Well, they have a history of serving British colonialism: ""Britain is to provide military advice to the Egyptian government to help
it crack down on militants in the Sinai Peninsula who are destabilising
relations with neighbouring Israel. In his first meeting with the Egyptian president Mohammed Morsi in New
York, David Cameron will announce that Britain's most senior military figure
will travel to Cairo. General Sir David Richards, the chief of the defence
staff, will lead a British effort that will also see a stabilisation team
despatched to Egypt...." (thanks Nu`man)
