and the Royal Marines?

i'll admit the US has better equipment and usually better vehicles (althought the Eurofighter is brill and the challenger 2 tank is unmathced), but UK troops go through longer training. but in the end we're allies, so instead of banging on about whose the best overall (which is hard because we're different), let's compliment each forces diverse skills

@Marnerbanana Well said. And despite what country makes what, we end up selling our technology and buying to/from our allies. Together, it is an unstoppable force to be reckon with.

The Taliban is gonna be taking shit from every angle. America, Canada, Britain, Holland, Israel, ect. And now Pakistan, India, and Afghanistan. I'd say the Taliban didn't think this over to well. If they didn't destroy and suicide bomb their own people they would have much more support in the middle east.

actually balls248 is right, n e of America's allies come here to train alongside us and we send advisors over there to do the same, But we definately dont get trained just by brits. think of it like this the more information u kno about fighting and war and take a little bit from every 1 the better. im a marine but theres a job in the marines where there soul purpose is to go to other countries and learn just like britain and australia etc. But thats wut makes us such good allies

[tupacIzAlive33]

all western armies train together, jus cuz ur dad was here doesnt mean all us troops are trained by british, they always send advisors to one anothers countries because they get experience from their allies, doesnt mean british is better then the US, all nato armies train together
