Canadian Soldiers, American Technology and British Officers

"If I had Canadian Soldiers, American technology and British officers I would rule the world."
~Sir Winston Churchill

Even though this quote's legitimacy is questioned, I find it an interesting concept; taking the best parts of other nations' militaries to make an unbeatable army. So, rules are you can chose five things, (technology, soldiers, training, equipment. etc,) from five, (past or present,) countries. Feel free to comment on others' choices, but in a civil manner. Since I'm OP, I'm obliged to go first.

German armor
Belgian firearms
American infantry
Imperial Roman generals
Vatican uniforms

They were smart guys; they'd probably get the hang of it after a while and go back to conquering Gaul like normal, but with tanks.

Roman generals were not universally competent. Hence the whole "having three legions annihilated by savvy Germans with spears" debacle in the Teutoburger Wald.

Some like emperors like Caligula wanted to wage war with Poseidon. Any sane general would have had Caligula killed.

For anyone wondering, I joined this website during my edgy teenage years. I made a lot of dumb, awkward posts, flip-flopped between various extreme ideologies, and just generally embarrassed myself. I denounce a sizable amount of my past posts. I am no longer active on NationStates and this nation/account is no longer used.

Italy's military history, from during the Risorgimento onwards, has largely consisted of military failure.

Fascist Italy's one notable success being against Ethiopia, a campaign in which they had access to chemical weaponry, tanks and aircraft and the Ethiopians didn't.

Turian...slaves...I don't see that happening, they'd sooner die then fight for the enemy as slaves. Besides, a fleet crewed by slaves is probably worse then one crewed by krogan, at least the latter would want to fight.
