Seriously,
America's army is at least ONE of the best armies,
but since china and russia are so big
there infantry and technology should be growing at a faster rate then Our's (U.S)

This is a very subjective Question,this question could be interpreted in different ways. If it is asking about the most powerful conventional army in the world, most would say the US. However, many FAQ Farmers interpreted the question to be asking for a subjective opinion on the "best" military. Many people said the armies of their own nation were the best.....
so their is not exact answer for it

I dont know if "best" should be applied to any Army... US Army is one of the most powerful armies in the world.... I dont think anybody can argue with that...
Just in case anybody is gonna start throwing stones about the Taliban holding the US Army at bay, the rules of engagement and the politics are a bigger threat to the US Army then the Taliban... Freakin rediculous the hoops they have to jump through....

It is very-very dificult question. As for me I think, Israeli army is the best. But I think that very important factor is soldiers personal combativity (that which is inside of every soldier). I want to say few words about our Ukranian army. Almost all we have - is soviet-made and it was made before 1990. Our airborne jumps with parachutes made 20 years ago, they repairing them by themselves - it is very dangerous to use them, but our guys jump with them, because it is a tradition that our paratroopers are fearless (maybe someone can say that it is dumb, but we have not money to buy new stuff). We (navy SpOps forces) use insulating aqualungs IDA-54 made in 60-s. Their resource is 20 years (they were to be replaced in late 80-s but USSR already had financial problems in that time). To dive with that stuff is to play "russian roulette". But we do it. And how do you think many people can serve in Army, when their sallary is $250 per month (like I have with 13 years of service, rank- major) while prices in Ukraine are little bit higher then in USA??? But we are not crying, because we are soldiers and we would fight untill die if it necessary.
And if in some army soldier has military laptop, gps, satelite phone, wireless field internet, StarWars-laser shotgun, but he unable to fight untill somebody bring him his military Snickers-bar - then it is not good army.
So I think that main factor is what is inside you.
And as for me, this question hasn`t answer.

to be soldier is not a funny trip for homeboys who wants to see world and to play with weapon. Soldier should be smart and brave and he should be steady.
About the lemon... If you think that person who likes his job is a lemon.... I don`t even know what to say.
Or you serving in army just because of some social benefits?? But if war happenes??? What would you do. There a lot of guys who think they are soldiers, but they don`t even know how does it feal to be at war... When you try it, you`ll understand.

The Israeli army use to be a great army. Recent years have shown its weakness's though. It relies too heavily on a part time element that well quite frankly fell flat on its face in the Lebanon. The Israeli army would last as long as the Polish army of 39' if it had to fight a European war.

as far as "best" army, i would have to say its a tie between the armies of EVERY nation in regards that an army SHOULD be ranked on their willingness to defend thier own counrty and EVERY army strives to do that to the best of their abilities, except maybe the French, j/k
most powerfull, the US, hands down.
most heart would probably go to a out dated podunk country trying to hold their own
endurance i guess is isreal since they've been fighting since their creation against the same enemies
most of this is based on idea from the media and is simply an opinion for those wanting to tear it apart due to lack of facts. if you disagree, by all means, feed the conversation.

Israel only exists because the US backed them up, militarily and financially. It's in effect a European state transported to the middle east due to the holocaust. More than 50% of them have about as much right to be there as the Soviets did in Eastern Europe..As for their army well its not what it was. The US army has more combat experience than your average Israeli soldier....

I commend you for all that you have done and will do for our country and the job you do. But it is also some soldiers' job to provide commo to soldiers like you. If we didn't have our "military laptops" or "Star Wars..." radios (or whatever was said) then you wouldn't be able to do your job in the warzone. I speak with all due respect but justy as I respect your job, the same respect should be given to other MOS' that support what you do. Thanks for listening.
