Who would you pick, Obviously the USA is a very big force, but if they were a smaller country with less people, how would they fair? Canada is said to have the best snipers in the world and the Brits have a very highly trained Navy Army and airforce, tje most highly trained in the world infact. Russia have brute force and Australia seem to pussy out alot of the time. Anyone have any idea?

I believe that what you have just displayed is called...ignorance. Have you ever thought that maybe the US has lost so many more because there are so many more of them there? I understand your logic a bit, but if you have 200,000 men, and are doing the majority of the patrols, fighting, etc etc, you are going to lose more guys.

And i'm sure the Americans could develop a machine gun that fires a million rounds a minute, but you know why they don't? Its downright impractical! No man could fire it, and it would cost a ton to build the ammo for it. It can take 1 round to disable a man, why do you need to put 225,000 in him?

Next up, the US did not join World War I or II because of their policy, called isolationism. Basically, they didn't want to get mixed up in someone else's shit and gain enemies out of it. I forgot though how every year on June 6th, the French celebrate the glorious brave Australians who stormed the beaches. Not saying the aussies didn't do anything, but they certainly didn't have the same impact as the US.

I do however agree with your last statement, armies do change all the time, and that China will be or is already to be considered a major military power.

I think you owe everyone an apology for that comment, disagreeing over the size of militarys all over the world is one thing, but to mock men and women who died for the causes that you and i beleive because of preventable accident is unacceptable... please think before you speak that was extremely rude

hahaha. yea jeez. the 5.56 is fine right now i think. it penetrates well, and out of the new short barreled m4s they cause significant damage. We should start employing more 7.62 weapons though. Only really the seals use them in the mk11 mod 0 (sr-25), the mk14 (m14 EBR), and the mk 43( m60 e4).

i mean our line of 5.56  weapons isnt shabby...

mk18 (10.5" m4 a1 lower)
CQBR (10.5" m4 a2 lower)
mk16 (scar)
and of course the SAW, 249, mk48 whatever you wanna call it.

yea yea i know .556 is standard NATO round and everything, i just think some m4s should be issued with the .65 round in our army.

the beowulf .50 caliber is also quite nice.. fired from an m4, of course.
i know it wont happen overnight (both rounds have been in existence for at least a year or two), but at least acknowledge their superiority to the .556 round in most cases of urban combat.

The US is no good at small scale combat? you wanna ring up that kill/death toll for each side... cuz im pretty sure its skewed slgightly towards our side and the majority of our KIA's are from roadside bombs.

so wait, how much longer do you plan to spend in Iraq? I'm guessing 10 years if you're lucky at this pace.

Oh, so you're pulling out? Huh. My didn't you do a ton of good while you were there. Hold on, so you started a war, then found out you weren't doing jack shit but were instead making the situation worse, so now since you've decided that it was a bad idea in the first place, so you're running away from it only to leave other countries like us to clean up your mess for you. FUCK YOU.

and don't bring up some bullshit about how you guys were protecting the world, or that you were saving the Iraqi people. First of all, if you hadn't started this mess in the first place, we wouldn't have terrorists threatening the whole fucking world. Which pretty much means the US in your American language. Secondly, if you're so keen on helping people, why don't you go on invading North Korea. Or how about protecing Tibet? Maybe send a couple troops to Isreal and Palestine while you're at it. Oh, oh, Darfur might be a good idea too! Hold on, WAHT!??? THEY DON'T HAVE OIL!!?? well fuck that.

You dont think we don't have troops all over the world... and Israel? Yeah, what have we done for them lately (sarcasm)? And when did I fucking say it was the correct political move? You have some serious misconceptions if you think that the marines, soldiers, sailors and airmen that do the actual fighting, and whom I was refering too in my initial post have any say in when and or where we go to war, they get orders, they follow them, end of story. Learn how to fucking read. Did I say anything about going to Iraq being a good idea? And if you want to go into that it goes so much fucking further in depth than just invading for oil and if you think thats theres nothing more to it, then you are more ignorant than all the fiercley conservative people in the South. And sorry to burst your bubble, but every thing in this world is done in order to either make money or gain power. Grow up and deal with it.

well what the hell did you invade it for then.

and your dumbass prez only went over to look good, he probably doesn't give a rats ass about it.

oh ya, guess what. You guys have troops all over the world so that if shit goes down, you can screw it up even more. We, have troops all over the world cleaning your shit up.

Look, I'm not saying they're a 100% evil and bad, but look at it this way:

Us Canadians, we take pride in that we can sew on a Canadian flag on to a bag and travel over the world without getting lynched, killed, or given evil stares. I'd like to see you try that with your flag.

man dont get defensive, you poked fun at an unfortunate situation and there is no harm in apologizing for what you said. I think you owe that at least to the soldiers who died in the accident.

I have and the only time ive ever had trouble is from one stupid fat ugly canadian bitch who couldnt shut up about how much she hated America. The only thing that came from it was no one wanted to talk to her anymore cause she was being a stupid bitch. She did have a canadian flag on her bag and lots of people hated her.

Plus most people were really interested in America and always would ask me questions about our country not tell me how much they hate America.

alright alright I'm sorry I bitched on Americans, I hadn't gotten any sleep that day so I was cranky. I take it back, not all americans are war-loving red necks. I mean a lot of the people doing good in this world are Americans so ya, the back pack things is just a huge stereotype.

Truce?
