lol what shit. currently its\n1.china 2.russia 3.Uk 4.america 5.N korea\nhow can a country that cant beat iraq and was afraid of N korea be 1st? technology is there but then just like in vietnam china would throw their bodys at it and over power them. Uk is 3rd due to the fact of their training and also global support that currently usa doesnt have.

Yes, but not a very good one. When was the last time they won a shooting war without the help of the Soviet Union, Britain and Australia? I know about Grenada; I mean against a real army.

the airforce is the easiest followed by the navy. after them two is the army national guard and then the regular army (national guard tends to be less strict). then the marines would have to be the hardest and most discipline branch of the armed forces.

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.

Largest and strongest are not the same thing.\n\nIraq used to have one of the largest, and it was well equipped but frankly it was simply crap when it came to it.\n\nThe U.S has the largest and probably strongest, but after that it becomes hazy.\n\nChina has a massive airforce but the quality of the aircraft is not up to that of the U.S.\n\nRussia still has a large airforce but cannot afford to fly it (seriously).\n\nIran has a large airforce including Iraqs airforce which it stole after they hid there in Gulf War one.\n\nFrance has a large airforce, probably all aimed at the UK.\n\nIsrael, Egypt, Saudi Arabia, Pakistan and India all have large airforces, but only Israel and Saudi have up to date airframe models.\n\nThe UK has a tiny airforce, which is probably smaller in total than that allocated to the U.S marines.

Serbia.. No doubt about that. Serbia is the most powerful country in the Balkans.

no, cos the two wars they fought with the oppostion haveing air and sea power proved america can not fight a country with those capabilities, the second world war the soviets won as even the german admitted after, the pacific war ,america resorted to use two atom bombs to make the japs surrender, there is a saying, "never fight an enemy who could hit you back twice as hard"

Two strong super powers with equally strong economic power.  Competition is good for the world's markets....economically speaking.  I think the U.S. has done a very good job maintaining it's military and economic power.  Imagine what other countries would do with this power.  They would not be so giving, so sparing, nor friendly.

IMO the UK also knows that the only nation that they can truly count on if they need military help is the US.

Great Britian has lost the second most. They have lost just over 100 soldiers. They are the second largest force in Iraq with just over 8,000 troops.
