Unlike the truly fantastic US army we know and love that never fucks up anything...ever in an even remotely hight profile way.

He's right you know. 1st gulf war the merkins bombed our special horses guys even though they have union jacks on their cars. 2nd gulf war, they've shot at us, at least the ordinance is getting smaller.

Actually, i recon that the US army probably has one of the worst Kill/$ of any army currently in conflict.
You could pretty much replace the lot with trained chimps

I was replying to Prof's kill/$ of armies, but I didn't notice the 'in conflict' bit.
Considering the Swiss Guard haven't really killed anybody since the nineteenth century, I'd say they've probably got a higher $/Kill.

Pretty much, although our queen is probably more dangerous. She's a dab hand with shotguns, and if pushed I'm sure she'd head butt someone with that spiky crown she's got. Failing that set phil the greek loose, he's great at causing damage.
