Are we the Best? well we are good at we do, but I think the lack of modern equipment is a draw back. What we get is fairly good but they take so long to get to the troops it normally out of date when it arrives at the sharp end. Then there is lack of support from the Government, they seem to expect miracles with next to nothing and if they don't get them i wonder whose fault it becomes. Then when things get nasty, they don't like to any headlines of out troops being to proficient in there tasks in killing to many of the enemy.

Hahaha " Strong Proud Free todays Canadian Forces "
haha what a joke :P good call mate :wink:

The British army be the best? I would say in terms of soldiering skills they are equal to that of you average Canadian soldier and probably American Marines, I have very little respect for the American Army though. Poor Dress and Department, overweight and I do not appreciate the way they do jump courses in the the states to I nearly died when I got my Yankee wings :evil:

Speaking strictly as a southron, why not "Mamma" or 'Ma' or 'Maw' or why does it matter what what you call your female progenitor as long as you aren't a female progenitor fornicator.

Is the Bitish army the best? I could really start some shit here. But that said and if it matters, most Americans soldiers who know or have worked with British soldiers seem to hold you in high regard. I jumped with some Brit paras during my days in the 82nd airplane gang and they all seemed like good guys and damn fine soldiers. I even shared the chocolate chip cookies my first ex-wife had prepared with them.

I did find the practice of riding each others pack trays out the door a bit disconcerting but hey what teh hell. . .

I do wish that one guy had listened to me when I told him not to have his first try of copenhagen on a c-130 nap of the earth jump in August. Have to admire the guy for not blowing chunks until he hit the ground. He was a pretty green color on the flight.

Look we may be good, but we are to small to be really effective, our weapons and most of our kit is either obsolete or worn out or both. We have to few reserve forces. Now with out the back up and numbers we remain just a good little army and that is all.
