[Burter Jr]

US Marines. I'm trying not to be biased here, but it's not working.

[Old Dave]

U.S. Marines 8o

[Super Buu]

Depends on what you mean... Bigger or better trained?

[Burter Jr]

Again, US Marines. I've seen it first hand, and pussied out pretty quick.

While your Royal Marines are busy eating tea and crumpets and playing polo the USMC gets to the killin'. Hoo-rah!


Actually, My dad was a marine so I'm pretty biased too.

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.

[Burter Jr]

You are guilty of it too. Yea, our view of UK is gonna be different then what it is, but do you really think USA is all cheeseburgers and fat people? Think again, trust me.

[Toshiro]

I actully think America is alot of people sitting around getting drunk and thinking of ways to make some thing out of nothing o.O

But, I know it's nothing like that ude to the ammount of people I know over there. And as far as the sterotype of British people can go, personally, you can shove it up your ass ^^

[Burter Jr]

You guys are hypocrites, see? You have this stereotype of people and then bitch because people stereotype you.

[Super Buu]

Oi, don't stereotype me because of what another British guy said, that's stereotyping!

But really, all Americans are just like Homer Simpson, because TV doesn't lie.

Edit: The above was sarcasm, just so I don't get angry replies like the one I posted >_>

[Burter Jr]

In which case, all brits are tea-sipping pansies.

Except William.

[Tobias]

Aw man guys, lets pretend I can post a joke and not start an argument for once.

[Super Buu]

Well in all honesty the topic had it comin'

[Toshiro]

-.-''

I hatz you BJ, and you to SB..

The US Marines are better trained and better equipped. Having more money than everyone else tends to be quite valuable to whichever country... has more money than everyone else. To be fair, though, you should have cited the Special Air Service or something, since they're far more frequently compared to the US Marines even though their purposes aren't identical. The SAS is of a higher caliber than the Royal Marines.

'Sides. It's all about JTF-2, anyway.
