What about what?
Brits or England? I'm confused! Saor Alba i.e. free Scotland, my best friend is from London & lives in Scotland & says that he wants the same.
This is the kind of stuff I love to see, pros acknowledging pros! Love our cousins across the pond 🇺🇲🍻🇬🇧
🤝🏻🤝🏻🇬🇧🇺🇸
Right back at you bro 🇬🇧 🇺🇸
Paraphrasing but Dan Carlin in his Hardcore History podcast regarding WW1 regarded the British as the bravest. Citing such things as they would shake the hand of a mostly buried corpses hand and make dark jokes about it as they passed. As if it were just a mile marker. The dryness is actually quite funny the more you think about it.
@@mi5anthrope
Have you watched 'They Shall Not Grow Old'? It's very good and it features a bit of the dark humour you're talking about. There's one part where the WW1 veteran is talking about how they found a dead German laying in the road, so they stuck a pipe in his mouth and told him to get up as if he was just being lazy lol.
Well said American cousin and thank you for your service. Proud to be British and to have the Americans has our friends 👍🇬🇧🇺🇸
🤘🇬🇧
When I think of England I think of a black kid and an Indian kid fighting over who gets to play with the Anglo’s toys they stole on the playground. Pathetic country.

Forget presidents and prime ministers, THAT is the special relationship right there!
100 %
Yes.
Most politicians suck. Too bad the good Men like these end up working for such cowards all too often.
@@jerryoshea3116 dude, the media SUCKS. Like, even leaving politics aside (which is an absolute CRAP show) they're constantly skewing things and making the entire world to be all doom and gloom. I firmly believe that it's a plan partly implemented by agencies like the CIA and "HoMeLaNd SeCuRiTy" to keep people depressed and inside.
The weaker the population, the easier they are to control.
That said, if you just go outside and talk to people, you might find that they're scared or intimidated, but generally way better than "they" want you to think.
Anyway...this whole world sucks in general right now lol. Dealing with people, society and politics I mean.
It's SO refreshing to just go outside and get lost (literally) in nature.
I'm planning on heading up to Alaska for a hiking/camping trip (solo, or maybe with one friend) and just get "lost" for a bit. Just leave the phone home, and disconnect from all the crap.
When you think of elevated UK military you think of scots
The British people are so dutiful! We could all learn a thing or two from them. I admire that most seem to be motivated by a civic duty rather than desire or personal gain.
those days are gone, demographic change has killed the Brits
Learn what? We thought them everything 😂

Total respect from a 51yr old Disabled British Army Veteran.
Total respect to you sir, from the US
@scotthill1600 Don't thank me sir. Its those thar gave all we should thank. X
@@didgerb72 I’ll tell ya, it genuinely makes me sleep better at night, knowing we have the UK & it’s military right across the pond. If I had to guess I’d assume at least some UK ppl sleep better at night knowing the US has yalls back, so win win. That’s a strong bond that I really appreciate in such trying times
@scotthill1600 We more like brothers than allies. We stick together most of the time. Have the odd falling out. Even separation. But still after time. We are still friends.
I have a few ancestors involved in the shaping of the Original English pilgrim father Settlers, and involved in War of Independence on US side. But not confirmed if related the second one. Still researching.
All branches of my family tree have the military or sea in their blood. Most the males in my family on mum and dad's side, all have worked in multiple (Jack of many master of none), trades. I'm also one.
Served 3 different times in British Army, at sea, in Container Berth and rest of Port, aircraft industry, fruit Market, warehouse stores, lorry driving, security, all sorts.
My first Buckman ancestor involved in The Colonies was.
Thomas Buckman
He sailed on the Pilgrim Father's vessel "The Welcome" in 1682. As it was over 100plus yrs thst the Pilgrim father's settled in America. The Welcome was funded by Sir William Penn. He was a friend of the King, but as a , he was treated badly, like many were. He.was good friends with my Ancestor apparently. After a 57day voyage. Many died including some my ancestors of Small pox. They arrived in America. Sir William and the others founded the city (and later capital) of Pennsylvania in 1682. Sir William sold some land to my Ancestor about 48miles outside Philadelphia. Some stayed, some returned (my Ancestors) to England.
My second (possible) ancestor, is John Buckman.
He owned Buckmans Tavern in Lexington. Same Inn that John Hancock, Sam and John Adams drank in, when plotting the revolution. John Hancock was in Buckmans Tavern when Paul Revere rode in to warn that the British Are coming.
John Buckman was involved in the plots, and was a Cpl in the militia, that were involved in the opening battles of Lexington and Concord in 1775.
I know first ancestor is 100%.
John Buckman is still being researched.
So how's that for US/UK relations Sir.
Lol.
@@didgerb72Yep that's exactly what I say brother its our fallen brothers and sisters who deserve the thanks they gave all to protect the country and people they love we need no thanks all we did was our job just like any other person the only difference is we could lose our lives doing it respect to our brothers and sisters over in America 🇬🇧💙🇺🇸👊👊👊✌
Thank you, brother.

