American military history.?

Question

Why are Americans so thick! And why do they think giving the thumbs down is so hurtful? are they really that shallow minded to think that a non American gives a toss about what Americans think?

Their armed forces one to one are c**p` their technology is matched if not bettered by Europe` And they keep going on about beating britain in 1776 but never mention the fact they were assisted by the professional military of france at the time and Britain was busy elswhere that mattered more than a colony across the Atlantic! and they also fail to realise that britain is only the size of alabama of which they have 50 of them.

And another thing` When will they get it into their heads that Germany was defeated in two world wars before America even woke up to smell the coffee.

Also the only war that Britain abstained from in recent history was Vietnam` and we all know the final score there dont we.

Proceed with the "we saved your *** again" bollox.

Answer 1

ya... our technology is c**p alright. please tell me how many generation 5 aircraft does britain have? i think its somewhere around 0

Answer 2

Let's see...the last time Britain won a war was when they got upset that Argentina was trouncing around on a couple of bird-p**p covered rocks in the South Atlantic.

And didn't the UK used to be called the "British Empire"?  What ever happened with that?

I'm not sure where you get that European military units have better technology.  There was a movement in NATO a few years ago for the Europeans to start pulling their weight militarily since several European countries figured out it was better to have a half-a$$ed military and save some money on R&D (research and development) and production, and let the US fight your battles.

I will say that I've personally worked with British Recce units while in the Balkans and was impressed with their performance and they were a pleasure to work with.  However there was one situation that I found troubling when a rebel leader's body was bought across the border from Serbia (I'm not saying what country we were in) so that Serbian forces wouldn't get it.  The Brits though it'd be entertaining to pose with the body doing all sorts of things before they turned it over to the UN.  Not very professional in my book.

Answer 3

We act that way because our military can kick the c**p out of yours, now where is your sense of humor?

Answer 4

It seems that you are lumping all Americans into one category.

First, most of us say nothing anymore about the revolutionary war... and if we do it is to honor those who fought and died. We all know we had assistance from the french, and there were only 13 colonies at the time of the war, not 50. The brits also had the superior army.

Second, you are obviously lacking in a history education. I have studied both in Europe and the US to receive my doctorate and the world wars were greatly assisted by the US. Yes, the US entered into both wars later than Europe, but the US military and resources were of the utmost importance.

Third, why even bring all this up? I think its really funny that you are actually mad about all this. In truth, all of your statements are pure bollox.

Answer 5

Hmn Interesting points but if I may.....

1.  Why are Americans so think! (?)

  Simply because we don't care aboutinternational opinion 90% of the time.  The other 10% of the time we are doing the dirty jobs that must be done.  (Bosinia being a recent example.)

2. ..their technology is matched if not bettered by Europe....

  There is a reason we are the last world super power who is unaffraid to use our military capabilities.

3....they keep going on about beating britain in 1776 but never mention the fact they were assisted by the professional military of france at the time and Britain was busy elswhere that mattered more than a colony across the Atlantic!....

  Check your sources again.  France did not comit significant number of troops or material until shortly before the defeat of Cornwall and British forces in North America

4.When will they get it into their heads that Germany was defeated in two world wars before America even woke up to smell the coffee...

No one is trying to deminish the service of the Kings troops in World War I/II.  It is true that we were relativly late comers to World War I.  However in World War II it is arguable that the numbers of troops and Material given to the United Kingdom under the Roosevelt doctrine allowed Germany to be defeated.  I would also remind you that Coalition forces (and a large contingent of Yanks) were present in Germany in the Final days of World War I/II.  Perhaps more tellingly, how much material did Great Britian comet to defeating Japan. (hint: Russia/US commimted the majority of fresh supplies)

Answer 6

America perfected the art of gunboat diplomacy and remains the only country to successfully use an atom bomb in warfare.  Our para-military has de-stabilized more third world countries than existed in the British Empire, and we can violate the Geneva Convention with impunity.  Who's your mama?

Answer 7

Step your @#$ up to the table and we will show you some humour and then some.

Answer 8

They like to think their the best at everything. The'll invent a new sport if needs be. Just laugh at their stupidity behind their backs, its what I do.
