This much is true. But then, so do the French.Originally posted by Alexander's Horse
No, the reason is the Brits are much better at occupation duties than you are. They have centuries of experience with it.
Oh, wait, they're on the other side this time. Never mind.I'd rather have a German division in front of me than a French division behind me.--PattonComment

It was also "trigger happy" American soldiers that saved Europe from self-destruction in World War II.Originally posted by Alexander's Horse

It's not that. It's that they can play soccer with the locals and because they're Brits they will inevitably lose, thereby making the locals feel good.Originally posted by Alexander's Horse
I know what would happen - the Brits would do much better because a. their officers and troops are much better trained and disciplined than yours and b. they are far, far better at managing local politics.
No one likes the silly American games with a million rules. If you tried to explain the rules of American "football" to me, I'd have shot you before you got halfway through.Only feebs vote.Comment

No sorry - that was the Russians.
Don't change the subject. There are so many examples of ill discipline and shoot first.

Oh, AH if only this was true, maybe they would have some respect. It is better to be feared than loved.I'd rather have a German division in front of me than a French division behind me.--PattonComment

Sorry guys, AH is right. I've spoken to veterans of WWII, Korea, Vietnam and GW1 and all of them complained that US soldiers are trigger happy.
I don't know what it is that causes it, but you have been notorious for years for shooting first and thinking later.Only feebs vote.Comment

WW1 - Turned up late after most of the shooting was over.
WW2 - Late again - but honorable mention this time (even though those godless commies did most of the fighting and dying).
Korea - Settled for a draw after throwing away a certain victory (was MacArthur a Cubs fan?)
Vietnam - had ass handed to you.
Grenada - invaded holiday resort, surprising guests.
Panama - ditto
Gulf War One - this one's a win. Marred by the fact that you shot more of your own guys than the enemy did.
Gulf War Two - will tell you when it's finished.
Mixed results?Only feebs vote.Comment

Maybe why the world loves us American men -- we take the initiative.
