We don't feel superior, we just feel proud of our military (before you wonder, I am also a american). Most europeans (exception british) aren't doing anything with their military these days, so why cannot we feel proud of the americans that are losing their lives in the hope of a better world?

i dunno outher country but italian are actually operating in:
Afganistan
Kosovo
Iraq
Lebanon
and other little country like. same for other european country(most from germany and french) what u say is just lack of information about foreign states.
I admire you apreciate to be proud oh having the large army of the world but once again is light years away from you can say "usa is the best army" is just not and i think we have tons of proof.
Maybe you don't know that we are there because we taked only 20 casualitis in iraq, more few in afganistan, and once again we comed only when the war was "finished" (that one with regular army as the enemy, and we sendend in policeman trained to urban fight [a less trained version or your swat but in italy is an independent army])
I've see many document where american soldier help building back bridge school and so on i know your soldier are not so bad, but so many crimes commited by some idiot usa soldier make ur army hated from very too much people in all the world
Not very serious part of the post:
Remember even in the ww2 the war was winned on the soil of stalingrad no t during the d-day
And once again remember what rooswelt and churchill decided in secret when stalin was eating at the buffet "on western front we only act as micro combat action, we leave the biggest effort of the war to the russian" i know you don't ignore this but many many children that don't read history book think america all alone winned ww2 and liberate the world from the evils that is not so true

Oh yes Ciwawa! I almost forgot about the Italians, I am grateful to the Italians as well =).
The US army is faulty in many areas, except techonology. There we really are the best.

concord... you have great technology government program i have to admint. you have stolen many european good brain (lot of italian for sure) as in italy a scientist (no metter biologist or weapon specialized) recive a poor wage and amount of finances (in many case the wage is lesser than a worker)
Btw army is not the same at ww2 time people don't fight for ideal, fatherland defend theyr family or think like that people fight for the very big wage that goes to the soldier that are in service in foreign country.
In other word i have to say i knowed some marines (they have many bases here) we wanted to invite them to play at airsoft with us, but we was forced to give up to invite them as when we was going to ask them they was startint a close engagment each other and we was scared
.
And i have knowed other marines that arent so dick... but they are very low on number in these days

Unfortunatly true. It's just the avreg joe trooper on the ground wasn't told that when he joined, he was told he ould be fighting for his contry and freedom.
Do you think that the "average joe trooper" would fight for you if you told him that he will have to risk his life so youll make a few quick bucks?
P.S. IMO american soldiers are not the best, they are the just most widely show soldiers, and the only currently standing army. Hunders of them die there, but the media never tells the numbers, that is why people think that american guys dont die out there.
spetsnaz>all.
Oh yes, we totally spin the stories to make ourselves look like invincible crysis-nanosuits and we really lose thousands a day all over the world. We should totally ignore every single bit of proof in every last corner of the world's papers, media, totally ignore every single iraq death-counting site, totally ignore every single bit of information, etc. stating otherwise. Does an entirely voluntary, and still highly-professional military mean nothing to you? Of course, you like russians, it makes sense now. *points at the fact the soviets lost against arab monkeys in afghanistan whom had us-aid*
And I hate it when people say Russia won WW2. They won because they sent millions to their deaths, sending them en-masse against the germans and having their own army slaughtered wholeslaughter (there was a joke that the russians' frontline troops had guns pointed in front of them and, if they wanted to run from battle...guns pointed at the back of them lol). If they didn't have US supplies and weren't backed by the US, they'd have collapsed against Hitler. If you still don't believe anything I say, then I point to the easy time the Japanese had in totally obliterating Russia's asian holdings and china...until WE showed up and bbq pwned everyone.'
Why are we totally not the best (by miles and miles and miles)?

Russia DID win world war 2. Notice where most of the fighting took place. Notice where most of the dying took place. Sure US has its battles, Invasion of Normandy, Battle for France, but when did all that start? After the best of German forces were stalemated in the Eastern front. And while its true millions Russian soldiers died it was for the "greater good". Also the whole guns behind the front lines thing... thats not actually a joke thats a FACT.

Hahahahaha... oh i wish i could project my voice at your ill informed opinions. Why dont you read your 1960's text books. While it is true that US sent many supplies to the USSR through the FROZEN ports where goods were STUCK the supplies were a minor issue. While they did help they did not turn the tide of war. Frankly even without the supplies from the USA the Soviet Union would still have won the war. It would just have taken longer.

Think on this while you BBQ PWN people... Asia was second front for Russia where convicts, old equipment and second hand generals were sent. Japan could do very little with the massive frozen Siberia. Where it was beaten in 1940 by Zukov. The whole reason why it could fight there at all was because russian forces were fighting the GERMANS! However for the USA pacific was the primary are of operations, where the nice big navy fought. OH wait, where the reamins of the navy fought after pearl harbor.
Anyway i would love to tear apart your post some more but your lack of world war 2 knowledge makes me depressed. Go back to school and take a few more history classes (and no Wiki does not count. Not unless you read all the links).
Also yes i do take the Soviet perspective, because its True.

While I certainly don't agree with the spirit of his post, Lend Lease provided an incredible amount of logistical support above and beyond the significant # of combat units. Hundreds of thousands of trucks and huge numbers of locomotives and rolling stock were shipped in and served a huge portion of the Soviet Union's logistics needed. Whether Russia would have collapsed without this support is unknowable, but it was far more than a drop in the bucket.

i guess i'll just point out the soviet union ended up collapsing and russia is no longer a world power as proof we>u in the military, then.
Of course if I should use old history as the basis for saying russia pwns and us sucks then ok then I'll move to idiot land.

The American war doctrine is outdated imo, as is the British one, but to a war lesser extent, due to the training in independence that every soldier receives.

Also, I lost a game due to not enough anti-infantry units, so airborne get double damage at each vet level.
More changes to come.

Yes, because the soviet union collapsed because of their military wasn't good enough.

Technically we did not lose Vietnam, South Vietnam lost Vietnam. The United States didnt lose a single battle in Vietnam.
Korea was a stalemate, no one won that war, in fact the war is technically still on. We just have a cease-fire.
