well, judging by this statement your knowledge of the war in the east is rubbish! the british involvement in land operations consisted of marginally important regional conflicts with the japs where poorly trained and poorly equipped indian soldiers were a mainstay. for the really tough operations, the british paid the gurkhas to take care of business. as far as the war in the pacific, the only contribution by the british came late in the war when the british pacific fleet was used to soften up targets on formosa in preparation for the american invasion of okinawa and they were largely ineffective at that. best to actually have a clue what you're talking about before spouting off.
It's either blue cheese with wings or go fuck yer mudda!
