Okay I have heard some people say that the British army was better to join then the American because they give better training and etc.

I want your opinions and don't just say your country because you live in it. Honestly decide which one you think is better,

Army sucks hands down.  Its all about the Navy.

I agree with the first half.

can anyone really give a proper answer? are you allowed to join both? otherwise no one can do it without being biased.

I'd say the American army relies too heavily on fire-power, whereas the British army is much more tactical and disciplined.  I'd definitely say the British army is more humanitarian.

British army have always been better trained, occasionally we fall down on equipping our soldiers correctly but mostly you stand a better chance with British training than american

no, although it might be just as dangerous, walking down your gun crime infested streets is not battle testing

No, our chavs occasionally carry knifes and dont have the braincells to use the correctly so dont pose that much of a danger.

the general population has far more intelligence

Thats because Iraqi children carry GUNS and BOMBS.... Thus is it really surprising we are cautious of EVERYONE out there

So you're saying because a few Iraqi children carry weapons that even unarmed children are subject to being brutally beaten and degraded

What do you mean by hero-worship?  Are you referring to the army as a whole, of soldiers individually?

America has a population of 300 million and Britain, a population of 50 million.

You do the math.

America would rape Britain unless Britain pulls out the nukes.

hitlar commanded many many more men than the British...we kicked his ass

numbers dont count when we have intelligence on our side. Our soldiers are better trained, we are an island and therefore its hard to get large amounts of troops onto our land to create a attack base.

...and we have the nukes
