New Zealand army versus US army

How can anyone beat an army that has 85 million sheep the best rugby union team Allblacks ,crap cricket team with the finest leader Steve Fleming he will be in charge commander and chief of our armed forces not to mention the maori war party waititng to give the the old tongue salute and the americans think highly of the M1A1 , they haven't come across old Jake the muss he is the human version of the M1A1 well i have'nt mentioned all the bros in ausse land either just wonder with all these resources the americans will be facing the land of the long white cloude in awe . If they come to invade they are to bring some jackdaniels/Southern comfort as main inventory also heavily armed with VB tinnies as hand grenades if they adher to these policy we might let them in the door as long as they have idea anything 18/over this ain't the US

The only battle between US and NZ forces was on Cuba St in Wellington in '43 or '44. I think it was widely held to be a draw.
As for modern day you're living proof that we've already conquered Australia, why should the US be any harder?

Yes seriously. The NZ Division came home on leave and found lots of US troops (stationed here for training before going into the Pacific theatre) wooing the local gals. The Americans had lots more money and could dance better, the womenfolk were swept of their feet, and....

It culminated in pitched battle in Cuba St (no firearms but everything else) and ran for several hours before the MP's got it under control.

Nah, it was the women. The GI's were pretty well behaved generally, and adapted to Maori prestige pretty quickly, it was just a bit of culture shock for them. There's an awful lot of NZ'ers who have a bit of Yankee blood in them, plenty of Kiwi blood in the states also.
