UNSC marines>USMC marines

hell the US doesn't have the best army man-for-man in the world, that title belongs the the UK, followed closely by Germany

 

I'd have to disagree with you there. I think France would come second, and then Germany. I'm not saying this because I'm French, I'm saying this because our French Foreign Legion is regarded as some of the most elite men and women on Earth.

Actually, you know what, to be honest, I don't think there can be a "best unit in the world". The British SAS, the French Foreign Legion, the Russian Spetsnaz, the German GSG-9, and so on, all of them are elite, very well-trained units. In their individual armies, we just can't say. A French soldier could be more experienced than a British soldier, or a British soldier could be more experienced than a French soldier, etc. etc.

Actually, a better question should have been: who would win, a 21st century Earth or the Halo universe? Any one country, even the United States, will get obliderated by the combined forces of Halo.

It doesn't matter how many countries you bring into the mix the fact still stands..

UNSC alone would destroy the combined Earth, most likely because it is a combined Earth plus about 799 planets.

Covenant alone would just obliterate everyone and everything without leaving their ships.

Flood, well ever hear that 1 flood spore could destroy an entire galaxy or something like that.

And what happens when you bring all of them together?

Well they would destroy us just by thinking about it.

you guys are kidding right? France has an elite army? yeah okay and im king gorge

none are battle tested...what major engagments have they been in? NONE

U.S has the most 21st century battle experince in the world

however, our soldeirs are more expendible, and not as cared for. (pampered) if you will, they have good training yes, there is no doubt. Legendary training sure.

But when End War roles around

we will see who is supirour

 

First off, you better do your research before you make unverified claims about us having no battle experience.

Or, since you're obviously too incompetent, how about I do it?

 Why don't we start from the end of World War II, huh? Let's see...we fought for 9 hellish years in French Indochina (Vietnam, Laos, Cambodia). The war became very unpopular in France, and it was wearing down on the French economy and military---the U.S. was eventually paying 2/3 of our war costs. Eventually, we had to pull out, and then the Americans came in some time later.

 

The Algerian War lasted for 8 years and we fought in that too. Eventually, de Gaulle pulled out all French troops in Algeria and granted it its independance. But it was another hellish war, with both sides using nasty tactics to achieve their goals.

We fought in the Korean War too. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/French_Battalion_in_the_Korean_War Look there for a detailed description.

And from then on, our military did peacekeeping missions all around the world, particularly in former French colonies in Africa and the Middle East.

We participated in the Gulf War, sending 18,000 troops to the conflict, the second largest European contributor. We operated on the left flank of the Coalition force, fighting alongisde the XVIII Airborne Corps. One of our objectives, an objective my dad was part of, was to capture a key Iraqi airport. Our main force fighting was the 6th Light Armored Division.

And now? We're still doing peacekeeping operations in the former Yugoslav states, we're fighting in Afghanistan, we're still doing peacekeeping in Africa. Although we leave the bulk of the heavy fighting to the U.S., we have our fair share of combat experience. And don't say that "peacekeeping" doesn't count, because unless you've personally been in a peacekeeping mission, your claims are void.

So, next time you claim something, you sure as hell better back it up. It's people like you that makes me sick.

 

I do apologize if I derailed the thread, but I needed to get that out. This thread is sort of pointless if you ask me though. =|

Ok no offence french dude, but as soon as anything you guys get into gets tough you immidiatly fold. You haven't finished a fight since the Franks united the country. I mean come on, You folded on your alliance with cavour, you  put up a hell of a fight in WW1 and 2 (sarcasm). And on and on. I mean what have you actually done in the world? Defended your borders and beg for rescue. Ohh you sent 18,00 troops in the gulf war. That really put the victory of the top. In the gulf war Iraq had the Largest army in the world. In three days the United Staits (with a little help from our friends the brits) destroyed the anti air defense network and communication network. Destroyed Iraqi tanks without one abrahms going down. Their airforce was so scared it refused to fly. 3 days, and what did you exactly do in the gulf war. Stop being such a nationalist and just admit your country is kinda a putz when it comes to warfare. And man for man US destroys france, Supirour equipment and mobile armor would destroy the french army. We have a artillery platform that can put a shel through a specific window of a house miles away.  Oh yeah and explain the French American War.

BTW I know our current war In Iraq is a mess. We are not evil imperealistic americans. Most people hate Bush. We really want to get out but we got in to deep. I do support our actions in Afganastan. Though. Do not believe common European steriotipes we are not ignorant selfcentered people.Oh yeah and thanks for the Toast :D !
