BF2S Forums Are you sick of all the anti-american rhetoric in these forums?

Other than the schooling the rest is just opinion, and merits no comment,  I hate American public schools, but the private ones kick ass, on a university level I'd  say Uk/US are about the same. As for us thinking we are superior, if you will note most of the statements regarding such are made in defense against myopic attacks like yours, you would do the same. We don't think we are better, just different, good and bad in all cultures. Funny how the rejects kicked royal ass (couldn't resist, really I love England).

3. My nation is less hated than yours across the world.
4. I can eat health food here easily and cheaply.
5. Im not a fat ass.
6. My country which is small is controlled by one person, your country which is huge is controlled by one person which is thee most rediculus idea ever, that is why you have some of your problems, if you spilt your country up it would be governed alot better.
7. I have lots of nearby countried that have completly different cultures i can enjoy.
8. My country is a member of the EU.
9. My country has a long history that i can enjoy rather than a short 300 year old one.
10. This is just a theory but it would explain why Europe is a nicer place, we sent all our rejects to america.

The main problem here is that it's all opinion.  For example:

Fact (I think): Man for man the U.S. has the most powerful fighting force in the world.
Opinion: And uses it properly.

The first statement can probably be proved (or disproved) mathmatically.  The second must be prefaced with: IMHO.

I disagree with that unless I'm reading it wrong.  I would say "Army for Army", the U.S has the most powerful fighting force in the world due to shear numbers, technology and wealth but "man for man" (i.e if every army had the same equipment/finace/troop numbers etc) I would probably say the Gurkhas.(http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Gurkha).

The American army is very good at standing at a distance, bombing anything and everything but I refuse to believe that when it comes to pure infantry tactics the Americans come anywhere close to being the best.  For a start the Americans have never been able to fight in jungle warefare, Vitenam is proof of this (a war which the Americans lost within the last 30 years and yet all I'm hearing is about a victory that the Dutch and French won for you hundreds of years ago, hmm strange).

Now I know I'm gonna get flamed for this but some of the interviews I've seen with US troops is shocking.  Of course, it would be dumb of me to label them all the same but you do have some people in your army that wouldn't get past the gates of most Western militaries.  One guy, in his interview simply said about his role in Iraq, "I just wanna shoot people, ha ha". 

You also said they did there jobs properly and I hope you were being sarcastic.  Even an eternal optimist would have to concede that the US army has made some diabolical mistakes in its time.  During Gulf War 1, it seemed they had shot down one of their own choppers every week and the recent massacring of 20 odd innocents in Haditha does sound like doing a job properly.

This is further eveidenced by the attitudes of the people they are "protecting".  Now, I don't want to further the US vs UK thing but I can only go by what I know and when you look into what is happening in Iraq, or any other conflict for that matter, the US troops tend to leave the people resentful/distrustful of them whereas the British Army is more often than not liked by the people (I'm not talking about insurgents but the peaceful Iraqi public).  The images of our boys playing football with the Iraqi kids was enlightening.  I urge you to research the public opinion of both armies in Iraq and you'd be suprised considering we're on the same side.....

P.S To the 2 or 3 posts that mentioned how grateful Europe should be for winning WW2 for us, you really need to start looking past you American "cherry-picked" history classes. 

Anyone who says 'without the US, Europe would be speaking German' knows nothing about history or the conflict.  Sure, it ensured an end to the war a lot earlier but even without the US, the war would have still be won, just at a much later date  (the equivelent of the Nazis being a terminally ill patient with the US simply turning off their life support is a good anology).  Also, I find it funny how Americans are quick to boast about their belated entry in the War but seem to forget that their forefathers were highly against it!  USA did not want to go to war and did not want to help Europe, FACT!  Your president even had to tempt Japan into bombing Pearl Harbor just to swing public opinion and even then Roosevelt only when in for economic gain, FACT! 

To those "we saved your ass" guys, look into it properly and you'll soon learn yourself something...
