Re: your first statement, like they say in sex advice manuals, it's not the size that maters, it's what you do with it (that's what I tell myself anyway). Indonesia has thousands of foot sloggers, but it don't count for much when they aren't as well trained, led, experienced, equipped etc as their ``friends'' to the south. But yeah, I guess they have a large infantry force but it doesn't blow my socks off.
The Yanks have the tech, not doubt about that. And we're more than happy to have a slice of that tech pic (though you bloody Yanks can fling a few Raptors our way!!).
Best trained, yeah the Poms are good, always rated them, but man for man, so are a few others.
There, I have indulged you.
Can I give you some humble advice, you're a newbie, you're learning the ropes, no worries. The whole ``who is the best, we are, no you're not, we are'' thing is sneered at. If you have honest questions, and I have seen that you do, ask away, there are some fellas on this board who really know their stuff and can help you. But stear clear of the bold statements, unless you want to cop some curry.

Dude, take this shit somewhere else. Either the proper forum (Armed Forces) or to the AOL Teen section forum. This topic has been done to death (albeit not here, but in the proper forum).

Cut him some slack. You were as bad as him when you first started posting. Let's hope he can learn to be more sensible in time like you have.
