[T]he Brits have demonstrated a rather different, more "touchy-feely" fighting style than their American counterparts, whom they refer to as "Ninja Turtles," because of the Americans' helmets, body armor, and ubiquitous wrap-around sunglasses. For one thing, some Royal Marines took time out the other day to play soccer with local civilians south of Basra (the Iraqis won 9 to 3). The British strategy is simple: "First, we have football matches, then we have tea parties, and then somehow our soldiers go out and meet the local ladies," a retired colonel told the WP. "It's amazing how quickly they do that."
