Yup...I agree with Taff.
When attacked , unexpectedly by a hostile military force, the only resistance that is worthwhile is ORGANIZED resistance..
Better to flee and organize in the hills...but the channel Islands, Jersey, Guernsey and Alderney.. are small, not heavily wooded and perhaps any resistance could be too easily hunted down and wiped out.
Often it is better to flee to the "Mother" country and join the fight from there.
I for one..being a student of history..have no qualms about British courage...Dunkirk, Gold, Sword and Juno beaches, El Alemain, the Somme, the square at Waterloo, at the cotton bales in New Orleans and yes, Bunker Hill, Saratoga and Yorktown all tell us of the inate courage of British military..and by inference, their people..
This morning, as I write this, the Brits have a new challenge..many bombs exploding in London.
I don't believe the British will cave in as some of the Euros have...they are made of STRONGER stuff..
Yes; they have their "cave in" crowd, just as we do..but by and large they are not a people lacking for courage..
Now may the terrorists feel the bite of the bulldog....and the bulldog doesn't have "rubber teeth"..
May God bless and guide the UK..!
