Subject: US Marines and British Infantry
BRoger    11/5/2004 5:25:59 AM
How does quality of a US Marine compare with that of the standard British Infantry soldier? I ask because I find it interesting that the Black Watch Regiment in Iraq (British infantry) are replacing US Marines in their role near Baghdad.

So your post was supposed to be ironic, trolling or what? There are plenty who don't agree with jamesbaf and his ilk, but, equally, they're not going to be too impressed if you go the other way and start badmouthing British troops. Remember, never argue with an idiot, they'll drag you down to their level and beat you with experience.

You've lost me a bit with BTDT. What does it mean?

I also rather suspect that the Grauniad isn't as bad as you indicate.

Why is this pointless, groundless and generally useless thread still active?

Flamingknives, my post wasn't meant to be either. There has been a high level of America bashing on these forums that many American posters are too polite to reply to. If they don't take to insult's well, then they should keep that xenophobic racist attitude to a minimum. I am not bad mouthing brits in particular, but many Euro's on this sight get all their information of US troops from European media, that makes me skeptical if they are BTDT's. And yes, "the Guardian" is that bad, as it's financed by Euro liberal elites. A little humility on their part would be good.

Is there bollocks.  This is as right wing and pro-American a forum as you are every likely to find.

No I certainly am not kidding.
 
What is this if not a right wing, pro-American forum?
 
If you fear here the American military is not taken seriously, you would have a heart attack if you browse further afield!

The trouble with an open forum, like this one, is that when you reply to one you reply to all. When someone bashes your armed forces, and you bash their's back, you stoop to their level and insult everyone else too. The British Armed Forces are my armed forces, and I do not view your swipe at them favourably. Have a go at jamesbaf, by all means, but don't act like him, else you may get treated like him.
