I'm glad to hear you've rejoined the British Army, Dekker. And more so that you're well pleased with that decision.

...That said, does that mean you've renounced all ties to the NTF? 

It's Territorial, kind of like National guard but ten times better cos we're ten times better

And no i won't renounce my antizodism, (first use of that word in the  HISTORYOF EVERYTHING EVER!!!!!) in fact.. I'm going to start an underground movement in the Ministry of Defense similar to MIB which will eventually lead to the start of the fourteen year war

[Stormkeeper]

So you're like Celestial Being, only that you'll plot for 200 hundred years to start a war?

[Goober5000]

200 hundred years

So 20,000 years then?

Zod Tech + Human Tech = KICKASS

Zods Forever!

... Lol whoops.

USA goes overboard with their pride and thinks their military is the best

Our military costs as much as all of the other militaries put together

If it isn't the best, we're getting ripped off hard.

[Stormkeeper]

High Max, why so serious?

It was crossed comms, or a misunderstanding. Which is exactly what we wanted you to think. . . . .

Probably the result of a Terran taking offense to the standard greeting gesture in Zod culture 'mooning'. The act of mooning may be the equivilent of waving in their culture.

Why does "Scary Movie 3" come to mind when I read this?..

If thats how they say "hello", then i don't want to shake hands or hug them. Vectron only knows what they would do to me

GANGRAPE!!!

Doesn't USA have the best military tech in the world currently though?

Maybe aircraft, everything else is 50+ year old museum material.

[Scotty]

The M4A1 is most definately not 50 year old material.  Nor is the M9, M1A2 Abrams (granted those are recycled), M249, and LAWs 66 and 80, Blackhawks, Apaches, and Super Cobras.  Let's not forget the M95, M107, or M134.  M40A4s are also not 50+ years old, since those are all still made by hand.  M203s are, but those work well enough to stay in service.  M16s have gone through so many evolutions as to hardly be the 1960s models in anything but name.  M60s are still used because they work, and work well.  We've retired most of our older ships, and our current ships are some of the best in the world (though, granted, most 1st rate navies don't engage each other that often, so there isn't really a benchmark).

Universally, the US has the "best" military in the world, though I freely admit that other countries best us in one way or another.  There just isn't one that bests us in all of them, or even half of them (I realize "them" is a nebulous term here, but you know what I mean).

[Commander Zane]

The M4 is a carbinized M16, which is close to a 50 year-old design, I still say it's worthless, since there's stuff that outperform it in lifetime 20-fold, weighs even less, is more durable, and cheaper to produce (M8 prototype anyone, it did all of this).

[Scotty]

The M8 also melted the grip off its barrel when put through a field durability test.  Kind of like an M60 when fired continuously, but with more plastic getting in the way.  Reliability also has a lot do with field use.  The older designs have solutions for literally everything that could possibly go wrong.

I also notice that the M4 is the only thing you took issue with.  As we say in debate, "silence is compliance"

Let us remember that equipment isn't everything, training and discipline play a large part.

Because the M4 is the main standard issue weapon of all U.S. Armed Forces EVERYONE recieves training on it, I could care less about the M249, M240, M60, M2, M136, M203, M9 because only certain people per unit get those.
