Quote HistoryQuoted: One of my Dad's memories of WWII was meeting the Queen Mother while at a servicemen's club in London. He served as a Radioman First Class in the Navy. He and a buddy were the only two American's in the club and she came right up to them and greeted them. He passed 6 years ago and would have been 100 years old today. |

You know those junior Marines on that ship spent the last 96 hours field daying the entire foreign ship because they were told the Queen was going to do a white-glove inspection of their living quarters.

 Beijing has already warned the UK would take "necessary measures to safeguard its sovereignty" ahead of the mission. The £3billion HMS Queen Elizabeth is being deployed to conduct freedom of navigation patrols with the US and Japanese navies. And as the huge ship prepares to sail, China is reported to have brought its newest carrier-killing missile fully into operation. The DF-17 can perform “extreme manoeuvers” as it hurtles at Mach 10 - some 7,600mph - towards a target, with carrier unlikely to survive a direct hit. China has also previously warned any UK or US challenge of sovereignty would be seen a "hostile action", and its forces are ready to "act at any second" amid the tensions. “At the absolute minimum it would end its mission - but in all probability sink it,” Sidharth Kaushal, from the Royal United Services Institute, told The Sun Online. Its relatively low cost means the Chinese military can fire scores of them if a first attempt fails, the naval warfare expert said. South China Sea dispute expert Bill Hayton told The Sun Online that China is expected to ramp up its rhetoric as UK vessels enter the “volatile” disputed waters. And while its unlikely the mission will cause a direct clash, it was warned there is always the threat of a "misunderstanding" and the voyage will be a "test of discipline" for both sides. Big Lizzie - as she's been nicknamed - will be accompanied by escort ships and will carry 24 of the latest F-35B fighters. Continued |

I am not Jewish but I still any rabbi I meet "rabbi."
I call any pastor I meet pastor even though I am not of their faith. I do not believe in royalty but would still call the queen by the proper protocol. Having proper decorum is not a sin or a sign of weakness. |

Quote HistoryQuoted: This. I show deference to no man or woman. Quote HistoryQuoted: Quoted: I don't think I could address her as 'majesty'. This. I show deference to no man or woman. If you show deference to no other person, you must have no respect for them, no principles, or both. Some people command respect- the very air about them draws others to follow them. Other people demand respect- they are the "leaders" who do not have the natural influence and demeanor to lead. If you show no deference to anyone, it would beg the question of whether you are simply ignorant, myopic, or so self centered that you believe no one else matters or deserves your respect. It sets off alarm bells for those around you. If you ever get drafted let us know how that refusal to show deference works out for you.

So much edge in this thread...
She's 95 years old and more functional than the dude occupying the White House. She loves her country and her people, they are slaves no more -- nor have they been for a long ass time. When WWII broke out she could have sat back and been a princess enjoying life away from it all. Instead she argued against her parents to be the first royal female to join the military at 19. She joined the their equivalent of our Women's Army Corps. Basically she was a mechanic that kept the wheels turning, literally. She isn't perfect but who are we do judge? Look at the cast of mouth breathers. |
