Thanks for your comments

Im not going to reply to the comments here critising the uk military efforts,. The people making those comments are understandably annoyed by the report, although i certainly hope people do not believe the troops took basra methodically outof fear!!. However our press is often making up stupid stories such as this, people in the uk generally have learnt to ignore most of these reports with a pinch of salt.

Instead to show the true relationship between the forces working out there ill simply post one comment by a serving USMarine and one by a serving royal marine. It is these people i prefer to take at their word

I left New Delhi feeling very impressed by the US Marines. They were incredibly friendly and they did exude confidence, decency and efficacy.

My limited time with them was one of the reasons I applied to the Royal Marines.

I look forward to working with the USMC in the future.

The article was posted not as an attack on the British army, but on a newspaper that presents itself as conservative but repeatedly prints attacks on the American troops. No American newspaper has printed such drivel about the British troops. Class shows, doesn't it?