I'm Scottish and proud to be British, always had the utmost respect for our US brothers in arms -Royal Marine (42Commando)ret.
Im English,what a great thing to say brother,scotland is a beautiful country and inhabited by great people.

@@lonsdaleslipons9570 Subservience is embarrassing.
They certainly are. I also had the opportunity to train with 1 and 2 Para, their Gurkhas, and the SAS. Very professional and ready to get busy. The Australian and New Zealand SAS are also that way. Great allies.
You obviously never ate in our cook houses. We think the same of you blokes- Brothers be brothers. God bless all of our boys (and girls)
REFORGER exercise, West Germany Jan 1986, we were unloading our vehicles off of a railhead at some marshaling yard up in the mountains in the southeastern part of the country, a vehicle wouldn't start jamming up the last two on the railcars ahead of it and one of them just happened to be mine, of course, we'd been unloading them all day and it was night at this point, the entire battalion wasn't going to be held up getting to an assembly area waiting for the mechanics over 3 vehicles, so they left us crews for them behind with a map and told us to get there after things got going.
As if it wasn't cold enough just after they left a blizzard set in, all we had was a burn barrel and a pile of wood from shipping pallets we'd busted up to try to keep warm standing around, about 20 meters away from us was a small group of British troops in some GP medium size tents with heaters in them.
After about a half hour of standing out in the snow one of those guy's came over and ask if we'd like to wait inside their tents where it was warm and offered us some hot chow they had.
I hadn't eaten since morning at this point and didn't even ask what kind of soup it was they'd set down in front of me but it looked good and was steaming hot which to me at that point was the most important thing, about half way through that bowl, and I really was enjoying it, one of the guy's I was with ask them what kind of soup it was and one of them said "Ox blood".
Normally in life the prospect of eating soup made from the blood of an Ox would have given me pause, especially since the only thing I'd ever heard about English food was "England, bad weather worse food" but I didn't even break stride, after finishing it off those guy's were kinda laughing about how cold and hungry I looked and the way I scarffed down that first bowl and ask me "Would you like some more" to which I replied "Absolutely, I think that's the best soup I've ever had in my life".
And thank God for those guy's inviting us into some shelter and feeding us that night because it was another 5 or 6 hours just until the mechanics showed up and at least another 2 on top of that until they got things going, then even worse the armored chassis I wound up having to drive 3 hours in a blizzard to the battalions assembly point had a broken heater in it, if I hadn't had the chance to warm up in those tents and get some hot food in me, and good food at that I'd like to point out, I don't know if I'd have made it through that night.
So since that night I've always felt indebted to and have looked up upon the British army and the Ox that gave it's life so I could have what was probably the best bowl of soup I've ever had in my life.
@@dukecraig2402 Are you sure it wasn't Oxtail soup? Quite common in the UK.
@@S__123
That's it!!!
Thank you, it's been years, you're right it was Oxtail soup.
Yes, the thought of eating something that was so close to an Ox's rectum would normally have stopped me dead in my tracks but not that night, that night I couldn't get enough.
It was genuinely good though, is the broth red? I'm pretty sure I remember it being red and is probably why I remember it as being Ox blood soup instead of Oxtail soup.
Irregardless, as far as I'm concerned I still owe one to the British army, they sure did bail me out that night.
One thing I've been wanting to try in life is Haggis, I know it's Scottish and not English but believe it or not from what I've heard is in it I think I'd like it, we have a dish here in America called Scrapple, it's made from critter parts most people want nothing to do with but I love it, I also like what's called Hurka Rings, it's stuffed in a casing like sausage that forms a ring, I used to live in a little town that had a meat store run by a Hungarian family that's been running the place since they came to America 3 generations ago and they made traditional Hungarian things like Hurka Rings, the main ingredient is sheep's lungs, sounds nasty but they were good, just put one in a pan with water about ⅓rd of the way up the ring with medium heat, right about the time all the water's been cooked off take it out and put it on a plate, slice the casing open and start eating it with cheese and crackers, man was that good but unfortunately I can't find it anywhere else except that little town I lived in 3 hours away from where I live now.
Thanks 👍👍👍 I'm gonna get on the internet and get a recipe for Oxtail soup and see if I can get what I need to make it.
@@dukecraig2402 Yeah well the common tins of Heinz oxtail soup we have are red because the broth is made with tomatoes and carrots. Its basically just a beef stew with tomatoes in it and the meat is from the cow's tail rather than the usual cuts of beef. Haggis is also delicious, and not nearly as bad as people make it out to be. Best of luck making your oxtail soup!
@@dukecraig2402 Brilliant story, had me as an Englishman (ex Rock Ape) sat thinking, “Ox blood. Now that’s hardcore, who were these guys?”
Oxtail is a different story! Very common over here, maybe less so these days, but you can still buy tins of it.
Anyway, great story. Always saw you guys as our brothers in arms.
I have absolutely no interest in the politicians. But I think it's fair to say that we all owe our freedom to these brave men from both sides of the pond...where would we be in the world right now without them. Thanks guys

