Who's the best armed service American or the English and why?

Answer 1

The quiet heroes who save lives and defend freedom, and do it for the Grace of G-d and every other human being against the forces of evil.

Answer 2

British!

Why? Well the Americans have yet to be tried in a really hard fight on their own and when they do they simply lose. Cambodia, Nam, Iraq, Afghan all things done 100% US and the best probably is Korea which was a draw. They have yet to fully and utterly crush an enemy like the European Empires were capable of. instead the Yankees are good at destroying everything visible on the surface and leaving the enemy forces still very much alive underground.

Answer 3

As an ex member of the British special forces, I would have to say that for its size the British army is the best in the world. The US never had any special forces until the early 60s, and we helped train their Delta force. I am beginning to wonder about the Royal navy and air force and even parts of the army. I am sorry to say this but the downhill slide began when they allowed so many females into the services. Who can forget the image of that fat navy woman on the Iranian boat, sat there smoking, what a disgrace. I got to know a lot of Americans when we were training them and you couldn't meet more decent people.

Answer 4

Hi there.
It is still the English right now. The effectiveness of your armed service relies on the quality of your soldiers and the Brits are still on average better educated and better team workers. The Americans are indeed prone to shoot at anything, but this is more to do with poor training and stupidity than aggression.
Cheers, Steve.

Answer 5

Considering the fact that pretty much every country sends THEIR Special Forces to be trained by OURS - I`d say the British have the best Armed Services - most every other is a copy of ours.

Answer 6

It is said the British Armed Forces are the best in world, the most highly trained. Although the yanks can boast about their enormous military budget, its not quantity but quality that counts.

Whenever there has been a military foul up and friendlies are killed its because the yanks totally mess it up, and if there don't kill their own side its British troops killed instead. I haven't heard of an incident where the Brits have messed up and killed US troops by mistake. Have you?

Answer 7

Well Tim, it's got to be the English (or Brit, depends where you're from).

We have the best school for Officers in the World (Sandhurst).

Lets face it, our enemies come here to learn how to beat us!!

We are a warrior race with the best mix of all the fighting forces over the last 2000 years in our blood.

America?

Well, they're our cast offs aren't they.

That said, putting a coke machine on a battle front is a nice touch.

Answer 8

The British Armed forces are the best trained in the world, their skill base is superior as are our training regimes. The American forces use our people to train their own, there are UK training officers based on the majority of American bases

Answer 9

There is no English armed service because the members of the armed forces are drawn from all of the British Isles.

Answer 10

British is the best trained

The british undergo the most arduous training of all & are people that want to be there not reservists who have to attend.
British is about training where as American is about numbers.
Yes the Americans have the money, kit & numbers but the Brits have the better trained soldiers & use rules correctly.
Americans are too gun ho

Answer 11

you are describing a father son relationship. neither would be the same without each other. both are interdependant on each other....much more than most think. the world is a worse place without britain/america because despite all the critisism there are some evil regimes out there who need to be toppled. to anser you question though, america has a much bigger. expensive armed force, but, britain as a nation is equivalent to real madrid in terms of history and quality.
