It isn't. They're on par with most of the third-level militaries... of course using our equipment and advances and protection... but still more than capable of taking on just about anyone outside of the Top 20 militaries.
(US, China, and Russia are the Big 3, of course... and India is not quite in the top group, but distancing themselves from the next group, being Germany, France, UK, Japan, Turkey, and South Korea).
That being said, one of their better regiments is literally called the Princess Patricia's Light Infantry... or "the Patricias"... but I'm told that you are wise to not make light of the name to their faces.
“the pattys”
sounds better than the other way
you could make the t’s sound more like d’s
I was 2PPCLI, some wog (without guts) trade guy called us something derogatory once. Once. He learned a valuable lesson that day. Always bring a spare set of clean clothes to change into.