I did some training with them decades ago. Nothing like Jocko did though. The Brits had great attitudes, and they all had an innovative and adaptable personality. They knew they weren't as equipped as we were but were very sure that they could overcome any shortcomings in equipment with their tactics and toughness.
It’s good to hear a great and respected man talk respectfully about England and the uk.

My dear sir, if ever you want to be in England, I would happily take time out to show you around. Best wishes, Dave in Yorkshire, England
I'm a Brit, I spent time on tour with the Danish, Latvians, Yanks, Aussies and Kiwis and never found a single unit that put it's country to shame. Soldiers are a cut above, there's a reason our ad campaigns said be the best for years.

I have always seen the British military is the Units have a deep history and tradition and you are never allowed to forget it and you sure as hell don’t let those traditions down.
I think of England as being a really pissed off commando, to the point they strapped themselves to the outside of a chopper, assault rifle in one hand, strap in the other and flew back into the battle to recover a fallen brothers body...... yes that really did happen!!
The battle of Jugroom Fort IIRC - 3 Royal Marines (including the sgt maj!) And a Royal Engineers officer. The officer later got called "Mullah" because he dropped his rifle carrying the body back and an insurgent was spotted with an SA80 on his back a few weeks later
The good old SAS! They also ‘stole’ a tank from an armoured regiment to get one of their oppos from a prison he was being held in. They literally drove it through the front door, opened the hatch, popped him and drove off!
With respect, just as many of our military tough guys come from Scotland, Wales and Northern Ireland, none of which are in "England", so to be safe, it's better to refer to us as "Brits" or the UK, and not just single out "England".
@@Aeronaut1975 why feel the need to try and divide such a formidable force once in the his majesty’s forces everyone is under one flag all brothers

@@MattC-jg1yb we have the same amount of Aircraft Carriers as China, (and better), we also have in terms of destructive capability, 2nd behind the US.

