Some say, it's serious, but not hopeless. Brits say it's hopeless, but not serious.

It's a nice to see respect rather than divisiveness. I mean, there's a place for banter as the post shows. I just get tired of the posturing

This is almost a word for word copy of what Chris Kyle said about Marines so I'm calling bs on this.

I'd ignore anything that self-glorifying POS said. Probably just plagiarised something said by someone else, about someone else.

Christopher Nolan's Dunkirk is basically British Stiff Upper Lip: The Movie.

i have seen spetznaz videos... i would prefer them as the ally personally
RoamingEast
they tend to kill the people they are sent to rescue faster than the enemy. they are a lot of things but highly effective is a toss
Clayman8
Yeah but in the end, the stick always wins.

This is how Brits see themselves, this idea is why brexit happened they felt they were losing that true British cuture to foreign powers.

Ya I know I'll take shit for the comment, but it's the exact same as why Trump was elected.

Yes. Clearly, Field Marshal Haig is about to make yet another gargantuan effort to move his drinks cabinet six inches closer to Berlin.

1/2 I had the opportunity to serve with the Canadian, British, and the Australian Engineers during my first tour in Iraq.

2/2. They were some of the most professional and reliable soldiers I have ever met. Would go to war with them anytime...

I feel like it's one of those things where they swap out the nationalities depending on which country it's being forwarded in.
Wolfyboy
But this is kinda uniquely British in its description
TobySomething
I think i might have seen it about Aussies too.
Wolfyboy
Similar mannerisms and language but not quite. Remove t he word British, ask the commonwealth who this about and we'd all agree the Brits
armeggedonCounselor
All the fucks the country had left to give were bombed out of them in the '40s.

Damn right! Fantastic comrades in arms.... Reminds me of a rugby match in turkey where we we (1)

I've seen this attributed to an American soldier from world war I and world war II and now Iraq
girlcarpenter
i'd believe it most to be from ww2 but it's probably just made up for internet points like most quotes these days
vneoaivin
Yeah, referring to the British as a "strange old race" is a dead giveaway this isn't from the Iraq war. That's some old-timey phrasing.
eddewarde
so waterloo ?
Roland191145
Like the old saying goes; to this day, the British have some of the finest infantry on the planet. Thank God there are so few of them.
Jacxy
And fucking fast too. We're all lying down before a rundown, and once the whistle blows thay are 50m down.

Once you are off the mound they are shooting. By the time you finish your rounds the tea's fucking ready.
ThatGuyWhoThinksEveryoneIsAPineapple
In order to even be accepted for training in the Parachute Regiment you need to run 1.5 miles in 9 minutes and 40 seconds. And that's 1/

before they properly begin training you. 2/2

Footprints nothing, the canucks carved their own path well on par with us brits. Both countries get boots on the ground after all.
Sordiy
I guess you know why they took on most the world and won XD
FEMAcampsarereal
They had the Australians and Canadians doing their dirty work for them?
StormtrooperFKD47
"Most of" They had about 25% of the worlds landmass. Not bad at all, but dont push it too far.
DefinetlyNotObsessed
Last time I saw is was 30%?
Flipdark95
And don't forget being the the first nation to industrialize and mass produce weaponry, ships and infantry on a enormous scale.
bakerdays
We had Royal Marines stay at our barracks one time. They have an awesome game where they get really drunk and pee in each other's mouth, 1/2
bakerdays
That is not a joke, then the next morning motorT was late to pick them up so they humped 14? Miles to the mout town instead of waiting! 2/2
scrim4
TBF, the RMs aren't normal infantry like most countries' Marines, they're low tier SF.
stuckatwork
What's SF?
ThatBritishKid
Special Forces. Like Seal Team 6. Royal Marine Commandos are some of the top tier infantry units in the British Armed Forces.
CatShitTacos
my history teacher said they wore red berets so the enemy would know where they were being shot from. he loved them.
Contundo
Where I live only MPs have red berets Navy sport blue and various army branches have lighter blue vine red gray, assorted green, sand, black
Sordiy

BiggusDickuth
Yup Parachute Regiment, the Germans hated them as they showed no fear.

If this was the case , it would just go against every single principle of millitary plans. Guess only the Brits could come up with this idea

Found the asshole. Not directly because of what was written, but(t) because of where the idea came from.

okay ghengis khan
illpassthanks
I know this probably wasn't the killjoy answer you wanted. But the colour was actually picked out by the first commander of the airborne 1/?
illpassthanks
Division on request of his wife. Most airborne tarts now refer to the rest of the forces as 'Craphats' cause we don't cut about in fancy 1/?
illpassthanks
Hats. But I like the idea of them using it to draw fire. They're too busy thinking highly of themselves to bother with camo & concealment.
CatShitTacos
it may have been vests? he was a captain and did some group training with them as an engineer corp- he was quite fond of them.
anarkhiya
Well fuck they were the masters of artillery for however long. No concealment needed.

Exactly! There's no need to hide from rubble and paste

I remember another war involving the British wearing loud colors and ignoring a need for camouflage.

To turn the entire harbor into a drink.

Approximately 46 tons of it.

46 tons of bricks each brick good for about a year of use

Thats been proven false, it was leaf tea. Brick tea was apparently only used in hard to reach places (Tibetan mountains etc)

In a teapot, if being fancy. But not a kettle. All the kettle is for is heating water/

Kettles for heat, teapot to steep, and in a fucking tea cup, not a fooken mug! We're not animals!
Vydrach
While Spetsnaz is just a name for Russian special forces of any type, the Spetsnaz people think are routinely beaten until they stop-
Vydrach
feeling pain, crawl through blood, literally, and keep one grenade in reserve in case capture is a likelihood.
Thevelorebluemarble
Brits have this aswell, but only on a night out drinking.
FiftyShadesOfArugula
British civilians do this for fun. They call it "going to a soccer game"
backslashecho
You misspelled 'football match'. Signed, an American.
SomeRandomNobhead
See the SAS are smarter, they keep a gold sovereign coin in which they'll bribe an officer in the event of capture, not blow themselves up
misterwit
They can probably also kill the office with the coin in 7 ways before his body hits the ground.
SomeRandomNobhead
ha yeah.
cantstopfire
Whoa calm down there 007
SomeRandomNobhead
While the spetsnaz are pretty fucking hardcore they still can't beat our good ol SAS.
owlest
how do people know which force beats which force?
SomeRandomNobhead
SAS are pretty well known for being the most highly trained elite force in the world, so I'm just going of that basis really.

Every country thinks their SF is the best, or they just fawn over one of the foreign ones. There's no consensus on this and will never be.
