If you were soldier in a war, which nationals would you like to fight alonside you?

[Saras]

I chose *gasp* Norwegians, now want to change* to someone else (Brits), but you have to admittheir Jaegers make SBS, SEALS and SAS combined look like pansies.

* - cause special forces don't win wars.

--"However, the Spetsnaz kicks ass."

Not if faced with the almighty Saras in Operation Flashpoint .

[Alexander's Horse]

Maybe you should pick a country with a lot of people like China or India.

[notyoueither]

This poll is stupid. Incredibly.

However... Man for man, bullet for bullet, based on combat records from the last hundred years...

Kiwis, Aussies, South Africans and Gurkhas make excellent comrades for Canadians. Keep some of the Brits around, they can be useful for carrying water.

Finns do well too.

[Bkeela]

about kiwis I thought it was a together name for Australians and New Zealanders?

Vetlegion, your ignorance is stunning. Perhaps next time you should hold a poll to determine the contents of your poll.

Bkeela.

As a Brit I'd have to say the former colonies like NZ and Aussie.

The Aussie SAS were kickin' arse in 'Stan just lately...

The worst would be the US - I just don't fancy being shot by my own team!

These aren't isolated incidents either, they happen ALL the time!!! Afghanistan is the latest in a neverending catalogue of blunders stretching way back! In the Gulf War the UK lost more than 50% of it's casualties to US 'friendly fire'!

Even in WWII there was a joke:

'When the Germans bomb, the British run for cover...

'When the British bomb, the Germans run for cover...

'When the Yanks bomb, EVERYONE runs for cover...'



People are dissing the French again...

I surprised all the Americans didn't vote for the French - after all, they saved your asses in the American War of Independence!

[Dry]

Let me think...(we are speaking about stereotypes here, or rumors, not reality, right?)

Germans... too klingon-like
Russians... too canon fodder
Americans... the best and the worst altogether, too 'dice tossing'.
Brits... too... british, my dear, is it not?
Scots ... do they still wear kilts?
French... errr, don't tell them I'm belgian, say I'm err,...swiss!
Italian ... do they have at least ONE fonctionning machine gun?
Japanese... too small: I'll be the tallest of the army, so I'll be the first shot at...
Finns... is skiing a pre-requisit?.
Spanish ... could you just ask them to stop speaking all together, so I hear what the officer is saying...

So, that leave us with... (a little bit more seriously)...
The Israelis. From few friends being there, Israelis' army seems the best compromise between human consideration and military training. They even don't shot their refuznik...
Israelis.

Vetlegion, your ignorance is stunning

thank you, mr encyclopaedia, will work harder

Japanese... too small: I'll be the tallest of the army, so I'll be the first shot at...

[VetLegion]

Finn number one:

Still i can't see where's the stabbing?

Finn number two:

But of course we stabbed the Germans in the back

you did stab them in the back.
I still like you, but its truth.

[Jaakko]

The Krauts had it coming...

[VetLegion]

I hope you cant sleep at night because of the guilt!
