@@markscouler2534 The terrain practice started on foot and horses - think Crusades! :-)

Although the British Army has 'inferior ' vehicles to the Yanks, the Taliban fighters couldn't break into a Challenger 2 tank after it shed its tracks. For 8 hours they hit the Tank with everything they had, they smashed all the glass and the optics but they couldn't break into the Tank. The British Squaddie improvises and maximises the equipment hes given. One thing is for sure, the US and the British soldiers are equal when it comes to dying. Respects to them all.

@Margaret Bush Ah ! I bet you're referring to the Boar War. Those Boars gave our troops a bashing, but the ZULUs were a bit of a Handful aswell. So were the Patriot American settlers, the French and those Hoologans in Scotland.....! But aren't we talking about Today ? Being after 1940 when Special forces were being formed.

@@spinynormanbest6410 😃😂😂

Too true

I've never heard this said about my home country's military force. But I must say that I am less than pleased with the marketing and current state of the US military

Ghurka's are amazing. Super loyal. And funny too. I heard the Nazi's feared a rumour that they even ate babies. I heard they encouraged this, when they heard it, lol. Great comment.

Oh... and also? If the Brit's were awful with their empire, as nearly all empires are? Why would the Gurka's freely support us still? Or time in India wasn't simple. Or perfect. But certainly not black & white. Good aspects existed.

Nor did they mention the SRR which is part of special forces and has had women in their ranks for years, they neglect to mention most of the US military is a copy of the British military especially their special forces and use the British SAS as their blueprint and Brits have also help train them from time to time. One thing this didn't take into account is that the Brits don't like to lose wars and don't lose them that often, there's a reason for the 3 lions, the US or any other country under estimate us Brits at their peril.

​@@alanleys As for the Gurkhas, it was during Britains' attempts to invade Nepal from India, that the partnership began. British forces admired the Gurkhas' military abilities and honourable tactics (they put up one hell of a fight), and first recruited Gurkha troops in 1815. The Peace Treaty that ended the war in 1816 enabled the British to officially recruit Nepali Gurkhas - and so began Britain's relationship with Nepal, our 'oldest ally' in Asia. It's an old friendship that stems back over 200 years. Both the British and Gurkhas had upmost respect for each other, and since then we've been recruiting Gurkhas from Nepal to the Royal Gurkha Rifles regiment. I would also like to touch on your comments about The British Empire. Despite your current view, the British Empire did in fact do more good than it did bad, so to say all empires are bad is frankly, wrong. The sole principle governing the British Empire was to promote "Freedom of the people". We did that through colonisation, establishing parliamentary democracies, judiciary systems, economic structure, trade routes, public services, transport links, road networks, defence, infrastructure, freedom of speech, freedom of expression, freedom of religion, freedom of opinion, and so forth. Our methods had roots from the Roman Empire, when they colonised Britain, and built infrastructure, roads, entertainment, food, etc. So yes, the empire had its bad parts, sure; We stole gold from India and various other artefacts from all over the world, many reside in the British Museum to this day. However, we also gave each of those countries democracy, the foundations and values for them to prosper, to grow, and to evolve into vibrant, self-governing economies. We forged much of the world we know today. When people think of the British Empire, they usually bring up the slave trade; We were also involved in the practice, yes, but many forget that we did the MOST of any nation to abolish it. The Royal Navy were actually stationed on the west coast of Africa to intercept and liberate slaves heading to the Americas/Caribbean. They were called the West Africa Squadron, and they liberated an estimated 150,000-200,000 slaves during a period when Britain was the only country to have abolished the trade. To prevent conflict with other nations still practicing the trade, i.e. the US, the British compensated slave owners as a form of mitigation. Many of those liberated started new lives in what is now Sierra Leone, and there is a placard in its capital, Freetown, to this day, in memory of the squadron that liberated many of their ancestors. So, yes, the empire had its bad parts, but it did a whole lot more good for the world, particularly, in forging much of the world we know today :)

It would be interesting to know who has shot the most of their own due to "friendly" fire. I am not sure having the US on your side is always a good thing. They are known for, If it moves Fire!

@@iriscollins7583 I'm a brit and I can agree we will kill any fucker that trys to take our country

My mum couldn't believe what my step-dad had to do during his training for the Royal Marines. To prove it to her, he went and ran a (cross-country) marathon, wearing a backpack full of biscuits, in under 5 hours aged 63. He then went to the shed and made himself a trophy.

Deployed personnel: 11,000 (31 December 2018) Reserve personnel: 45,000+ Active personnel: 196,140 And the training for UK armed forces cannot be summed up with 14 weeks of training. 10 weeks basic training for the navy 32 weeks basic training for royal marines Basic 10 weeks for RAF then another 24 weeks for flight school. 14 weeks basic for the army the X amount extra for their specialization. And that isn't including the army of the common wealth which at times of war we fold in to our ranks as we train them too.

Not true. It is £9.35/$13.25 which is often more expensive than the actual drugs cost on the free market in most cases, and we wont necessarily get the life saving drugs we need if it is something more serious then good luck but it is probably curtains. We also don't get as much medical treatement as we require and often have to spend years waiting for it. Many die while waiting for critical operations on our awful NHS. It is rationed healthcare.

@@margaretnicol3423 nope NHS budget is $211 billion a year. the us population is around 6x that of the uk so that would make it $1.26 trillion us dollars however the us population is much more unhealthy on average than your average brit and it would also most likely cost a trillion dollars just for a start up fee you'd be looking at around 2 trillion a year for an NHS style system in the us.

@@NathansWargames Sure but there's also the contributions from taxes (and wealth tax!). Don't forget that the NHS was started shortly after the war when the country was broke so 'we don't have the money' is a failed argument. It's more 'we don't want to help people'.
