American here, what's the British Army like? I'm bored and reading through information about them but their ranks look stupid and it seems like the only useful unit they have outside of the meme special forces unit is the 16th aaslt.

>their ranks look stupid
What do you mean? They are pretty simple to understand.
Apparently everyone gets a different set of boots
>>30466653
5 boot choices in 2 different styles, things are more uniform when in garrison but when deployed you take whatever is most comfortable.
>>30466447
We're more vehicle based than infantry. Only the retards who can't pass any tests other than basic get put in infantry.
>>30466969
Except in wartime. That really hasn't been true in a decade plus.
The British Army is still a competent fighting force in the 21st and that's an achievement in itself.
Lives up to it's heritage as one of the oldest and greatest Armies in history (to compliment histories greatest Navy ofc).
Full of fucking wankers, run into the ground by idiots

I saved that pic, have a vintage one in return.

I'd rather be a Ranger or an Airborne Infantryman.

Paras make the US ones look like a joke.
>>30466447
That picture just screams hats.
>>30466447
Very well trained.
Very experienced.
Very good technology.
Some platforms need updates soon (most are coming thankfully).
Could have some more men.
Procurement takes for fucking ever.
Great sense of humour.
Absolute fucking shameless thieves of anything not nailed down in allied bases. (They maintain it is only borrowing)
Love bayonets.
Run on tea.

how exactly?
Is there some sort of data or something measurable to go by or is this just going to be like every other thread where everyone is just rooting for their home team?

>like every other thread where everyone is just rooting for their home team?
what do you think. the op is pure fucking bait to begin with.
hide the thread, abandon ship.
>>30468146
The latter, pretty much. The Paras are very well known for having a "We are THE men" type attitude.
To be fair though, they back it up. Those guys are hard motherfuckers.
>>30468146
It's the base tribalism of the poor. They might have slightly higher physical toughness, but that's never won a war.
>>30468180
Not even baiting I'm legitimately curious about the British Army since I never hear much about it
>>30468189
Battle of the bulge ?
>>30468216
Ask specific questions and you will get better answer, asking whats it like is a bit vague.
I was in khandahar with them for a while in 2010, they were okay but not as good as the french or aussies.
