as an englishman,ive always been amazed why the USA army is issued with guns that quite obviously have bent barrells which dont shoot straight and tend to hit British soldiers.Also they tend to supply tanks and helicopters which for some strange reason dont fire at the enemy,but instead the British soldiers.Strange eh?

Indeed. And when they get those barrels straightened out, maybe they will hit more limeys.
Drake: that was in the 1700's as well as the word is "our" not "are"
Doubles negatives are most unattractive.

Strange question. You guys are one and the same. At least the British were attacked in WW2 and it took a while to get America involved but when they did they understood they were the most powerful nation on Earth. Since then they've bullied everyone they could. That used to be Englands role. For hundreds of years. You stand side by side.
I never hear about Englands role in Vietnam. Filthy scum jumped right in with former enemy Japan for support. Early. Didn't win.The French (Americans love this) couldn't keep their colony either. Then the dopey Americans came in for their bite at the cherry. At least the music was good. They lost too.
So the answer to your question finally, the Yanks were (and are) on drugs. The Brits are well and truly done as a power, the Yanks just allow you Brits to give your "important" views on what they are going to do next. They don't respect you. Why should they old chap?
Drugs have been used in warfare since at least WW1 so don't be upset you Americans. You sell them to other countries and you use them. That's why your military make mistakes. Otherwise they are just stupid. No , that can't be.

Lanc Lad, you seem to have a very selective recall of what your were "educated" about, most likely for sake of convenience. Allow me to retort your points in order of your minutiae:
1, If a military "gets bored" or decides to stop fighting a battle or war, they lose. It's that cut and dried. There is no excuse or name you can give it other than a simple loss or defeat. Example: When prize fighter decides to quit fighting, for whatever reason, he is awarded a defeat. Another example is, If your favorite club team decides it is tired or bored and quits playing with 15 minutes left in the match, they lose. Again, it's that simple. The fact of the matter is, the Americans and British were fighting and reached a stalemate in the war that basically ended in 1815 because the British troops left. They left and therefore stopped fighting and lost that war. The current facts point out that with this "defeat" the Americans continued ahead and without the influence of the Crown. No matter that they had allies or alone, they were victorious.
Secondly, What makes you think the USA is in any way "scared" of the English troops, government, people etc? That really is about the silliest thing you could have said in attempt to seem passionate. Your bragging about being in the EU and having allies all over is nice, but tell me, who are these allies? Your biggest ally is the USA and most others are merely by proxy of this relationship. Otherwise, if the USA decided to go against you, you wouldn't stand a chance. Not against the USA or with any other allies since they wouldn't support you alone. THAT is the painful truth. I will cite further example of fact. I live in a European country in which I KNOW by witness that the English are not held in any high regard whatsoever. Being that I travel for a living, I also have the luxury of knowing this is the case in other countries as well, not only this one. So, these allies you speak of and these cozy relationships are perhaps a figment of your imagination or what you choose to believe from your daily newspaper?
The British empire is no more and has been irrelevant for many many years. All this talk of how lousy the USA is is awfully poor timing seeing that your country is been overrun by Muslims and you have no control over to rising population and influence from those differing cultures you are afraid of. Xenophobia is must feel awfully frustrating when you see such a mighty empire being watered down by something so foreign.
Isn't that the real definition of clumsy?
Maybe you can check out your sources from your professors and their biased education practices, it may be to your benefit to get your head out of the sand before you realize that's all you have left.
Sid, I get the point fully. If you have the power of observation, you'd notice the part where I qualified my reply to "Lanc Lad"

American schools are obviously shite. They seem to think they won a war in 1815 when they didnt. They were infact extremely lucky the British got bored. The rest of the British Army was ready to have a visit to the US of A but the Government decided against. The US would now be under British rule had it happened. You were more than lucky in your war of Independence, and its well known you only won due to French, Dutch and Spanish involvement. Now the British Empire was powerful no doubt but a war against the next 3 biggest emipes on earth was a little hard even for us. We did get close though.
Now the real world history is over lets answer your question. Its because they are scared of us. We are dangerous and the old saying, never trust a Brit, still means something in the US. They are probably panning to take over the world but need to get rid of the one country that could call upon the power to defeat them. We have a commonwealth, are a member of the EU, are friends with most countrys and not just for show like the US. Britain still means power and the US means clumsy.
THERE PARANOID. Dum Dum Deeeeeeeeeeeeer

As an American, I've always wondered why British soldiers keep running in front of a firing M-16A2 rifle or an Abrams M1 tank? Aren't they trained enough to know that they are suppose to get out of the way of a firing weapon? Maybe we should send some American "advisers" over to the British Army to increase their survival rate.

And how many American soldiers died over there to stop the invasion of Hitler, I guess your guns shot straight but couldn't hit nothing. While we're on the subject, France you're welcome for your independence from the Nazis. Thanks for covering our backs now!
