Well, with those choices, why not? The US needs another empire to crush anyway. No more auld British Empires, Spanish Empires, or Soviet Unions these days.

Another Empire to crush? I'm sorry buying one in a fire sale and driving another into bankrupcy doesn't qualify as "crushing"

If I can keep my guns, dental plans and the Brits manage to not have any say in designing aircraft, I wouldn't mind.

Guns? you can keep the long arms that's no problem. Dental? Well as a galvanised Brit you get your nashers done on the NHS.
Aircraft design? Not sure what the issue is there we haven't had one fall out of the skies for decades.

British designed aircraft are so freaking ugly (since the Spitfire) they fly through a whole forest of ugly trees on take off and get polished by the bangers you guys call dentists. |

There would be a few pre requisites? You'd have to publicly execute 2/3rd of your lawyers. There are enough of parasites as it is.