@@davidrenton you don’t watch the news do you? The Uk only has two carriers (non nuclear) and can’t even afford planes for them. How is the royal marines “elite” and the U.S. Marines are not? U.S. marines get more funding, more training time, and have access to better equipment.
As for SBS, no one cares about them outside of the UK. Their glory days are behind them, because they haven’t operated much at all. You’re just biased and there’s absolutely NO reason to think British troops can be better when they don’t have the money to train
@@MattC-jg1yb Carriers unlike Subs get less benefit from being nuclear. The same issues ,i.e remaining out undected on station are not a thing with Carriers.
the US marines are general soldiers, they where never an elite fighting force, unlike the RM.
the USM might be better funded but it's recruits are starting from a far lower level and end up in a far worse position.
Don't mistake increased budget for effectiveness. UK forces have constanly outperformed US forces while on a fracton of the budget.
British Special forces are operating everywhere and are used for the Jobs no other NATO country can do.

Stop confusing England and Britain please, there are 3 other countries that recruit into the British military, Scotland, Northern Ireland and Wales.
And Nepal, Ayo Ghurkali!
Further to last post, also recruit from other Commonwealth nations too. Colour Sergeant Johnson Beharry VC, is but one outstanding example.
Yup. I met Jamaicans, Maltese, and some other guys from places that are still part of the "British Empire" or used to be some 50 to 70 years ago.
Partially because not enough citizens of the United Kingdom are willing to serve.
To a lesser degree this is true of the USA too. People from Canada, the Philippines, Mexico, various Central and South American countries, South Africa, Europe, etc. Enlisted in the US armed forces.
@@paladinsix9285 I like the quote in Johnson Beharry's biography. Down the pub with his mates someone asked what was going through his head at the time he won his VC. Answer: "An RPG 7".

I've met many professional soldiers in my time and the Fijians are the ones I had the most respect for. These dudes love every one until they're fucked with, then you better join them or get out of their way because they go from soldiers to unstoppable warriors. Don't get me wrong every unit earned their respect bigtime it's just my opinion
Fijians are fecking mental. They're total gents and ladies, the most welcoming people you'll ever meet. And then they end up in a warzone and become the world's most terrifying creature, hellbent on bringing death to their enemies only to go home and be chill. Brilliant people who have an awesome culture and history! 🇫🇯
Well........ High praise indeed. Served 16 years (and would do every one of them all over again even with the arthritis it all caused me) Served alongside the septics 6 Brits amongst about 400 US Artillerymen. They were mainly conscripts but the lads I worked with were all pros and as this gentleman said they were squared away. Most had done at least one tour of Vietnam and knew the lay of the land. Also served alongside Princess Patricia's Canadian LI - No real difference between them and serving in a home grown unit - switched on likeable lads who knew how to drink, take the piss and knew what a fight was too. Great soldiers the Canucks. Also served for a brief while with the Royal New Zealand Infantry Regiment - same could be said of them. Likewise the Bundeswehr lads I served with - language a minor difficulty but their NCO's were top notch serious soldiery who were happy to learn from and teach us in turn.
Happy memories. Married a USAF beauty and imported her over 30 years ago. Gotta love the Yanks - she'd kick the crap out of me if I dared say otherwise!
That's a wonderful thing to hear one of our Finest Cousins from the great Colonies say about our British military and our country. Many Thanks Cousin - we hold you guys in the same esteem.

