A description of each one:
The United States Army is the branch of the United States armed forces responsible for land-based military operations.
The United States Navy is the sea branch of the U.S. Armed Forces.
The United States Marine Corps is a branch of the United States Armed Forces responsible for providing force projection from the sea, using the mobility of the United States Navy to rapidly deliver combined-arms task forces.
The United States Air Force is the aerial warfare branch of the U.S. armed forces and one of the American uniformed services.
The United States Coast Guard has a maritime law enforcement mission (with jurisdiction both domestically and in international waters) and a federal regulatory agency mission as part of its mission set.

Firstly, you've just contradicted yourself, they can't take down helicopters if there isn't which you just said the British Army haven't got. Secondly, you've just said the answer to why they're being killed without realising it: lack of training the fact that they have 32 weeks or whatever of training and only practice with blanks might contribute to the fact that they're all being killed.
This also answers the previous bit as if they're not trained properly there is no point giving them expensive and complicated vehicles and weapons is there? If you are old enough to be a taxpayer then you will be contributing to the cost of this expensive equipment and therefore you should be complaining that money that could actually be spent usefully somewhere else is being wastefully spent on a group of people who are not helping anyone or contributing to anything and are just frequently being killed.
Lastly, the British Government did not opt to start a war with Iraq ect. they were forced into it through their relationship with America.
Phew...(Out of breath)..

Sorry, the 32 weeks is the selection process. Like within the 32 weeks, if you lack strength, stamina, determination etc you are out. Then when you pass and graduate the 'real' training begins. The 32 weeks aren't a walk in the park though. The British army are not called the best in the world for no reason, (no, I'm not trying to start a flame war, just saying what many people, including some Americans, say) They don't stop training. Then you have the Royal Marines, whos training is even more gruelling than the armys. Then there is the SAS. These guys don't stop training. They use live ammunition in the kill house, which are the only people in the world to use (or was, not quite sure). They simulate torture as if they were in the hands of the enemy. It costs £1 million to train one SAS soldier.
It's not just the British troops being killed by the way. America has lost more troops than the British. America has lost, as of today, 807 troops in Afghanistan. The British has lost 210. Yes America has more troops over there as they have 29,950 and the British have 9,200. Now, even if America had the same amount of troops, it still works out that the deaths would be in the 300 zone, and again, I'm not trying to start a flame war, but please don't say the British troops are inexperienced when you have more deaths.

HAHAHA. lol You would think so but look at the ways they fly, and if your plane stalls too long your in deep trouble and you probably have more of a chance dying in the Air Force than any other Armed Force. But I would choose the Air Force to if I had to choose one just because it seems real cool! lol.
