Interesting, I do take some of the statments with a grain of salt though. I find it hard to believe that British Soldiers, with their long experience and training in urban warfare would patrol with weapons slung. I certainly have never seen them do so

Also interestingly, Canadians would fall somewhere in the middle between US and British troops with a reputation both as highly professional troops and as excellent peacekeepers.
