Special Ops Member Gets Honest About America's Great Military Ally

Published|Updated

Is the British military ready to handle a massive war?

The British military is America's strongest military ally, and the two nations have shared incredibly close ties going back to the 1800s. With plenty of chaos going on in the world, I found myself curious about what would happen if our great ally was pulled into a war.

I spoke with former British SAS commando Melvyn Downes on American Joyride about the situation, and he thinks that while the SAS will always handle its business, there might be some serious limitations to what the Brits can do.

You can hear his thoughts starting around 1:29:00 in the video below, and make sure to send your thoughts and reactions to me at David.Hookstead@outkick.com.