Makes me think of a few words said by one of the greatest of the greatest generation
"And we're going back to Tokyo, this time in full array... and with mighty allies"
Col James Doolittle
wanna see some tough soldiers? The Royal Irish Rangers of the 1980s was a force to be reckoned with. Belize jungle patrols to Berlin Brigade. Top notch.
Was in Berlin as RIR replaced one of the para bns if my memory serves me right (it frequently does not) Never laughed so hard in all my life. They were restricted to barracks for long periods - mainly 'cos they couldn't handle their drink and terrorized the locals in Gatow. Great blokes to work with, as funny as hell without even meaning to be. Ready to fight anything and anyone and often amongst themselves. I saw in my tour of Berlin - The Green Howards, R/Anglian/Welsh Guards/Paras(cannot remember which one though), RIR and I think it was Grenadiers who replaced the Welsh. The Green Howards were top notch, had little to do with the Anglian regt (They replaced the Green Howards at Gatow) but I do remember one of them getting pissed up and nicked a 432 and went driveabout smashing up half of Heer Strasse and nearly getting himself shot by German civil police. Paras were as you'd expect absolute pros and as efficient as fuck. Best fun were the RIR and yet they knew how to switch that off and be pro when needed. Had very little to do with the Grenadiers. Welsh Guards were a really freindly bunch of switched on blokes always seemed to have the knack of being there to help out when something need doing or you need an extra pair of hands (but they left half way through my tour - had a few drinking pals amongst them, sorry to see 'em go.
Thanks for the compliment brother but you’re making the classic American error. I am English and served for 18 years in the RAF but our national armed forces are British or of the UK. If you say English armed forces it really winds up the Jocks, the Taff’s and the Paddy’s as they feel all left out 😆
They’re trained, motivated and often started their career with a Sergeant that scared the crap of them, so it’s second nature
Served in the British army infantry. No one comes close to the discipline we had. Best officers and PT. Proud.
England isn't the UK. Now we know what you think of England. What do you think of Scotland, Wales and Northern Ireland?
Not just England buddy - there are the Scots, the Welsh and the Irish too - it's the British Army not the English Army.😊
Why is it so impossible for U.S citizens to understand that the UK and England are not the same thing. The clue is in the name "United Kingdom of Great Britain and Northern Ireland". Canadians don't seem to have this problem. Which reminds me, there is no such thing as The King or Queen of England, the last one died over 400 years ago.
Most people, that I've known anyway, do seem to equate Great Britain with England... Hopefully those who watched the Queen's final procession now realize that there is more to the United Kingdom of Great Britain and Northern Ireland than just England.
Britain and the UK is not ENGLAND! Get it right! The UK military is full of Scots, Welsh and Irish, not just English.

Thank you for your high praise for the British military. I left in 2004 after thirty years in the RAF. Unfortunately since 1990, discipline has become a dirty word, and so many officers get away with discrimination, verbal abuse, harassment and various other offences that the military claim don't happen.
It's not England, it's The UK or Britain as a whole!
There is no such thing as the English army. There is the British army and that's it. Never ceases to amaze me why Americans struggle so hard differentiating between England and the United Kingdom.
I beg to differ my friend . cause there was a English army all the way from 1066/ 1707 . Until we became Great Britain . the English was kicking arse up until then and carried on after we became Great Britain

Thanks Jocko, I very much appreciate your respect for our military and our country. Reciprocated!
So frustrating when USA folks talk about England and also the UK. You'll find that the highest percentage of military folks who've always been sent to fight the hardest fights are the other countries in the UK

