The British way of going about war, in 10 easy steps.

1) Have a war declared on us.
2) Sit around, not really give much of a toss until push came to shove.
3) Absolutely wipe the floor with anyone who tries to f**k with us on our own turf.
4) Sit around a bit more. Have some tea, maybe a crumpet.
5) Come up with some astonishingly clever bomb and drop it on the enemy.
6) Make a film about said bomb and come up with some catchy music for it.
7) Let the SAS, SBS, Marines etc perform some daring raids which again will be turned into films.
9) Invade enemy country. Kick some ass, take some names.
10) Win war. Get home for tea and medals.

The Belgian way:

1) Scream: There come the Germans...
2) Wait until the allied troops free the country
3) Become the center of the European Union

Hah!
The danes did it in 10 easy steps! :D ;D

The Danish way of going about war, in 10 easy steps.

#1 Do nothing, maybe harvest a little
#2 Be surprised over enemy tanks rolling into the country
#3 Do only little resistance, try shooting at the tanks with machineguns (Fun, ain't it?)
#4 Raise your hands and say "We give up" (Not like the french, that stays at the border with raised hands and awaits the enemy ;D )
#5 Be buttkissers the next three years
#6 Get the RAF to drop weapons to us
#7 Go out and blow some stuff up, just to say that you was in the war
#8 Wait on allies to arrive..
#9 When the allies arrive, shoot after the retreating enemy, while yelling "That teached them a lesson!"
#10 Congratulations! your country survived the war, and you are considered as an allie! Now go out and eat some pastery! ;D

Cheers Theis the proud Dane ;D

i can really tell it the american way

1) get disturbed by a country doing something different than the American way.
2) blow the country like paris hilton on a friday night :P
3) head into said country with Red Cross and start helping those who survived our attack
4) send detective-like peopl to find they are working with another coutnry, with ties in the middle east.
5) tear apart that country like Prom night ::) :P
6) help there as well as original country
7) find random person on the street, give them a suit, a limo, and declare them president.
8) find out 2 months later they are just as corrupt, and our supplies has gone to waste
9) repeat 1-7 until president gets the point that theyare just fine
10) go back 30 years later and apologize, and slowly infiltrate country to become american-like.

see... it's that trip up on 6-7 we keep getting wrong.

well the original was :

The Old British way of going about war, in 10 easy steps.

1) Have a war declared on us.
2) Sit around, not really give much of a toss until push came to shove.
3) Absolutely wipe the floor with anyone who tries to f**k with us on our own turf.
4) Sit around a bit more. Have some tea, maybe a crumpet.
5) Come up with some astonishingly clever bomb and drop it on the enemy.
6) Make a film about said bomb and come up with some catchy music for it.
7) Let the SAS, SBS, Marines etc perform some daring raids which again will be turned into films.
9) Invade enemy country. Kick some ass, take some names.
10) Win war. Get home for tea and medals.

Nowadays it is more along the lines of this.

1) Get told by Uncle Bush that we are coming to some godforsaken part of the Middle East for a few more gallons of the finest gasoline. If we dont Uncle Bush will be awfully angry.
2) Argue, lie, piss and moan, f**k the public about, and generally piss the UN off about a resolution which happens to be as illegal as murder.
3) Go to war without said resolution, claiming that God told you to go find the invisible nukes, nasty gases and some bad bacteria. Consider lobbing large quantities of Yakult over the border to sort the "bad bacteria" thing.
4) Capture oil fields first. (Primary objectives, naturally)
5) Finish off the country, ceremoniously ripping down any pictures of local dictator. Wait a few months then capture the dictator in question. Fail to find any form of nuke, chemical weapon, biological agent, nerve agent or sharp stick.
6) Sit in said country getting our lads blown apart by IEDs, Mortars, etc etc.
7) Have the home media slate the squaddies for being "heavy handed" with local grenade-throwing rioters. Said rioters get away with cuts and bruises.
8) Still sit in said country with the locals sh*tting over our boys whilst they try and get the nation back on its feet.
9) Look for the earliest chance to get our boys out. Realise its years away.
10) Apologise on national TV and blame MI6 for "False intelligence" that led to the invasion.


but i though it might be a bit political... but the american way above is about the same..
