Well, the real answer to that question is;FatherTed wrote:

"Which one of 'em has had a chance to pop over to an US Army base, to beg, borrow, or steal some proper kit?"
That's the side that's going to win...
'cause Her Majesty seems too busy worrying about her grandson's wedding, and buying posh fuzzy hats for Her Majesty's Own Knickers Guard & My Little Pony Fusiliers, to be bothered to spend any money on the badasses out of Hereford.
And the USMC is usually so eager to get into the fight, that they forget to bring 90% of their equipment with them when they jump into a fight.
"Um.. I know you're eager to fight.. but.. um.. you realize you showed up to a war in your boxers, a pair of boots, an M-4 in hand, and three thirty round magazines... and not a damn bit more, right?"
(You want to be the first to fight? Join the USMC.
You want to get there with the equipment actually needed for the fight? Join the Army)

Probably because the sneaky bastards are really damn good at "creative acquisitioning" (i.e. stealing shit without getting caught)
"Those are your issue boots? Really? Shit, man.. my Dad wouldn't let me go for a day hike in grade school wearing junk like that."

not this thread again
It would depend on a lot of things. If it were on open ground in a field like most battles were bought those days, even 100 0311s would beat the Red Coats. The Marines could engage from 500 yards away or more whilst the Tories could only open up at around 40 yards IIRC.jord wrote:

Easy pickings, each man only has to hit 100 guys. Most guys carry what, 210 rounds of ammo? Then you have SAWs, Bravos, mortars, etc.
Hell, I'd take on 100,000 Tories with an M134. I like them odds.
And above your tomb, the stars will belong to us.
you should maybe not post

If the US decided to fight Iran, would Iran's military have a chance?

l2math
they would run dry.
You know what? I wish Iran would develop a nuke already so ideas like this will finally fucking die. I'm sure they're tired of being bullied, especially when it comes from people as as devoid of worth as shifty. So tired of the fucking bogeymen.

We should nuke iran first then! I'll press the button

Pakistan has nukes and they were hiding Osama next to their West Point. It doesn't take a genius to deduct that we are either too scared/can't afford wars against major nuclear powers. Gee, I wonder why they are so motivated to make them?Jay wrote:

Oh good god, who the fuck cares about this anyway. It's like asking a quantum physicist what would have happened if someone used a time machine to go back and kill Hitler.-Sh1fty- wrote:

There is already a historical precedent for scenarios like that. Aztecs vs. conquistadors, the Boar wars, Vietnam, Iraq.

The person that asked cared. Apparently I failed at math too
But yeah I'd rather not Hitler be killed early. Who knows what could have happened.
