And "parkerizing" for our small arms, the Mosquito (otherwise known as "the wooden wonder") that fought in WWII, Chobham armor for modern MBTs, The Harrier "jump jet" used by the USMC (because unlike the U.S. Army, we own our own CAS), and a fine tradition of military history that is the envy of most nations that could only hope to be as powerful and the English Empire at the height of their power. And Monty Python, because having a rather heavy period and not wanting to bleed all over the seats of a train that has to be caught is an excellent reason to leave the company of Mr. Creosote. Not to mention Tigers don't live in Africa ("must have escaped from the zoo"). Long live the Anglo-Saxons! |
