1) Israel - Because they are extremly well trained they had to fight on two fronts in the yom kippur war i think it was against syria who outnumbered them and egypt who outnumbered them and both were well armed.

2) United Kingdom because we won a war on our own more recently than the US

3) the US because they are technologically best and can afford to keep a huge well trained and armed force only reason theyre not second is because they always call for aid.

Ya and the British Navy isn't the largest, the US navy takes top place with the Russians at a distant second.

For how small Israel's force is I'd have to agree. In their last few wars where they have been ATTACKED first haven't they just kicked all ass?

It isn't even the second largest, its something like the 4th or 5th or 6th.

Well I don't think anyone is really stupid enough to use nukes. I mean, sure the US used nukes on Japan, but we were the only ones who had them. If Japan could retaliate, I'm sure they would. I think the Cold War is an example of what would happen. Everyone would be flexing their nuclear might, but in the end, anyone stupid enough to actually order nukes to be dropped when almost every modern country has them and has allies... that'd be stupid as said by the Russian and US leaders at the time.

Hand to hand combat? Has there been a war within the last 300 years where hand to hand combat played a significant role?

The MArines do martial arts, and they're taught how to fight up close with the butt end of their rifles.

Anyone can use the butt of their rifle, that actually sounds more of an insult to Marines in a sense of indirectly calling them pansies because to be able to do hand-to-hand combat they still need their rifles. Thats the way you made it sound.

I guess there was a threat of WMD's, but thats been disproved so I think we should leave, but we have to "stabilize" the country lol. I don't know about oil, though, gas prices have just been going up :/

Thats not true. Where did you get these statistics?

LJS9502_basic

the cia factbook

Manpower available for military service:
males age 18-49: 342,956,265
females age 18-49: 324,701,244 (2005 est.)

That's the population available...that's not the actual military.

[QUOTE="my_name_is_ron"]how about we decide this lively debate by going to war? it'll be a better excuse than oilDivergeUnify

How about no...

why not?

i have a question, what was americas reason to go to war with vietnam?

Because North Vietnam invaded south Vietnam....

pardon my ignorance but isn't that a bit of a case of sticking your nose where it's not wanted? or were the usa just flexing their military muscles and sticking 2 fingers up to the east?

also, what was the reasons for going to war with iraq?

I guess there was a threat of WMD's, but thats been disproved so I think we should leave, but we have to "stabilize" the country lol. I don't know about oil, though, gas prices have just been going up :/

iraq was arguably in a better state when saddam was in charge. and the us shouldn't pull out just yet, not when they're so close to invading iran as well to then realise that they pose no threat either. i really resent the 'shoot first ask questions later' thinking of george bush and his idiot government

If the US was in a serious war with China, I'm pretty sure a draft would be reinstated, also.

And you're doing one of two things...training or sending untrained soldiers into combat. Either way...doesn't matter. In addition, we'd have allies if it came to it.

going by that logic india would have a pretty handy military if we're taking the number of people technically available for military service as a concrete figure for army population... what a silly argument
