Britain at the end of the day is a country with about the population of the east coast. I just don't think they have enough young and able bodied people who would be in a position to send in several hundred thousand troops to make up for our failure to send in the right number of troops in the beginning. We have 5 times the population they do.

And don't forget they have troops in Afghanistan. They have more of their amred forces overseas on a percentage basis than we do. We're the ones who needed to send in the right troop number. Britain decided to act as America's steadfast ally, and I think we owe them our gratitude for that, and take responsibility for screwing up and ignoring general shinseki.
