首先是大不列颠而不是英格兰(大不列颠及北爱尔兰联合王国。大不列颠包括英格兰,苏格兰和威尔士)。
我十分能够理解外国人搞不清楚这个事,不过我猜苏格兰、威尔士和北爱尔兰军人不会高兴被称为英国人。有点像我们英国人管加拿大人叫美国人时他们有点小小的不爽。

While I agree the UK’s armed forces should be up there Just look at any period in history for proof…
…we don’t currently have any aircraft carriers! HMS Queen Elizabeth and Prince of Wales are not built yet! and when they do get into service it’ll be with no fixed-wing assets only helicopters. As the F35 Lightning II won’t be ready until 2020!
(So please don’t invade just yet!)
