Which nation has the best military?

These "which military would 'beat' the other?" threads are so pointless. Militaries exist to protect a nation's citizens, and each country does that differently.

The U.S. military is the best military for the U.S.' current geopolitical status.
The Swiss military is the best at protecting the cold, mountainous regions in the country.
The Israeli military is the best at protecting Israelis from standing aggression on all sides from its neighbors.
The Chinese military is the best at protecting a humongous amount of land.

Militaries cannot be ranked except by manpower, equipment, etc. Military strength means different things to different nations.

yeah, i have to agree with Israel.

if they had a military the size of ours, we'd be speaking Hebrew

Israel would be nothing without us.

:thumbsup:

Don't they get most of their military technology from us? I think we could handle a bunch of kids doing mandatory military service running around with Uzis and Desert Eagles. 🙂

Edit: Before I get flamed, that was just a joke referring to two famous Israeli-made guns... I was referring more to military technology like jets and missiles... do they get that stuff from us?

I think our navy alone w/ the Marine Corps on the amphibious ships is better than any other nation.

What is it, 12 carrier battle groups?! :Q

Zim, how many beers have you had tonight?

Man for man Canadian forces are vastly superior to US troops.

It's not hard when you only have to put your resources towards 10 people.

And actually, I'd almost agree with that Vietnam statement. Not really man for man, but overall..they've gone up against friggin China and survived..that isn't easy for a small country.

Once again though, it has nothing to do with size. If a country puts all of its resources into training one man, and that man is stronger than any other man in the world, then that country wins by the rules set down by the OP.

In this case, the USA wins because it has Chuck Norris AND Mr T.

"yeah, i have to agree with Israel.

Becomes this :

"??, ???? ?????? ?? ?????.

ROK soldiers, esp. the Marines, get a lot of recognition, even from the USMC.

I don't know how much water it holds, however.

I agree. ROK Army and Marines. those dudes are mean, tough, highly highly trained and diciplined.
