if I get taken Hostage please don't send Seals or D Force or any US forces to get me killed

Answer 2

brits lost 300k guys god blessem,,,they were effective,better tanks came after the war,in africa during the monty's fighting rommel,tanks called honeys arrived from the US,whose tracks did not shred in hard turn abouts as did others the brits had in some numbers prior tot he war.

Answer 3

UK army: immediately after WW2, in the mid-1960s and from the Falklands War to the late 1980s

Secret Service: 1970s and 1980s

Altogether both army and secret service were at their best between 1980 to 1991 and worst during 1970 and 2000.

Since then the British army was at its best around 2010, but since the Cameron government was virtually cut down across the board.

Answer 4

The British Secret Service, in the years after WW2, was being run by the Soviet Secret Service.
