Default Nobody has the best army in the world.

Nobody has the best army in the world -there I said it, and the fact is, its true. (This is the part where everybody starts whining like the babies they are because what I said has just offended them.)

Consider this:
Every army has been defeated.

Every army is beatable.

Every army has its own weaknesses and strengths and thus can be beaten by any other army.
~O~
The American army, okay it has a lot of personel, technology and funds etc. But did you know, that alot of her young personel are inexperienced with the equipment and technology they have lying at their feet? Most don't even know how to use some of it even though they designed and made it. Some wouldn't know if they should take snow gear if they were going in the snowy mountains. And as said by a SAS captain, the Americans are too heavy reliant on technology. (ie: Vietnam, Somalia.) Which is bad, you can't be reliant on technology.

The British are human too, they can be defeated by anyone. They're not the best as they claim to be.

The Aussies can be defeated because of their such small numbers, due to drastically falling numbers in recruitment. While the defense budget remains at 16Billion and soon to head to 20Billion, their just isn't anyone keen in joining the army anymore.

I mean, c'mon guys, looking at history we all know we've been defeated. An army can be among the best, but never the best, it just can't happen.

I mean take the Romans, Greeks and Persians for instance. They all believed they were the best army in the world many hundreds and or thousands of years ago. And for a time it may have been true. But they were all defeated by an army much lesser (or higher) than it. And consider Napolean too.

The British back in the ol' red coat days were the strongest power in the world, but were defeated by the fierce Zulu Warriors in some battle. And even though they held off 4,000 of them at Rorkes Drift, the Zulu's honoured the British fighting so walked away singing. Some ****tart said that the Zulus surrendered. I mean if thats the sort of ****ed up knowledge some of you's carry...

Just remember, we can all be beaten, armies all have their glorius moments but also have their shameful and most sad of moments.

You know the only reason why we win battles is because we're always their for each other in times of war. The yanks didnt win the world wars as I know some claim true. We all won it together.

And even our leaders know, that we will stand a better chance of victory if we are there for each other. So stop the nonsense and come to the sense. Our armies may lie among the best in the world, but not the best! Every army CAN be defeated, and should be considered no better than another other.

According to Julius Caesar, the nations and armies are like individuals, go through times of being more courageous or less so, according to circumstances.

the 'disturbing' truth is that unless you went off round the world and conducted a survey,youd be debating about it 'till hell freezes over.

Somebody needs to find an official report from somewhere,so we can put this to bed.

I agree. One thing I learnt was that most armies have their moments in time. Each are differant from the other, and each great nation falls and rises. So you can see what's gonna happen to all the great nations, we will all fall. But that could be during a WW3 or something.

Did you know the Australian army is the strongest in the Southern Hemisphere (At the moment). Indonesia will pose a very serious threat by the time China rises. And there is nothing mentioned about Argentina every riseing to be any threat, even to a bird -so argy get over yourself. And we are not facist, just some new anti terrorists laws that noone agrees on, but what western country isnt installing such laws?
