Sir,

Please be advised that this article is pre-11 Sept and pre-Iraq War. Thus, alot of points are out-dated, particularily those concerning zero-casaulty tolerance.

This article does demonstrate a cultural difference between the two armies and how each evolve their own thinking though the Colonel did left out British reliance on large local auxillary forces.
