British Army Or Air Force

Irish Army vs British Army who would win?

I'm not talking about the IRA , I mean the actual Irish Army against the actual British Army. And remember the Irish Army captured and disarned several SAS men who "accidentally" entered the Republic.

Why is it it's the Royal Navy, the Royal Air Force, but just the Army.?

The Royal Navy is called 'Royal' for the same reason that the Royal Air Force is Royal. The RN and RAF are two completely organised armed services, which have Royal Status.

The British Army is a great deal more complex. In simple terms, the British Army is made up of two armies. After the restoration of King Charles II, the armies of Parliament (The New Model Army) and that of the King, were amalgamated to create the new British Army. Those regiments which had been in the King's Army, were given the title 'Royal', those regiments which had formed part of the New Model Army, did not want 'Royal' so remained plain whatever regiment.

Some regiments refrain from be called 'Royal' because of recruitment difficulties in the main area where they recruit. It might be the case that some young men do not wish to join a 'Royal' regiment.

All of the above is just the basics. It's much more complicated. But I hope this gives you some idea.

What do Americans think of the British armed forces?

What do Americans think of the British and the British armed forces including the Royal Navy, Royal Air Force (Prince William in training), the British Army (Prince Harry in Afghanistan), SAS, Parachute Regiment and others?

What do you REALLY think of the allies to the U.S. who stood by you at the start of the war when other countries did not?

Can I join irish army (air force) even though i am Lithuanian(eu) citizen.?

You must be an Irish citizen to Join the defense forces as an officer however you can enlist in the Defense forces provided that you have never previously been in the armed forces of another country.

Also to the answer that we do not have an army is rubbish,
it maybe small but it is very well trained.
