Al Qaeda, by far. They brought the most powerful nation in the history of the world to their knees. Can you imagine what they could do if they had funding and resources like us.............The Chinese army is also scary.

China! Japan jointly dev missle defense w/ US, opened embassy in Taiwan, working on treaty to deploy combat forces alongside US in defense of Taiwan. Taiwan just dropped reunification cmte to huge PRC protest. Much more. Recall our lost navy spy plane/crew, Japan just chased a PRC sub out of their waters, PRC def buildup, ROC buyingg subs w/ US foreign aide. Cold war is started & the navy trains for a hot one.

Russia, they have 960,600 active duty and 20 million in reserve, they could roll on us with no problem if they werent afraid of nuclear retaliation. I'm a patriot and love the USA, but we seriously need to strengthen our forces in case they  decide to invade us one day. We may have better technology, but that doesnt make us invincible. If you would like to compare Russian and Chinese military forces, here are a couple links that show accurate information on their military forces.

Yes, the UK is generally considered to have the second strongest defence forces in the West. Their navy is much stronger and has been for centuries, their army was the second biggest contributor to both Gulf Wars and their air force is superior. The UK ranks 3rd on muilitary expenditure behind the US and China, 2nd on military projection capability behind the US and 2nd on military science adnd technology.

The US is by far, number one in almost every way. Number two is where the real debate is. You could argue China because of shear numbers if nothing else. Russia still has a formidible defense, although their technology is way behind. Britain could make a good arguement for being number two, especially since their navy is top notch. Israel probably has the second best air force (and in some ways their air force may be the most technologically advanced).

The United States by far.   Presently the USA has troops in 156 nations.  It has bombed 42 nations, and has been in constant war since 1787.

The question was not the "largest"... the asker's question was "strongest".\n\nBy this I can only assume they mean "most devastating in its capability" or "most effective when engaged" and that they do not mean "the military that can lift the most weight".\n\nAnswer: The United States of America has the 'strongest' military. Here's why:\n- Firepower: The U.S. possseses and controls the largest amount of destructive explosives on the planet. Bullets, dynamite, gunpowder, C-4, fuel bombs, napalm and nuclear, just to name a few types.\n- Weapons delivery: The U.S. has the most accurate, well maintained, highe-tech, widely deployed and well-run firepower delivery system on Earth. Gun barrel accuracy, naval, air, land delivery systems - all highly maintained to very stringent standards.\n- Intelligence: Despite all the joke we could make about this word and the military, the fact remains that no country has the technical and human intelligence and intelligence processing capabilities as the U.S. The NSA alone has a budget bigger than India's gross national product in 2004. Satellites, command and control, phone, internet, private internets, video communications, data encrpyion, data de-cryption, diversified Human spy assets, global corporate data, data mining, etc., etc., etc.\n- Money: no military in the world is as well funded, consistently well funded, as the U.S. Military is.\n\nIf this is the best answer, please vote it the best answer. Thanks!

The UK is the best ally although strong arguments can be made for Australia.  Israel, Japan, and Poland are strong allies as well.  Not that you asked but I'd say Canada is currently our worst ally.  France, Germany, and those ilk don't really count as worst *ally* because they are not truly allies any longer.

Japan, USA, GB, Germany, Thaiwan... and so on
