Read this from an American soldier and wondered if any of you had served with the British and your thoughts.
The common American perception is that the Brits are a tough, well disciplined lot. In fact, although it pains us to admit that anyone is better than us at anything, there are a lot of Americans that would concede that the British Army and Royal Marines are the most disciplined fighting force in the world right now.
When I was in the National Guard back in the 90's I had the opportunity to serve with some Brits who went on annual training with us as part of an exchange program. I found both of them to be crack troops that had lots of knowledge and tactical expertise, but I was most impressed with how they viewed us. One of them asked, "Why do you guys make a plan and then at the last second change it?" but later he remarked that although our planning and execution seemed to be chaotic at times, American troops seemed to have the ability to bring it all together and accomplish the mission. I found it to be high praise.
They fought to create an empire till they met some determined Americans.
Our Empire reached its peak long after the war in the colonies.
And then they went on to conquer most of the globe.
And we saved your butts in two WWs. Somewhere in that time, you lost your empire.
Then lost it sometime before WWI.
Maintained most of the empire up to and after WW2 actually. Hence our ability to fight the axis powers alone on multiple fronts in multiple continents.
You denying Americans weren't right there with you...among others?
Only British and our Commonwealth forces fought in North Africa , Europe and Asia after the fall of France etc. British and American forces didn't fight together until a few years into the war.

Actually it wasn't until after WW2, when Britain had been quite throughly exhausted, that the empire fell apart.

I would look at your own dumb policies in conflicts before knocking the Brits, not the brave soldiers but stupid politicians I must add.The British military was great at enslaving other countries while calling it colonization. They were experts at beating and hanging citizens of countries that were defenseless against the empire.
Damn near perfect actually......... right up until WWII.
The Germans gave them a nice wake up call with well deserved ass beating until many countries came in to save them.
Hitler was obviously cruel and inhumane, but the British were not innocent either with the way they treated the countries that were held under colonization. Britain raped many countries of resources, and stomped any resistance at the point of a gun.
