The Mirror says that there’s a grafitti war going on between US and British troops in Afghanistan.

I hope it’s not as bad as the article makes it sound.

I found one sample a little odd, though.

“We don’t have a fake monarchy, we don’t have an empire, we don’t obsess over stupid Royals. PS, Prince Charles is a f****** w*****, and all his sons are drug-addicted t**ts.”

My best guess is that the first word is the “f” word with an “ing” at the end. I can’t think of a word for the second one, except “wanker,” which isn’t an insult that a Yank would normally use (but a Brit would). Nor, if my guess is right for the third word, and the missing letters are “w” and “a,” is that one. I wonder if someone is framing us? Or if they’re using Britishisms to be more insulting?

Either way, it’s dismaying and disappointing.
