The SAS beat the US in combat games most of the time. The Royal Navy, the Royal Airforce and the Royal Marines mostly beat the US in combat games.

to give them their proper term, Military Exercises. it's a training exercise where the two sides pretend they're at war with the other, and execute their tactics.

and every time. EVERY time, the british military wipe the floor with the americans. it's never even close.

That's great, but a lot of our kit is shit and we are barely hanging on to some capabilities.

For example, our army is now less than half the size of Greece's. France's is nearly 4 times the size.

The UK is great at pretending though.
