[QUOTE="peter1191"]Its not so simple: the U.S. army is always looking for ways to advance its army. The tech of the american army is far more advanced.

hahaha no... no america is fairly advanced but you arent that advanced

well if britain and nato decided to up and leave(its looking more likely that america will though!) id like to see just how well america would do then...

I think Canada has the best military since they recovered frozen giants from the melting ice and add all the trained penguins to that.

Which country in the world pours more than 6% of its annual GDP into its army? Which country in the world maintains numerous bases in foreign territory? Which country in the world fields the highest and most expensive variety of aircraft, aircraft carriers, and armored field vehicles? Which country in the world is backed by a fanatically devoted populace that can swell the ranks of its defense forces by millions the moment someone gives it the wrong look?

Which country in the world pours more than 6% of its annual GDP into its army? - The US, because it has the money to do so.
Which country in the world maintains numerous bases in foreign territory? - Both the US and the UK.
Which country in the world fields the highest and most expensive variety of aircraft - Probably the US. Britain just has the better pilots I guess.
and armored field vehicles? - It's "Armoured Fighting Vehicle" and the UK. Challenger 2 > All. (Except Leopard 2)
Which country in the world is backed by a fanatically devoted populace that can swell the ranks of its defense forces by millions the moment someone gives it the wrong look? - Again, America has the Population to do so. Perhaps that's America's problem. It doesn't "look before it leaps".

I don't know. We may have the strongest military, but we have a poor health care system, failing education system, high murder rate (for a highly developed country) and so on.

lol child.

who eva fires the first nukes is gonna win so theres no point sayin "my countrys army can beat your's." lol F-A-G-S

Russia and the United States. Russia has more nukes than us. :( majadamus

There is a general consensus that the US has much more advanced nukes though. I think they both stopped making them a while ago, although some black projects are probable.

And while the Royal Marines and SAS are kicking ass, the Marines will flank the enemy and kick even more ass, and then both sides are kcking ass and its a battle to see who can kick the most ass.

You guys make me laugh. You're arguing over the internet, somehow able to do it without actual social contact (beats me). Even more, most of you don't know much about world militaries and take your knowledge from some games and other little sources. Also because of hate towards a country or something.

:roll: Strawman, ad hominem, and a whole bunch of red herring. I hope you're proud, mang, you just claimed a whole bunch of untrue crap. Maybe you haven't noticed, but this thread is about strongest military. Not, "most kind hearted military". Which I can clearly see is the problem here. Admit it, most of the people here who think the US army isn't the strongest just hate the country and base all of their logic off of that. Sorry, ladies and gentlemen, the US isn't very popular with me either,but you're pretty foolishif you think the US isn't the strongest in the world. Unless the term "superpower" wasn't something they went over in high school.

The US, because it has the money to do so.

Holy crap! Ya think? That's EXACTLY what I was saying! You and I must be like, totally psychic!

Both the US and the UK.

Ok, now list me the number of bases.

Probably the US. Britain just has the better pilots I guess.

Based on what. Your conjecture? Tell me, how many flight schools does Britain have and what are their entrance requirements?

It's "Armoured Fighting Vehicle" and the UK. Challenger 2 > All. (Except Leopard 2)

I've heard both "Armoured Fighting Vehicle" and "Armored Field Vehicle". Though Field vehicle would probably refer to APCs and other lightly armored vehicles as well, which is *gasp* exactly what I was talking about!

And you had damn well better show me lots of evidence to say the Challenger and Leopard 2 are superior to a group of AFVs which have proven themselves in numerous wars as it is.

Again, America has the Population to do so. Perhaps that's America's problem. It doesn't "look before it leaps".

So what if it is? It's totally irrelevant to this thread. If you want to make a thread about America's social problems go ahead. But we are talking about strongest military here. Comprende?

It was cancelled. Mainly because it was wasteful. A lot of the weapons the program made plans for were absurd and fell into same category as Germany's WW2 "miracle fantasy superweapons".

Russia - Their weopons, from the 80's, make America look like a third-world insurgency.

A funny little story circulating through the Marine Core during the occupation.

yeah, I actually like doing things like courses war games and everything else armed forces do for training, and yes the marines training is harsh same with the army and same with any other armed forces, but I have seen what they do up northern canada and it is like nothing I have ever seen, you have to go see it, only in training is the UK and canada a little ahead, US tech is amazing and they have more people they are the best over all.

The strongest8 imo:

1. U.S.- One of the larger armies when it comes to numbers. Best trained overall. The strongest tanks (Abrams). The strongest air force which includes F-16s, B-2 Stealth Bombers, F/A-18s, And soon will have F-22 Raptors. Of course, the highly classified Aurora Bomber is also there. Then there is the matter of all the spy technology and armored vehicles it has along with longrange missiles, nukes, etc. The navy is also obviously the strongest in the world.

2. Russia- More soldiers overall than the U.S.and are well trained. Strong ground vehicles like the T-90 tank. A strong air force filled with hundreds of MiGs and Su35s. Many other armored vehicles with helicopter backup similar to the U.S. Longrange missiles and many more nukes than any other country. Good spy technology.

3. China- Obviously has the most standing soldiers and reserves out of any country. Type 99 tanks aren't the best, but are good and they have many of them. The Chinese military is radily modernizing and the amount of powerful armored vehicles is going up. Numerous aircraft and battleships, but not very advanced. Nuclear capabilities.

4. Great Britain- Same as the U.S. with less troops and less aircraft. Stronger navy than any country besides the States. Strong Challenger 2 tanks. Nukes.

5. North Korea-Number-wise, one of the very largest armies in the world (comparable to U.S.) and are very well trained. Known to fight harder than most. Technology is weak butextremely numerous with many longranged artillery and thousands of tanks. One of the largest special ops forces. Very large, though old, navy. It has the strong Fulcrum MiG, but other than that its aircraft, though numerous, is weak. Limited nuclear capabilities.

6. Israel- The best spy technology in the world. Huge amounts of reserve troops, more than pretty much every other nation and the army as a whole is very well trained. Aircraft isn't very strong but good enough. Arguable the best tank (Merkava) besides the Abram, sometimes argued to be AS strong as the Abram. Some of the best equipped armored vehicles out of anymilitary in the world. Only country with an anti-ballistic missile defense system. Nuclear capabilities.

7. India- One of the largest militaries in size. Many armored vehicles including (though I'm not sure about this) the Russian T-90 tank.Air force is numerous but its fighters (MiGs) aren't very advanced, but they have good spy jets that can carry nukes. A fairly strong navy that has helped them win wars in the past. Nuclear capabilities.

8. France- Yes, I said France. There are countries you could argue are stronger, but this is my opinion. Less soldiers than anyone else mentioned, but strong technology, well-trained troops and nuclear capabilities. Its tank is strong, though I can't remember the name (starts with an L), but it's not as strong as the Abram, Merkava, or T-90. The rest of the French army is similar to the U.S. with less aerial and naval power.

Oh, and I found a list of rankings that don't agree with me completely.

It's often funny to listen to what stories commanders will tell their men to make them think they can actually win against such incredibly one sided odds. One of my favorites to this day is theNazi "LOL, the slavs are inferior, we'll take Moscow in a week!"

Yeah, we all saw how well that worked out.
