True, but A's for effort don't win battles.
However, some armies in the world take unit training for extreme environments a lot more seriously. Consequently their '110%' goes farther than ours.
Now don't tell me I'm 'anti-military' or something, I've been in light infantry units on active duty and I'm still in the Guard.
If we spent as much time actually training as we do on 'PowerPoint' briefings and paperwork, we'd be as good in challenging environments as the Brits.
