British Arrogance?? Just off the top of my head a few examples..
Lexington and Concord, Saratoga, Cowpens, Kings Mountain, New Orleans,
Isandlwana, The Somme, Passchendaele, Ypres, Hongkong, Singapore..
Not to mention the whole issue with Bomber Command in WW2..
Forcing the unwilling to fly into sure death, against their will..
Yep, arrogance and contempt for their own rank and file..
And arrogance and contempt for enemies, that leads to disaster..
Oh yeah, Long Part of the British Tradition and History..
Edit: Wasn't going to say it, but the Arrogance is plainly visible
on this page right here.. So I'll add this too.. The whole idea of
"Eugenics" is a British idea, that "lesser humans" should be
eliminated, for the good of the species.. That genes could be
manipulated thru breeding, to produce a superhuman species..
This was adopted by the American New Rich, and put into action
by the "Family Courts" and forced sterilization in the United States..
And Taken to it's final Permutation in Nazi racial ideology..
