Monty??
Python?

Definitely

 

[jsanders]

We're talking presidents, not war generals, but since you asked, Monty would probably have made a better pres than most on that list

Yeah he would have made a great president.

General Montgomery's 'Racist Masterplan'. Mark Weber. The reputation of Britain's most famous Second World War military commander has suffered a major blow ...

Monty for President

 

[Rich]

Yes as a racist he would have fitted in the US really well

Well it’s actually a little more complicated than either of our post would indicate.
Both Patton and Montgomery thought Eisenhower erred, to fight a projected front. Ultimately they (Patton and Montgomery) were wrong, The war was more or less concluded, or at least hastened by the bombing of German fuel facilities. Lucky for the Allies, The United States had plenty of domestic oil production. I think its easy to look back and say this decision was right and that one was wrong. Certainly without strong cooperation between Briton and The US, Germany would have won the war.
Zeig Hail, huh Rich?

Wasn’t sure how to spell it so I Googled it. Here’s one you’ll love
Zeig Hail

The war was more or less concluded, or at least hastened by the bombing of German fuel facilities.

That's far too simplistic, and only played a small part in the overall picture, the greater part of the war was of course won by the Russians

Your national anthem is also out of date, I'm thinking this line,
land of the free and home of the brave.
Neither of these statements are correct of course, you're not free and since you all but wiped them out there are few braves left.
How about
Land of the capitalist and home of the poor,
Land of gun culture and home of the corrupt,
Land of the church and home of the soulless.

Rich has a good point; the German loss at the battle of Kursk was a turning point greater than Stalingrad. With German armour broken, the Soviet march into the west was all but unstoppable.

Anyway, sorry to interrupt, you were bagging each other’s country.

How about 'up your bum'?

Home of the up your bum,
that might please some, but I suspect most yanks would object
now try again

Oh Ricky, you're such a prick one minute and so silly the next...

Ah yes but I doubt this event appears in US history books, John Wayne and Robert Mitchum couldn't be credited with winning the battle for America

 

[Rich]

How can I be the prick when it was your suggestion????

 

[KenHigg]

You are a prick for making the 'Your national anthem ' remarks deary boy...

 

[Rich]

You are a prick for making the 'Your national anthem ' remarks deary boy...

You mean there's nothing wrong with it as is?

 

[KenHigg]

Hum... Not so much an issue of is there anything wrong with it as there is the issue of your wise cracks...

Perhaps you should focus on fixin' your 'Save the Queen' thing

 

[Rich]

Hum... Not so much an issue of is there anything wrong with it as there is the issue of your wise cracks...

But I just offered some viable alternatives and then put your suggestion into context

Perhaps you should focus on fixin' your 'Save the Queen' thing

Untill she pops her clogs we don't needs to, and when she does we only have to change one word

Land of the church and home of the soulless.

I love it when you accidently reveal your pseudo stance of against the US system not the US people. It simply exposes your callous indifference to other people's feelings.

 

[KenHigg]

...don't needs to,

You hitting the bottle a little early?

Actually I think the quote belongs to GBS, although I could be wrong of course

I don't wants me no pie ma, I'm fixin to go to Dairy Queen.
