Following the failures of the Boer wars Kipling wrote, "Its a difficult thing to admit it, but as a grown-up nation we should; we’ve had a hell of a beating, it will do us no end of good." Is there a Kipling in Great Britain today? If so, he or she is probably a journalist or blogger, and likely dismissed as a malcontent.
I'm asking the tough question at the USNI Blog today: Was the British military defeated in Iraq?
