"Ours has always been an army like no other, because our soldiers reflect a society unlike any other. They are pitiless when confronted by armed enemy fighters and yet full of compassion for civilians and even defeated enemies."
Says it all!

Ping, and the wonderful ending to great post...
One of the young soldiers had received a care package and was sharing the home-baked cookies with his friends. A photographer with a heavy French accent asked if he could have one. The soldier looked him over and said there would be no cookies for Frenchmen. The photographer then protested that he was half Italian. Without missing a beat, the soldier broke a cookie in half and gave it to him. It was a perfect moment and a perfect reflection of the American soldier.

No society except America could have produced them. And since much of our society is based on British customs and ways, it makes sense that the Brits, along with the Aussies, produce much the same soldier. The AngloAmerican way.