🇬🇧😄
Oohh!Shiney stuff😅👍👍👍
Friend of mine in the British army while serving in Afghan told me, that he was given an American flyer, which read: "Please do not to start fights with personnel of the British army, you will not win." 🤣
Viva La Britannia
There’s four countries in the UK though!
Did you mean the Welsh, Irish and Scots Gaurds aswell as the other Brits 👍🏻❤️
What
A very educated friend once asked me which country had the best military, man for man. After a long pause reflecting, I finally ventured, Britain. He was surprised, he being British himself. He asked why. After another long pause reflecting, I said it was because of their very long military tradition with the history to back it up.
Thank you. We really appreciate your contribution to NATO and world peace. Without America over the last 80 years, we would have been in a much worse situation.
When you think of 'England' and the British Army what you're actually thinking about is Scotland 🤣🤣🤣
I have to say, I love being British, and love the fact we have you guys in the USA as our allies.
British SAS Are Bad Ass.
See Historical English At Their Best
By Watching The Original Version Of
Movie, ZULU.
Yes, those Welsh soldiers really were the best of England
@@Dan-qg1bq micheal caine isnt welsh :)
@@orbytl2799 lol true!
I trained with Aussie soldiers when I was an infantryman with the 7th ID at Fort Ord(back when there still WAS a Fort Ord) California and I feel the same way about Australians as I do about our awesome British cousins across the pond. Damn fine soldiers and even better people!
🇺🇸🤝🇦🇺🤝🇬🇧
You are confusing "England", "Britain" and "The UK".
The founder of 22 SAS was Scottish so pick your words carefully 🇬🇧🏴💪🏻
Island Nations breed a very particular mindset... there is a reason a land of mere millions conquered the majority of the face of earth
Yeah hundreds of years ago, now the countries going to shit and soon to be insignificant 😂 not sure that mindset still exists
@@jamesnewton6872 why I agree with some of your points I would argue that mindset is still very much prevalent the way the uk is almost feels like we need something to fight this is a nation built from war
@@snowtfl5617 maybe but all that probably results in is xenophobia or discrimination. None of the general population are willing to take any action or are built for war lol. Funnily enough in the UK we are never really willing to fight against things that generally impact our lives like bills going up, government robbing tax payers money and climate change etc. in France the people don’t take that shit and fight back straight away. It’s an interesting point though 👍
@@jamesnewton6872 I’ll give it to the french they’d riot if they’re water wasn’t cold enough let alone other things wether that’s a positive or a negative it depends as for the uk I was more talking about the facing of foreign threats rather then domestic issues but I can see your point of the issue of that accumulating into discrimination which can certainly be an issue
The British? England? That sas is drawn from Scottish English Welsh and Irish troops my friend and not just England but what would you expect from an American!
England is not the UK and vice versa. You just insulted the UK !
Scotland = England plus whiskey
Wales = England plus castles
Ireland = England plus leprechauns
Foxtrot Oscar ssshole. Grow up !
@@sunrayisdown1690 hey man. You are the one getting butthurt here. I think it's rather clear who needs to grow up
Is that right ? Foxtrot Oscar. Out.
@@sunrayisdown1690 I'm sorry you have to live in England, man
don’t forget Scotland
Nz military and the Australian military is the same.
Yeah maybe but Australia has fuck all combat experience at this point
@@BritGamingchanel not quite true. They do have some but on a smaller scale. The aussies saw action in both world wars and vietnam. They contributed towards the nato efforts in the gulf war and the invasion of iraq. More recently they had experiance in afghanistan. And a peacekeeping role in east timor. And of course we never see the clandestine actions of the australian sas.
That said though even action on a smaller scale can bring with it valuable lessons to add to new training across the whole force.
I think of England and the US similarly too, love starting wars, love talking about how they love wars, both hate what Russia are doing(rightly)but have no opinion on what Israel are doing 😂 anyway the main point is they both basically love war and considering its such a massive industry who can blame them.
British military is also Scotland Wales & northern Ireland & other nations not just England
@Chenq Gheerk Jealousy is unbecoming
All the ppl in the comments saying that englands full if terrible ppl or some bs dont realise that that kind of prejudice is ironically the exeact same as racism absolute clowns
yeah but the rule is its OK to be racist against the English. personally I put it down to envy.
Welp when poop hits the fan here with everything going on (check our news) and the war starts here it’s nice to know you guys might have our backs 😊
Learn history, and geography, and the difference between England, United Kingdom and Britain 🤡
Why so angry? I was born in Bedfordshire. Most people, that I've known anyway, do seem to equate Great Britain with England. Hopefully those who watched the Queen's final procession now realize that there is more to the United Kingdom of Great Britain and Northern Ireland than just England.
He just gave a really nice compliment. And for some reason you're offended?
Britain or the UK includes Scotland, Wales and Northern Ireland. Not just England
As a Brit, who is proud of our military and loves America and their people also, hearing this makes me happy, proud and loves the US even more.
Take a look at our Government, nothing proffessional about it whatsoever unfortunately.
When will Americans learn that British does NOT mean England? Four nations, please learn, it’s not difficult!
There’s 4 nations? Never heard of them
You hold in your hands a device that can inform you of pretty much any fact and opinion on Earth. All you have to do is read. I guess you just don’t want to learn!
@@smilerstewart1326 just looked it up and it says United Kingdom with the England flag 🏴 …. Didn’t know England was all of that … thanks bro 👍
nice to hear someone not slagging us brits off, thanks dude
I'm proud to be English and proud of my fellow brits just not proud of our pathetic government....
Cheers mate👍🇬🇧
Remember every other nation’s special forces are based on the SAS and SBS.
