I would argue that that line isn't true anymore, mainly because our capability is so stripped back.
We are no longer in that elite reputation field. Your line is the same line that our Prime Minsters like to pull out. "We can punch above our weight", "We're the best little army in the world"
Don't get me wrong, our troops and pilots and sailers do a great job when they're asked to, but that's only a small part of the equation when its comes to declaring pound for pound that we're the best army in the world.
In terms of equipment, tempo, ability to deploy and stay, and support our troops on those deployment are so sub par that no soldier can over come it.
