First of all, the French kicked ass under Napoleon Bonaparte. Second of all, where is the current Chinese military?

The only way to settle this is to have another World War.

Rules will have to be set, brackets made, and a place chosen.

*sigh*

So much to do....

British Army > All

If our troops were a numerous as the Americans I suspect we'd pwn the world.

Hahahahaha... oh, you're serious. The only modern army in the world that I think could beat the USA is China.

well then no one should listen to what you think.

He said if the british were as numerous. obviously at the number they are today they couldnt they havnt got enough manpower, but if we were as numerous we would be in an equal fight, we share the same technology we either work together on it or trade it.

so all in all dont speak unless you know what you are talking about because from what i just read you either have no knowledge or just cant read

If the British army really pushed, it could probably match the American numbers. But because of many government defence reviews it has been reduced to a global police force.

Yeah, if we wan't to turn into another North Korea. The US is a larger country, and will always have a larger army than any single European nation.

The US army today is just over 1 million. The size of the British army during WW2 was well over 3 million - and that was with a smaller population. Today if they needed it, Uk could probably recruit about 6 - 7 million healthy men.

Britain was in a state of total mobilization during the second world war. Sure, Britain could mobilize it's economy and society into such a state any time, and it would easily rival that of the current US military. But such an argument is futile, since you have to consider the fact that the US would be much, much more powerful military wise if it did the same thing.

i personally think the nazis should be higher, its painful to say but blitzkrieg was genius

and whoever at the start said why the french? they conquered europe at a time when people marched in lines at each other, look at how the french organised their ranks, again genius

[QUOTE="dunkaholic"]ummmmmm according to 300 i think the Spartan army should be higher ranked then the Persian armygamedude2020

hmmmm yes according to 300...... a movie......

and if you watched that movie you'll remember the 300 Spartans were actually the underdogs.

and that movie was based on real events. 300 Spartans lead by King Lionidas really did completely own the Persian army even with the Persians vastly superior numbers, until they were betrayed by Ephialtes. The Spartans were the greatest warriors on earth at that time.
