Why is the british army not a patch on the us army?
first thing i have to say is for FRENCH SPANIEL,having read your comments you do know your french history i take it ,not to mention the Spanish history as well,silly comments coming from someone whose nation flag is completely white,enough said to you you jerk,as for the question,forget rumors my friend because that’s all they are,i agree on the equipment but then we have a smaller budget but i disagree about the training but does it really matter,the point is we are allies first and foremost and always will be,in the world of professional soldiers the American armed forces and the British army are as one with one common mission and together we are unbeatable,i read the comments about friendly fire and would remind those who keep bringing it up that the last friendly fire incident involved a British Apache chopper and 9 dead Brit soldiers so friendly fire is not the province of the Americans only,no-one has the monopoly on this subject.
The British military is extremely professional and well eqquipped so the statement is wrong to start with. Better then the US military is all a question of nationality and everyone thinks their military is best and that is called pride. You never know who’s military is really better until you have to fight them and then you find out the hard way; the US and the UK are really 1 and 1. We won the revolution and the War of 1812 we won politically but militarily we lost every major battle and they captured the US capital and most major cities-the Battle of New Orleans the US one major victory was fought after the war had ended but the news had not spread to the units yet-also be pointed out that there was very few regular US Army troops there but almost all Tennessee and other state militias. The British military is a good force and the US is better off having them as a friend then anenemy.
