mirren was an interesting window into her life. Plus we share a birthday. Not the year you dopes. |

Quote HistoryQuoted: I never realized she was so short, those officers all towered over her. My mom went from 5'6" in her prime to 5' in her 80s. I'm guessing the Queen, listed at 5'4", has lost a few inches over the decades. "Queen Elizabeth II has reportedly lost three inches from when she was 25 years old at her coronation in 1953 to 2019, when she was 93 years old.Apr 17, 2021" |

All the "I would never call her Majesty" reminds me of the time someone told Arnold Schwarzenegger, "I would never want to look like you" and he quipped back "Dont worry, you never will."
"I would never call her your Majesty" ....dont worry, you will never have the chance. |

It's going to be interesting to see what China does. Maybe they will send a CSG to sail in the Taiwan straight or send bombers and fighters to fly next to the British CSG OR just sit and do nothing in response. We will find out soon enough.

There are plenty of people stuck at assistant fry cook because they are compelled to "stick it to the man" rather than follow societal norms. We see officers and gentlemen/ladies representing the United States in a professional manner that benefits our international relations. They see it as an opportunity to thumb their nose at someone better than them.

That ship has a massive ski jump on the bow...
How soon before one of those Marines gets ahold of a fast vehicle and decides to go all "Dukes of Hazzard" off that thing? I'm assuming there's no Hellcats or Camaros on a Royal Navy ship, but they'd better lock up anything with wheels... |
