The greatest fighting force of all time?
820163
Waffen SS. Before you call me names, consider this:\n\nSome divisions lost over 90% of their strength in seminal battles on the eastern front, like the Demjansk pocket or before Moscow, yet still held the line. \n\nI don't know of any other force doing this. To sum it up, they never surrendered (no matter the odds) and rarely retreated (only case I know of was in 1945, facing a manpower ratio of 1:25).\n\nFinally, their exploits are well documented (as opposed to some ancient formations that might be partially legend) and they had ample opportunity to prove themselves in that titanic struggle that was WW 2 (as opposed to some ultra-special forces that engage once in a blue moon).

The answer is simple - The rest of the world.  \nThe US has never won a battle except when it was fought on the back lot of a Hollywood Studio!\nThey go on about how they Won WWII but they where just a small part of the "Backroom Staff" on the scale of things. The only good thing about US Forces, is the size of their "Expendable Resources" both equipment and grunts!\nOn the other hand, they would win a contest of "Who shouts loudest and sounds most intimidating"

You know the answers are making me laugh lol. Jesus man. Where these people are heading to. Dream on. Next thing is that we see Afghanistan on the best Special forces. Kazakhstan .. Venezuela hahahahahah\n\nI would go with either the SAS, based on the Iranian embassy hostage rescue, or the Israeli special forces, based on the Entebbe raid.\n\nThis is a very tough question to ask however It depends on context.. \nFor damage/ability-to-man ratio, I'd go with the SBS definitely. \nThe only problem is that they are around 350 in numbers, and as such, don't have that large a capability (though, all 350 are very rarely needed/deployed) in terms of number of active operational theaters. \nFor overall ability/whatever you want to measure it by, I'd definitely throw it to the Spetsnaz, if some of the things I've read about their training is true, they are damn good. They also are probably the largest, at 10,000+ men.

Achilles was a battle hardened skilful tough warrior. Perseus was agood guy to have on your side I'll admit. It would be a hell of a fight. But my money would be on Achilles. Think of it like Harry Hammelin against Brad Pitt.

that would be Gundam Zero-one from G-Wing..\n\ncoz..it's so cool and it got this buster rifle that can blow up a lot of mobile suits in one shot...and it also got a cool sword...\nand it can also turn into a conventional fighter jet which is the most awesome thing about it..

Hard to say based on the fact that each trains for specialized duty and few train for the same scenarios\n\nDelta Force - Anti-terrorism, \nSEAL's - Sea Air Land Naval Special Warfare, \nRangers: USArmy Elite Rapid Deployment Unit under the command and control of the Joint Special Operations Team (JSOT).\nGreen Beret's: Help John Wayne make movies (just kidding)  \n\nBritish SAS: Counter Revolutionary Warfare/Counter Terrorism (one regiment); Close Target Reconnaissance (two regiments)\nPriniciple special forces of the United Kingdom, The SAS is widely regarded as the finest and best trained special forces units in the world.  (SAYS WHO)\n\nFrench Foreign Legion:  various peacekeeping operations, counter terrorists activities, and in joint operations with other countries\n\nSOMEONE IS GOING TO SAY THE MOSSAD: They are not special forces, they are an intellegence agency\n\nBottom line:  I dont think you can call any one of them tougher or harder than the other.  Just ask any one of these units that have gone up as an aggressor against a trained USAF Air Base Ground Defense Unit - and no Im not kiddng. \n\nThey are all bad asses and have one thing in common: ALL ON THE SAME SIDE.

Could be.Their Air FORCE WHICH STILL HAS TIES TO THE bRITISH rOYAL aIR force (RAF) NOT too long ago beat the best USAF pilots in a training exercise over India,their Navy is very strong and their army which is very excellent in the SE aSIAN AREA CAN GIVE OUR GUYS A RUN FOR THE MONEY.tHEY BEAT pAKISTAN IN four different wars back in the 60s and 70s.Their universities are top notch and they have a thriving industry in all fields.\nAfter China, India will be a superpower in another 5 or ten years.

I would believe that the trogan war was a great battle, as far as original battle strategies. It depends on what you mean but "the greatest military battle." because there has been battle faught over time that you would even consider a battle. I believe that the best battle are faught before you even got to physical war. So you will not see these battles in history books.\n\nSun Tzu in the art of war says "Therefore, to gain a hundred victories in a hundred battles is not the highest excellence; to subjugate the enemy's army without doing battle is the highest of excellence. \n\nTherefore, the best warfare strategy is to attack the enemy's plans, next is to attack alliances, next is to attack the army, and the worst is to attack a walled city. ? \n\nLaying siege to a city is only done when other options are not available.\n\nIf you like to see more of this check this out . \nhttp://www.sonshi.com/index.html

In general, the US would count as the nation with the most capable military.  However this does not mean that we are necessarily the best at everything.  For example the Russians are considered to be the world's experts in combat in extreme winter conditions.\n\nNow one thing you have to consider is that in balance to the size of our military there is the wide range of our military requirements.  For example the US Navy is operating all over the world.  Since we have worldwide national interests - whe have to be able to defend those interests.  (Or they become somebody else's.)

there is no best unit, each is good at doing one thing, the most fit are probably the seals(as in top notch) but each specializes in something that requires different skills, therefore each can triumph in certain situations.\nNever ask which unit in the military is the best, ask which is the best in a specific situation.\nHowever, i still like the seals the best(for elite units), they do do "warm up" in 40 degree water for a 2 mile swim. then laps around on the aircraft carrier and more swim etc.\nthe largest arm of the military is the Army, with around 500,000 combat personel.

I don't know whether the U.S. has the best Army in the world.  What I do know is there is no Army from any sophisticated Western nation that knows how to fight in an urban/guerrilla enviornment.

I believe the best weapon of WW2 was a well-trained American infantryman. It doesn't matter how sophisticated the weapon, it is useless unless in the hands of a well-trained individual. America's importance on proper training won the war, not just the weaponry.
