It's cute that you guys go on about defeating the Brits when we just didn't want the country that much anyway. Honestly do you really think a few thousand men could have stopped the full might of the largest empire the world has ever seen if it had gotten into full swing?

Um, that is EXACTLY what those few thousand men did! The Empire got its ass kicked and good!

The Empire got is ass kicked by what it regarded as a bunch of fuckin' hillbillies!
Led by this man:
Jesus Christ, you Brits are still so Goddamned primitive that you retain kings and queens and buy'em Rolls-Royces!
How quaint!:
Bunch fuckin' SERFS!
AND.........because you fucking LOST the Revoultionary War and LOST the American Colonies, you LOST access to all the forests which fucked up your navy forever!
You had already completely DENUDED the entire British Isles of any kind of meaningful forests in your vain and arrogant quest for Empire!
And then in 1812 we sank MORE of your fucking aging ships!
Ever hear of the Guerriere?
LOL!

"A quarter-hour of intense gunnery by Constitution, delivered with much superior accuracy, battered Guerriere in the hull and masts. The British frigate's mizzenmast fell over the side, crippling her ability to maneuver. Constitution then moved ahead to rake Guerriere, whose bowsprit caught in the American's mizzen rigging. Firing continued while the two ships were thus tangled, and both sides prepared boarding parties. Marksmen in the mast tops blazed away at exposed personnel, with deadly effect. Many officers and men were thus killed, including Constitution's Marine lieutenant. Others, Captain Dacres among them, were wounded. As the ships separated, Guerriere's foremast collapsed, pulling down the mainmast with it. She was now a "defenseless hulk", and surrendered at 7 PM, when Constitution approached to renew the action after making brief repairs to her modest damages. British casualties were more than five times those of the Americans, and Guerriere was beyond saving. Her surviving crewmen were taken off the next day, she was set afire and soon blew up. Constitition then returned to Boston with her prisoners, arriving on 30 August."
LOL!
You fuckin' LOST TWICE!
The USA also saved your fuckin' pitiful asses in not one but TWO World Wars!
Don't like the USA?
GO FUCK YOURSELF!
