The British Empire Conned The Elite British?
    #10926724 - 08/24/09 01:09 PM (14 years, 5 months ago)

If you ever watch the disney cartoon called Robin Hood you will see that one of the elements in the story is that the real King of England, King Richard, is fighting in crusades while the evil Prince John rules England.

I think the british empire was like this. It seems to me that the true patriots of england were sent overseas to die for the empire while spineless sycophants ruled England in their place.

umm..I think the common perspective is to escape the cold damp climate in favor of adventure in the balmy climates..At least that's what I get from the brochures. I'll leave the job of forwarding the taxes levied to cousin John (the one with the limp).

Whatever the argument for a war, it isn't only a means of culling the excess product of our loins but also an adventure for the comfortably ensconced, I think.

Yea it's not like the Kings and Generals ever had a chance of dieing. I doubt they were on the front lines.

I agree. But I don't think the title of this thread is appropriate.

And also, people have always been sent to die for their lords. The fact that the British sent troops so far away from home is irrelevant here. & Other European countries did this too.
