I was playing some CoD3(at my pals) and I started talkin about England to a guy (it started over a conversation about allied weapons pwning axis weapons) and he talked about how they have an Army and I was like no way dood...they haven't had an army since like ww1.....turns out they have had an army...anyways I ended up gettin the living life pwned outta myself as 3 players on our team happened to be British....It got so bad I looked it up wikipedia.com and found to my own suprise they have one the strongest armies in teh world....I was just wondeing if anyone else ever has learned something frm a video game? I mean I never would have known England has an army if it hadn't of been for a video game...

I thought they had like a small special agents group that attacked other armies and stuff not a whole freakin army!! anyways just wonderin....

I found it funny how some people "learn" from games that you can only reload the M1 Garand after all the rounds are expended.

The United Kingdom fields one of the most highly trained military forces in the world, so yes, we have an army. How else would we have fought during World War's one and two, and every other war that we have fought in?
We have some of the best planes and ships in the world, and we field the most powerful tank on earth.

Yeah, the UK is a tad on the small side, but oh well. I'm happy to know we're well protected over here. ;)

Indeed, the two biggest empires in the 20th century were Japan and the UK. It's nothing to do with size, its how well your population is managed- the bigger the population the harder they are to control and train.

Damn, don't you watch the news. Didn't you notice all the guys with Berets with English Accents in Iraq. Britain was our main ally in that war (which we are losing and will probably lose).

You're joking right, every country has an army or some sort of military force, otherwise they would get invaded. And the UK had a massive empire back in the 19th Century.

Sweden would have conquered Russia if it wouldent have been for the bad timing(winter)

But this thread is funny and it only proves that U.S education is a joke.

BTW anyone seen the videos on youtube" Americans are stupid" where a reporter asks questions by passing people on the streets?

There are about 300 million people in America. So that is 5 times the size of population.

 

That still makes our population pretty big.

From the fact that they invaded Iraq with America?

From the fact that they were majorly involved in both of the World Wars?

The size of a country dosen't really mean if it will have an army or not. And England use to have the best military...then American came along.

You're the kind of pig ignorant American that I hate. It's about time you took your nose out of an internet forum or a video game, and looked up for a few seconds. England, is not the only country in the UK. Far from it. It's about time the Americans stopped calling us English and called us British. The Queen is the Queen of Britain, not just England, and while we have second rate flight equipment, our forces are right up there as the best in the world.braydee1234

Um,

Rhode Island = 1,500 square miles

England = 50,300 square miles 

 

Please tell me you're lying about your age.  No wonder people think the rest of us Americans are dumb.

Most countries have an army. Even Ireland has a decent army and we're a neutral country. I can't believe you didn't know the UK has an army, let alone one of the best.
