Who would you pick, Obviously the USA is a very big force, but if they were a smaller country with less people, how would they fair? Canada is said to have the best snipers in the world and the Brits have a very highly trained Navy Army and airforce, tje most highly trained in the world infact. Russia have brute force and Australia seem to pussy out alot of the time. Anyone have any idea?

is this some sort of joke?  USA by farrrrrrrrrrrrrrr.  theres not even any competition.  only sas even compares with us special forces, but the seals would beat them.  its all about training and techology and tactics, and guess what, the USA is the best in all 3

Pretty good assessment, the Swiss Military is huge for the size of their country. But people keep saying Israel but they fight pretty dirty which is the real reason they do well.

skidubai, you are a fucking idiot.

The harrier beating a f22? please, first off the Harrier is the product of 70s technology that has been margainally upgraded throughout the years with more advanced avionics. Your comment about the radar though exposed how little you really know about what you are talking about. The f22 and the joint strike fighter are both stealth.

Secondly, the harrier isnt even used for air superiority, its more suited to close air support, i'm sure an f-4 phantom could take on a harrier and win...

on the basis of best military- The US still has the most powerful and versatile fighting force on earth. Its not because we have the best individual soldiers, but rather our command and control, supplies and general infastructure are so advanced and precise that it makes the whole the best.

On an individual scale I would say the Israeli's have the best army and airforce on earth. Not only are they resiliant, they are so tenacious and are so motivated to protect their livliehood from their arab neighbors that they can find the motivation to be best..

The US has  by far the best navy on earth...this should go without saying

Special forces wise, SAS, GSG9, and Delta are the best, Royal Marines are comprable with Army Rangers.

Iran, Russia, or China still have nothing on the US, and would be obliterated if they ever went up against Nato.

The Russians lack discipline, motivation, and proper command and control to be an effective fighting force in a conflict against any western nation. They are a complete clusterfuck, it took them a week to completely neutralize GEORGIA, a nation with a 22,000 man army. pathetic

China....hands down. Just look at the number of solders......plus all we know about china is what they show us. Literaly they could have much much more weapons/technology under raps, just in case America pisses them off way way too much.

Nooo way buddy

Best Snipers - CANADA BITCH

Any how, I think the most powerful has to be any country within NATO because technically if one of them is attacked they come together as one force

technicly it took the u.s., canada, england, australia, new zeland, russia, who am i forgetting now?

so if it took all these countries to take out the one (well technically japan and Italy as well) wouldint that make it a rather strong army.

I corrected myself on the page before, it was an F 15 vs the Sea Harrier(Carrier Born air to air capable) and the sea harrier beat them.

The only war we have lost in recent history is that with america, and it was more of a civil war than anything(I could be wrong, i dont study american history). Im not going to argue this anymore, as i said in my first post america would win because of money being put into it compared to other countries, so lets make a list, edit my list to what you think it is, and i will come to a conclusion.

1-USA(Technology and expertise)
2-Isreal(Numbers and Technology)
3-British(Toughest Training around and expertise(Longest running army ever))
4-Russia(Nukes and numbers)
5-China(Numbers)
6-France(Effective Airforce and Navy)
7-Japan(Technology)
8-Canada?
9-North Korea(Gorilla tactics and Nukes)

all i'm gonna say is that (and i know this for a fact) any soldier in the Canadian Forces qualifies for US Rangers, which is kinda wack considering how great the Rangers think they are...supposedly they're the best of the best, so it makes you wonder just how shit the regular US soldiers are...

I do, should I get started?  I don't know if it's worth trying to convince everyone how badass just the Air Force alone is.  I recently flew in an F-35 simulator (kind of a different upgraded F-22), and after locking on to 27 targets at once, I felt pretty powerful.  A good pilot could pwn all.

Oh and who said a harrier "caught up" to an F-22?  I'm pretty sure the F-22 is one of the fastest planes in our inventory right now, and it could definitely go more than twice as fast as a harrier.  A harrier would rip apart before it got close to that speed.

Just to point it out, since I'm sure this will come up.  The US would still be superior if we matched everyone man for man.  A US pilot has thousands of hours of training by the time they become operational.  Countries like Korea need something like 100.  And the US does sell fighters to other countries (it's a great way to fund raise), but we would never sell a model that could beat our own...not every F-16 is the same...

The F-15 is still twice as fast as the harrier...so even though I missed that it still makes no sense.  The harrier is a piece, and it will soon be replaced.

Sadly, we were never at war with the iraqi army, there on our side, its the taliban were more worried about.
