From Iraq to outer space, America’s soldiers and astronauts are having a tough time co-existing with their British and Russian counterparts. In Basra, where U.S. troops have been slowly taking over fro withdrawing British units, American GIs have had to “rough it” on the British military base because of an absence of Pizza Hut, hamburgers, soda, and wi-fi Internet access. Such amenities are common on U.S. bases, but not British ones, which instead serve “funny” tasting sausages, not to mention tea and different types of squash with meals. “We have a lot more fatty stuff,” U.S. Sergeant Danny Choinard told the British media. “That is why you see fat American soldiers and why British soldiers are so slender.”
