>We aren't really warriors

You have the biggest military in the world. I don't expect it to be filled with clones of Milhouse from the simpsons. The fact is, Britain isn't just going to hand itself over to you on a dinner platter.

We're a military-industrial nation, which isn't the same as a warrior nation. What I mean is we have a much more awkward relationship with war than your traditional warrior nation should. We're uncomfortable with the idea that we achieve things militarily. It's a trait we got from our British heritage really. We'll find excuses and fight our wars, but the concept of war itself is something we somehow look down on as base and lawless. Anglo-culture is the one that invented the hippy, for instance. That's not a trait you see in places like Ancient Rome or Japan. 

And what I am saying is that you already handed yourself over. It is done. The days of Rule Britannia are over and replaced with the days of "America, what are we going to do today?"
