Everyone in the world is completely qualified to criticize the US, but when the shoe is on the other foot.....

It's unworthy to play the victim card, everybody who posts a counter-factual about the United States on these forums gets roundly stomped flat in very short order.

If you have never heard Ozzie Guillen speak, it's almost impossible to understand him. But, he took the White Sox to a world championship.

I once had a Regimental Sergeant Major (that would be at least an an E9 for those Americans out there) who officially spoke English, French and German. The only problem was that he was virtually unintelligible in any of them which made for interesting parades and professional development days. One day he came onto my gun platform and proceeded to give me a severe dressing down in no uncertain terms, yelling so as to attract the TSM and gesticulation wildly about at my cam net, ammo shelter and local defence trenches. I stood at attention and dutifully responded with a "Yes Sir!" during every pause in his tirade and managed to look contrite and serious. After he stormed off with the Troop Sergeant Major in tow, my 2 I/C quietly asked what all that had been about and my response was that I had no idea whatsoever. Still don't over 25-years later.
These days that sort of thing would be recorded on a cell phone and go viral on Youtube.
