War Update: British & U.S. Militaries

NPR's Melissa Block talks with Charles Heyman, editor of Jane's World Armies, about the different approaches used by American and British militaries. He says the two forces have long had a good relationship. Their different experiences and equipment affect their styles. Britain is heavily influenced by its experience in Northern Ireland.
