Shooting one another is the national passtime. How many of 'our' boys have been lost to friendly fire because your troops are pepped up and 'speed'? Prey on the poor with no future, train them up, shove a gun in their hands and throw them on the frontline - nice!

Don't even ask any of them where Australia is on the map! They'll tell you it's Iraq
Good point. If you change US for UK it will be also true about "own back yard".

Hardly, considering the number of Brits that leave the UK every year either on holiday or permanently. At least we cover Geography and current affairs in school!

Chocs, it's a volunteer army. No one is forced to join. It's by choice. There was a time they travelled because there was big wealth to be gained colonizing countries, but those days are gone. Or are they? If the UK is such a perfect world, then why do so many Brits leave?
As for troops getting hit by friendly fire, unfortunately the US is at the frontline, put there by an administration that was manipulated by one person, and I don't mean GWB as he was merely a puppet.
Please don't try to paint a rosy picture about the UK. It has its crime. You have police killing innocent people, you have your fair share of murders, shootings, muggings, etc. The UK has it's underbelly as does every other country. If it's so wonderful, then why are you in Dubai? I highly doubt is for the cultural experience.

Get real please. More and more Cops in the UK bear weapons? Why are you lying?
As far as your last statement is concerned, I have a question. Do you know that for a fact? Did you check yourself? Please enlighten us. And women that own a pistol, they are compensating for what? Small Tits, butts, assymetyrical PMS? Please advise.

Hahahaha a 'volunteer' army! Yeah right, is that what they're telling you these days? Hmmm funny how most recruitment drives take place in places where there are no jobs, no prospects etc. LEaving zero choice but to sign up. Puuurlease - wake up!

Hmmm and what do you have to show? Oh wait, crap we're responsible for most of the yankies too, after all the Pilgrim fathers did leave Plymouth in 1620 aboard the Mayflower! Damn it!

Shows how little you know. It seems you don't understand the meaning of volunteer.
Here's another little word - in English - that alot of Brits aren't familiar with - its - DENTIST.
And from my experience alot of Brits seem to be lost. I hear and have heard that so many of them ask people: "Do you know who I am?" Poor dears.
Question: how come when Brits go out with other people and after having eaten it appears that their arse swells up and they have trouble getting their wallet out of their pocket. How is that?
Another question: it also appears that when the check comes Brits discover that they have left their wallet in a desk drawer or in the car. Are they really that forgetful?

No it's just because they are a bunch or drunks

Wow, and here I was thinking that they were just darn cheap and living up to their reputation. And please note, that they were not all drunk. I think they just thought themselves as superior and important, whereas when back in the ol UK they revert back to who they actually are - a no one.
Chocoholic wrote:Oh dear oh dear! Is that all you've got, to roll out the 'all Brits have bad teeth' line - yawn! Like we didn't know that already!
Been on a bad date or two have we love, not quite understanding the meaning of 'going Dutch'? Hmmm must be where that's rubbed off on us.
It's okay, you'll always be the little retarded cousin that everyone's embarrassed by.

I can’t believe.Misery Called Life wrote:Wow you guys are actually arguing.
Gotta agree with Chocoholic on one count, the US military is fielding one of the most heavily medicated fighting forces in the history of war. That means US troops aren't just fighting enemies - they're often fighting their prescriptions too.
US troops have been deemed a liability at times.
There have been proven incidents where adverse drug effects have endangered lives of the marine, his troops, and the lives of civilians unfortunate enough to cross his path.
Everyone is within a rifle distance of risk!
In deploying an all volunteer army to fight two ongoing wars the Pentagon has increasingly relied on prescription drugs to keep it's troops on the front lines.
The US army mental health survey states that 12 % of soldiers in Iraq and 15% in Afghanistan are on prescription drugs for antidepressants, anti anxiety medications and sleeping pills.
In other words 1000's of American troops fighting with the latest in sophisticated weaponry, are taking prescriptions drugs that the Federal Aviation Authority considers too dangerous for commercial pilots!
