Note, I'm not British, so i may be wrong on a few things but this is mostly common knowledge
The American army, is alot bigger than the British army and alot more Advanced, but there infantry and special forces aren't as well-trained as their british counterparts.
British infantry go through longer and tougher training than the Americans, they cover alot more Ways of fighting such as Bayonett fighting and they train hand-to-hand combat alot longer than the Americans, British soldiers are also trained Good formations and are alot stricter.
American soldiers train for a shorter time and there training is generally not as tough as the British, they are trained with better equitment whereas the british are trained to make do with the Bare minimium in some exersises, American soldiers do not require much training since they have better tech.
In a war, there is no doubt who would win on a ground fight, the British, they'd most likely dominate the American group forces, but with American technology, they'd likely push back the British with their heavy armor and Predator missiles. The British army is trained in Many Formations designed to take out better tech, if a war was to break out, which is probably wont, it'd basically just be one Long stalemate until either side Signs a treaty, or surrenders.
The SAS is the most feared fighting force in the world aswell as the most elite, infact when the Americans witnessed the SAS in combat, they were so impressed they returned and formed Delta force.
American Special forces, again are not as well-trained as the SAS, this is also due to better tech. |

Training doesn't quite matter when you are being bombarded by the most advanced Air Force in the world.
Even if we're not considering that, training doesn't make too much a difference. At the point you are being shot at and the only option is to kill or be killed, the only think that will save you is your will to survive. |

| Training gives you the know-how on fighting, as in, where is the best place to fire from, your reflexes, your awareness, training is everything, if it wasn't then whats the point of training our armies? |

Learning formations isn't much of a necessity, bayonet fighting is irrelevant in modern warfare, US soldiers receive pretty adequate training, and then are field hardened.
Training is just a primer for what's to come. It isn't necessary to blatantly torture your troops to make them better warriors when they will just be picked off within a few minutes of their first combat, or decimated by a carpet bombing.
I'd say the US power is their interconnected strength; the fact that the infantry, air, and navy are all bonded to cooperate effectively to destroy enemies with superior training, numbers, and possibly even firepower. |

| British infantry go through regular exersice that are similar to battles, such as nightfighting using blank rounds, open fighting and industrial fighting, the British are more battle-hardened than the Americans, and you act like the British don't have a Navy or an airforce, the combined strength of the british training in naval war, and air war aswell as ground fighting can be compared to the AMerican tech/ |

| Also bayonett fighting is relevent to industrial warfare, as in, fighting in close quarters in buildings, a Bayonett can be very useful, It's a shame my country doesn't have a Military though... |

Also,
The Zulus massacred the British at Islandwhala. (I can never spell that place right..)
However, the better trained troops can form good formations, in a way, get the upper hand in battle.
Formation such as Arrowhead, Square, Wedge, etc, can defend, possibly end your enemy.
The square is a good formation as is keeps away cavalry.

| No tech isn't important, technology can hold back the soldiers, but formations and better-trained soldiers can destroy better-armed forces, How do you explain the Korean war? The UN wasn't as well-armed the the Communists, but we still wom due to better training. |

All of these support that the British army has better-trained soldiers and Generally better soldiers than the American
And America couldn't defeat Britain in one day America's infantry aren't very well trained. they go through 9 weeks of training, Now-a-days british infantry go through 30 weeks of training. |

Our air force, better train than the americans Our naval forces, better trained than the Americans Our ground forces, better trained than the Americans
UK news scources aren't biased, unlike American news scources, Yahoo awnsers shows the Public opinion and How it's general Knowledge The words of an American soldier right there.
Better tech is great but it's no diffrent from British tech when your soldiers don't know how to use it Properly |

| Becuase we have free media, those reports are based on eye witness accounts, unlike American media where it's practically state-owned and biased |

| Theking, your utterly pathetic and riduclously stupid, America wouldn't dare fire a nuke at britain because then not only would you have britain fireing nukes at you, but the rest of the world declaring war on you, this just proves how little you know about Military, your a little 11 year old who gets his education from CoD, your Army is based entirely around technology, your Army definetly isn't the 2nd best trained, nor is your navy or air-force. |

| Yes it does, for one, America wouldn't deploy all the soldiers, two America wouldn;t fire nukes because then the rest of the world would turn on you, two, Britain has allies willing to die for it, if you declared war there'dbe a law claiming all adults fit for duty fight, meaning the army would rise to well above 2 million you itiot, if britain gets involved in Major wars, there would likely be a law putting all fit and able adults into the military |
