In 2003 the Iraqi military actives outnumbered the US 2-1. If you count their reserves they outnumbered us 4-1. The US completely destroyed that army at the total cost of ~750 casualties.Spare me your misconceptions of what it takes to actually fight a war.
GDP Spending does not equate with SIZE of the military.
200 jets which cost half a billion each does not equate to having men armed and ready to fight.
In 1985 we had 2.2 million active duty military personnel. Today that number is about 1.2 Million.
it took 16 million US troops to fight WW2... you seem to be off by about a factor of 15.
So tell me again how much the size of the military matters. Share with us your deep knowledge about what it takes to fight a war. Lol.
