VIOLENT BRITAIN
The British-controlled sectors of Iraq are quieter than the rest country. British soldiers have been less confrontational than the Americans, and haven’t antagonized the locals to anything like the same extent:

"British rules of engagement only allow troops to open fire when attacked, using the minimum force necessary and only at identified targets… The British response in Iraq has been much softer [than the Americans']. During and after the war the British set about trying to win the confidence of the local population." (From The Daily Telegraph).

And yet when you meet British soldiers in Britain itself they are very far from non-confrontational, always smashing up bars and hitting people. They keep the peace in Basra and Kosovo, but they breach the peace in Colchester. A paradox.

Unprovoked attack… assault… completely unprovoked… felt a blow… swollen nose…etc.

Woman bites soldier. Soldier hits woman with bottle. Tells the court he did not realize he was holding a bottle. (Christ, what a country!)

Navy towns are apparently even worse.
