[QUOTE=RainbowStalin;38527563]Ok then you probably won't mind if we take our marines and go home. enjoy afghanistan[/QUOTE] um pretty sure this is just some super patriotic guy taking two videos and just comparing them don't think this was like government made or something lol
This video was made as propaganda to make Americans and the British go to war with each other. this thread is the proof.
I'm the only one that sees the obvious? This is just a mash-up of clips some bias individual put together and added subtitles to! I mean seriously lol. Just like what Soldier32 said.

Just thought I'd leave this here.

Crying? Praying? Pfffhahahahahahhaa pathetic. No class, no balls.
As an american who has done (Army) basic training, and from what I've seen of the British training, I would rather have the british training. Some people probably learn better while being yelled at though I guess [editline]20th November 2012[/editline] [QUOTE=Midas22;38530554]Just thought I'd leave this here.

Really? Bias? Two small squads reacting differently in the same situation. Me: 1 You: 0 apply yourself
You cant really compare the two videos, you don't know the situation behind it very well. You could be dissing the U.S. marines for being in an incredibly bad situation while complimenting the British marines for reacting well to a situation that wasn't really that terrible. I mean, the U.S. Marine had a table and a what looks like shaky building to cover him, the British Marine had a fucking armored vehicle that could probably take more than a few mortars and be fine. On top of that, what happened before the video? I'm not dissing either side, im just saying.
Yelling and shouting has been a staple of American training. Plus it hasn't failed since. If it ain't broke, don't fix it.
How about... they're all badass as fuck and trying to compare two entire branches of two completely different countries is just fucking stupid. [editline]fdasfs[/editline] I mean, don't get me wrong if I had a choice... I'd pick someone from the homeland. But when it comes right down to it, if I were being rescued, i'd be just as thankful to have a royal marine as I would a US marine.

Jesus christ this thread turned into a cockwaving fest quickly, either way they're both groups of very brave individuals trained as the best of the best, no need to say one is better than the other
Let's just both agree, when it comes to when facing the Taliban, we both kick ass.
[QUOTE=Midas22;38530666]Really? Bias? Two small squads reacting differently in the same situation. Me: 1 You: 0 apply yourself[/QUOTE] Well one side is in cover, the other isn't. There's your difference. To be honest both sides sounded as scared as each other to me.
Comparing Special forces to assault infantry, not right. Also the fact that SF forces are based around the mentality of free will, you're going through all this shit because you want to be there, you want to be part of the best and if you can't hack it you're free to go.
Come on guys lets all just agree that these two funnels for disenfranchised or unsalvageable members of society where people play dress up and spend unspeakable amounts of money to kill each other to defend freedoms most people relentlessly abuse or never really take advantage of are both equally regrettable institutions. I think that's a neutral, golden middle we can all get behind.

But in all seriousness, not to tote my horn or anything, I was in the US Marines and when we took over the bases from the UK Royal Marines, I got to say they did an alright job. The one thing I love about them is that they always had a sense of humor. Buncha' good guys, so I got nothing but love and respect for them.
It's like godwins law. If there is a thread about the military, there will always be "that guy".
The guy who temporarily ends the weird teenage pissing contest over who's military is the best by being sarcastic and not even remotely genuine. Followed by the two guys who take it literally? :v: [editline]20th November 2012[/editline] But really, I think Hitler needs to be brought into the discussion.

By looking at his channel, the uploader seems like a wannabe Nazi American from South Africa. k
Does it really matter how they're trained as long as they do their job good?

With all respect to every other country's military, the United States has been in far more recent conflicts and is far more seasoned in battle than anyone else, hands down. I guess that's why the training is a bit more aggressive for U.S Marines, seeing as how they've been the first of any and all military units to be deployed. The training is also shorter because it advances at a quicker pace from what I've heard. That's not to say the UK's training isn't working or isn't productive in the end. Each make men, and each man made has their own ups and downs. Speaking from experience, Officer Candidate School is pretty much the exact same as basic training for the U.S Marines. There is no 'special treatment' for an Officer in training, but I suppose on paper and behind closed doors, there is some sort of hidden respect.
[QUOTE=entertainer89;38526994]I take it an American made this video.[/quote] I don't know what the hell is up with this guy. [IMG]http://i47.tinypic.com/33uz694.jpg[/IMG] [url=https://www.youtube.com/user/Sturmmann/videos?view=0]He's uploaded 14 full episodes of the Young Indiana Jones Chronicles and a '90s History Channel documentary on the story behind Indiana Jones, nine videos belittling the entire British military as being inferior to the United States' (with heavy focus on the Marine Corps), several old movies starring Charlton Heston and Tom Berenger, "Glory" with Matthew Broderick, some Holocaust film about Jews questioning their faith in God...[/url] ...and I don't even know what the fuck this is supposed to be: [media]http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=1s34xpDDgVA&feature=plcp[/media] [editline]21 November 2012[/editline] Oh and he claims to be from South Africa. What an absolutely remarkable human being.
The Australian army training is very similar to the British. Of course, there is a lot of pointless yelling, but if you show initiative and get what is required of you done quickly, you will be treated with at least a little bit of respect (even as a recruit). That being said, the Australian and British troops are some of the best in the world

I've only ever seen one guy lose his shit and break down crying after an IED blast. Also about this whole "they're better than those guys" or w/e. I don't even care about that shit. We're all on the same team.
