VetLegion, Umm? We still weren't allies. We still helped them. They gave us weapons and we used them to fight the same enemy. Then we went for peace. Still i can't see where's the stabbing? It's not like we would fight to the last man literally  . IF we were allies, then i'd see why you call it backstabbing.

But of course we stabbed the Germans in the back. The ****ers actually demanded we embrace their insanity and go happily down with them.
Just goes to show what happens when you try to screw with us Finns.

OK, if you view it like this... But then don't forget the Hungarian Austrians who were about as bad as "German"-Austrians. (And don't forget that Croatians used to be the cannon-fodder of hungarian officers )

I mean... we are extremely poor soldiers and very bad fighters (no shame in admiting that IMHO), but why does that should preclud peopefrom chosing to fight with us?

No, actually you're right, it's absolutely great to fight with the italians. In the end you'll always win 
Honestly, the only reason why I wouldn't like to fight with Italians is their shifting loyality they showed in WWI.

Good point from the British point of view. From the American point of view, the Koreans were the toughest and best in Vietnam.
In Afghanistan, the Brits are looking good.

A Cossack/Gurkha who was trained in Germany with American weapons and an Irish attitute.
Give me 10 of these, and I will conquer the world, if it is not the day after St. Paddys Day.

No, it's from the time the swiss beat the sh*t out of us Austrians in the 16th cent. Afterwards they were the most wanted mercenaries, especially in Italy. The swiss guard is nothing but a remnant of this period.

"French Foreign Legion" rules !
Stupid pool.
No "Banana Kingdom" or "Republica del Banana" options.
Multi-option would have been cool.
Option "United Earth Army Against Green F*cking Aliens" should have been proposed too.

I thought this was a "who's the best soldiers" type poll.
That'll teach me to read the first post, even if the poll appears self obvious.
I voted for Russians.
Their army is old, and they are often dumb and untrained
However, the Spetsnaz kicks ass.

I chose *gasp* Norwegians, now want to change* to someone else (Brits), but you have to admittheir Jaegers make SBS, SEALS and SAS combined look like pansies.
* - cause special forces don't win wars.

This poll is stupid. Incredibly.
However... Man for man, bullet for bullet, based on combat records from the last hundred years...
Kiwis, Aussies, South Africans and Gurkhas make excellent comrades for Canadians. Keep some of the Brits around, they can be useful for carrying water.
Finns do well too.

As a Brit I'd have to say the former colonies like NZ and Aussie. 
The Aussie SAS were kickin' arse in 'Stan just lately...
The worst would be the US - I just don't fancy being shot by my own team!
These aren't isolated incidents either, they happen ALL the time!!! Afghanistan is the latest in a neverending catalogue of blunders stretching way back! In the Gulf War the UK lost more than 50% of it's casualties to US 'friendly fire'! 
Even in WWII there was a joke:
'When the Germans bomb, the British run for cover...
'When the British bomb, the Germans run for cover...
'When the Yanks bomb, EVERYONE runs for cover...'
People are dissing the French again...
I surprised all the Americans didn't vote for the French - after all, they saved your asses in the American War of Independence!

Let me think...(we are speaking about stereotypes here, or rumors, not reality, right?)
Germans... too klingon-like
Russians... too canon fodder
Americans... the best and the worst altogether, too 'dice tossing'.
Brits... too... british, my dear, is it not?
Scots ... do they still wear kilts?
French... errr, don't tell them I'm belgian, say I'm err,...swiss!
Italian ... do they have at least ONE fonctionning machine gun?
Japanese... too small: I'll be the tallest of the army, so I'll be the first shot at...
Finns... is skiing a pre-requisit?.
Spanish ... could you just ask them to stop speaking all together, so I hear what the officer is saying...
So, that leave us with... (a little bit more seriously)...
The Israelis. From few friends being there, Israelis' army seems the best compromise between human consideration and military training. They even don't shot their refuznik...
Israelis.
