The rules of engagement the British Defense Ministry foists upon British forces place little value on destroying the enemy. This led to disaster in southern Iraq and the same in Afghanistan.

The problem with British forces is the British government. British forces, the special operations troops aside, are only good for garrison duty, not fighting.

The only significant difference between British and French forces is that the British aren’t on the other side.

We’d be better off without them. Send ‘em home.
