"Driver ! Find a smooth track. Can't you see we're havin' our tea ?!"They have boilers for a reason . True Story
And they drive on the wrong side of the road/battlefieldThe trouble with the British tanks is that you have to stop at various times during the day for tea.
American tanks can keep moving.

Yeah yeah................................................The British have never fielded armor as numerously as other countries. Dan Carlin said it best during his WWI series the British had the army of a sea power. The problem is they no longer are a sea power either .
When they had empire they used local colonial forces for much of the peace keeping after pacification occurred. Not knocking their competence or their military tradition just stating the realities of things .
The sun set long ago of their prowess as a military power.
...with nukes.

And M1 Abrams armor....with nukes.
So true. They couldn't even have beaten a third-rate military power like Argentina and retaken the Falkland Islands without American logistical support.The sun set long ago of their prowess as a military power.
You got any data/documentation to back that up? Because I sure don't remember us(US) giving any sort of logistical support to the Brits for the Falklands campaign?So true.

I was alive at the time and I remember them relying heavily on US refueling and transport capabilities, which they lacked or were insufficient. But here are a few articles.You got any data/documentation to back that up? Because I sure don't remember us(US) giving any sort of logistical support to the Brits for the Falklands campaign?
