This sums up pretty much everything I hate about US views of other countries in one sentence. I've gotten used to it, and the knowledge that Garlic's joking around means I don't take it seriously, but the fact that many people actually think that's what the UK is like makes me a sad person Bring out the BBC English stereotypes someone.

From my horribly biased view I'd have to say the US marines are less disciplined. We (or at least I) have all been regaled with stories from Iraq where US troops have been killing unarmed civilians left and right, but I have no desire to go into depth on this subject I haven't been in the field of battle myself, so I can't comment first-hand on the skill of the troops. And, like all collections of people, an army is only as good as the individuals that make it up. Not ALL members of a good army are good, and vice versa.
