I don't know if this is meant in a military sense or not... I think England suffers from a lack of national identity; whereas the other nations in the United Kingdom, if nothing else, can at least unite against England when it comes to sporting events in a sort of pantomime way. There's a very distinct national identity in Scotland, for example, the kilt, whisky, Irn Bru, being ginger, Flower Of Scotland, ceilidhs... I don't know much about England really, but I've just never gotten the impression that there are any equivalents to that. So in that sense, I'd say England is a weak nation, there's no cultural identity there for people to be attached to or be proud of.
