Do these guys meet any of the British Allies?

Are these guys as disrespectful about the British as the guys in Band Of Brothers.

Me and a few others have not seen Band Of Brothers because of the way the American soldiers spoke about the British. Apparently it is horrendous. This would disappoint me a lot and so I avoid Band Of Brothers. I am disappointed to have to miss it because some people have said it was good, but the same people said they like Braveheart which was nothing more than fictional anti-English piffle.

In the book, the British are briefly mentioned since they were part of the ground invasion of Iraq in 2003 but there was no joint operations between the UK (or any other Coalition Forces) and the 1st Reconnaissance Battalion.

They really don't talk THAT badly about the British in Band of Brothers, I'm North West born and raised and I didn't take any exception to it at all.

Sounds like you're needlessly depriving yourself of possibly the best miniseries ever made.
