He's just pulling your leg Beth, he just doesn't use Smilies.

For reference on who really counts, I look at the 
countries that we fought along side to stop the 
Japanese and Germans with out any fail or 
question. Austrailia, New Zealand, Canada, India 
and the UK are held in my highest regard. The 
occupied low countries that fought with 
determination and resisted while occupied (the 
Dutch for example) are next in my regard.

I'm gladdened to know that the Aussies have some 
diggers and other chaps patrolling the same 
ground that our men are. The same goes for the 
Aussie Airdales and Navy ships that are helping 
in support of the ground ops or other SETO 
related ops. (Is SETO still in effect?)
