I have to agree. The US has the best weaponry in the world, and enough manpower to back it up. Though, they will never successfully invade any of the other leading countries.

My own list:

1: US
2: Isreal (By program and technology, not numbers)
3: China
4: India
5: Russia

The UK was awesome, but it might as well be demilitarized now... :(

............Ummmmmm I kinda put this in mature descussion for a reason.
Anyways I can honestly say canada has the best trained soilders in the world. They have repeatedly out shot US snipers and showed unbelivable amounts of courage in battle. Just try to name one country military that can out shoot a canadian sniper.

However as we all know canadas military technology level is laughable at best. However I can say that if canada had the military technology that the US has canada would have the best military in the world.

I Actually don't remember who was number 4, so it could have been India.

And I'm going by overall military might, not just technology.

But there is no way in hell India of all places is better then Russia.

They use Russian weapons, in smaller amounts, and downgraded.

The US might have the manpower and the weaponry, but you must realize that the troops are scattered. If we united our troops we would be a force to be reckoned with, but as it stands, the US army isn't that spectacular.

Ok heres a problem I find in every one of all your militarys.
None of there soilders are well trained. There preaty much are all civileans picked off the streets and handed a gun. The only reason any of them can be considered a military power is
A. huge numbers of soilders
B. Huge numbers of nukes

Nukes are basically for intimidation now, the UN has established a system (I think it's called MAD) that if one country nukes another, a number of other countries are supposedly obligated to do the same to it.

Also, in terms of Russia, they may have highly advanced military technology but a lot of it was made at the expense of the country's vitality. During the Cold War, many many people's live's were ruined to make weapons that were never really used.

My list:
1 USA
2 Russia
3 Israel (same reasons as Numa, if they had the money....)
4 France
5 All the other European countries.

I know China's got manpower and firepower up the Ying-Yang, but I don't know what innovations they've made to technology. And I have no clue what India has up their sleeve.

The US somehow manages to win because they have the technology.
China, Russia, and Korea all have nukes, so they make it onto my list.
The terrorists in the middle east have somehow managed to survive for 6 1/2 years against the US. I think that's longer that WWII. And their tactics, while im-moral, manage to work.

Yes, Canada would be on this list if I knew more about them.

They're terrorists, Cahery. They aren't an army, they're an ideal. You can't just defeat an ideal with force, you need to use a certain measure of tact as well. Tact is something we all know Bush lacks.

Terrorist tatics work because there people have been living there for thousands of years. Also as I said before most US soilders can barely tell one end of a gun from the other.
Also google canadian snipers for info on how canadians out shoot americans every time.

Which is why they are so good at not losing. Also, I lol'd at the last part, even though this is in the mature discussion forum.
