When will the "so called" American army just accept that the Brits are the best and allow us to lead them for

Question

gods sake they cant speak the queens English don't pronounce simple words like tomato correctly and couldn't fox hunt if their lives depended on it! plus they drink ruddy coffee instead of the more civilised tea.

Answer 1

ummm...okay, I will give you that we don't speak the Queens English but, I don't drink coffee, but I do drink tea.
Leading into battle isn't always the best place to be!
My nickname is tomato & like a soft 'a', thank you! I don't care for fox hunts, the poor little creature! But, if you want to hunt to eat, just don't clean them out!
Have a nice day!

Answer 2

First off, if you're going to contest our use of English, you might want to learn how to use commas and apostrophes correctly.

Second, We'll recognize the Brits as a superior military when they stop doddling around and show that they're better than our forces. Last time we fought, however, was 1815 in one of the most embarrassing routing of troops that any nation has ever faced... Of course, I'm sure that the battle of New Orleans (ie ~ 15,000 entrenched British regulars being run off by 4,000 American Militia and 16 cannons) doesn't get mentioned in the Queen's court too often...

Finally, let's compare empires: When we started we were 13 tiny states. We took florida, we took all the land east of the mississippi. We bought HUGE chunks of land from the midwest because Napolean needed the money to continue stomping the Brits a bit longer. Colonists took Texas and later joined the union, bringing California, new Mexico, etc with them. We also have hawaii, and we occupy bases in countries all over the world. Your empire, at the time of America's inception and since: has lost the 13 US colonies, has lost Canada, has lost India, has lost all african holdings, has lost the middle east (after setting up the national borders that caused today's ethnic struggles in the first place), and has lost more or less almost every bit of empire you had. I'd say on the occupation scale, you guys don't have much room to talk at all.

Answer 3

One simple reason, The American Army (I'm not sure where the "so called" comes from) is the best in the world. This is not an opinion this is a fact. I realize that you are just trying to ruffle some feathers but I think that you should come up with a better topic that is not so easy for others to dismiss. Remember the United States Army is the reason that you still speak the Queen's English and not German! And by the way you're welcome.

Answer 4

While I applaud the spunk and esprit de corps of our english brothers I strongly disagree with their contention that the brits are the best. Unlike britian we do not use the open palm salute which indicates prior defeat in battle. We saved your butts in WW II, and I had a blast playing war games with your SAS because while well trained and good competition, we routinely soundly tromped. We can definitely learn a few tricks from each other, but for my dollar I much prefer my own countrymen at my back, and I dont drink coffee, I prefer my Jack Daniels straight!

Answer 5

That type of arrogance lost you the empire.

Speak the queens English? Its my experience that people in the US enunciate English better than most people from the UK, at least if you pull out a dictionary and look at how the words are supposed to be said.

Fox hunt? Sorry we have real game to hunt in the US like grizzly bears, or wild boars.

Let you lead us? We did that once and through your exploitation and arrogance we rebelled against you and made our own country.

Tea? Tea is something I put ice in and drink with my lunch, or something I drink when I have a cold, its not something that I drink with my breakfast.

Answer 6

Wasn't that you who asked this question days or weeks ago?
FOX HUNT? A bunch of drunken sots chasing a terrified fox with inbred dogs on it's trail....then the dogs catch the exhausted fox and tear it to bits while the drunks get drunker and revel in a orgy of debauchery? That's CIVILIZED?
That is where the British army comes from. The WONDERFULLY GALLANT, BRAVE army who couldn't keep a bunch of back woods, 3rd world countries in check and LOST the bloody lot. So much for the GREAT BRITISH EMPIRE! hahahaha Where IS the British (cough, gag) empire now?
Here's to the queen: (___!___)

Answer 7

The "so called" American Army will never accept that the Brits are the best. Whether it is in the past or in modern times, we American soldiers are still on top of the game. Remember WWII? We sent our pilots to help your military before we even entered the war. Then when we entered the war, we had to help save your guys' asses.

Granted, the Brits are our good friends, military or not. I would never try to flaunt the fact that we have more military might. I'm sure that we will almost always be on the same side of any conflict either of our countries engage in.

Answer 8

I'll believe it when the British Army can win a major war without requiring assistance from the U.S.

Why do poofters like you keep trying to stir the pot? You folks would have bloody well starved to death during either of the two World Wars if it hadn't been for support from the other side of the Atlantic.

My advice is for you to sod off, you vacuous, malodorous, coffee-nosed pervert.

Answer 9

Why would we want to speak English like you. There is a reason we separated from England. The same number of troops we have in IRaq is the same number you have in yor total Army. How can you lead us from the back. You guys are about to bail on us in IRaq. Why in the world would we want to fox hunt and I am sorry but coffee gets me through my day in Iraq. We Americans have our country and England has theirs. I thought we settled the issue of being a copy of you long ago in the Revolutionary war. And the America Army can lead itself just fine. Our marines, sailors, airmen and coast guardsmen are good as well.

Answer 10

I could learn to like tea.

Yet I do not believe in hunting animals anymore.

And please, take control of the next offensive in Sadr City or al-Anbar. Maybe fresh eyes can effect a better outcome.

Since we have done most of the dying in this fight anyway, it would be nice to have some more help, but then, your troops are not going to be allowed to help, they are redeploying home because Basra is "Okay", not going to where there is still trouble, like Baghdad.

Going home.

But I never claimed I spoke English.

I speak American, as uncouth and barbaric as that is.
