lol Flame alert



US Forces? 2 Million? Since when, what did I miss this?

Thank you for clearing that up, but China has the potential to be the biggest, obviously.

And for quality, I think you are mistaken, the U.S. special ops forces are some of the best trained men in the world. Sure, the SpetzNas is good, but they seem to use brutality. The SEALs are some of the most highly trained forces in the world. I heard once they have lost less than 20 men over 50 years of operating. The Rangers and Delta Force are also some of the most specially trained men in the world, if you don't buy it, Look it up yourself.

EDIT: Oops, lol I was talking about the Army only lol sorry about that..my bad..

I think the number flucuates, the u.s. has both quantity and quality I believe.

A little over a million and much less then two million.

Uses brutality..

As their enemys are often much more resourceful than those that oppose the US..

Like Chechens.. they are nasty and skillful enemy..

I remember this funny thing when in Lebanon back in 80s some Terrorists kidnapped couple of soviet citizens..

Spetsnaz was rushed in..

Spetsnaz kidnapped the groups leader..

Spetsnaz cut off his head.. put it into a box..

And sended it to the remaining terrorits, with a note that said:

"Release the hostages, or else this is what will happen to you also."

And the whole thing ended happily, as hostages were quickly released..

I think that the terrorist got the message..

haha good story! But unfortunately, that isn't the way the U.S. operates..they have regulations and such that they have to follow (UN / Congress ) etc etc. That is why they usually do not use brutality. Teamwork is key

Actually, it is the most powerful. These Russian boys are somewhat envious of the U.S, but i doubt that, even they, will deny this fact.

Don't be so sure Maverick. I feel in my heart (Through track record and facts) that the U.S. is the most powerful..but whats to stop them from saying that Russia isn't the most powerful? It is kinda like football.. "Any given Sunday, any country can win a war" Well no..but that was a nice try at a simile
(I think.)

Brutality is the key!


Wasting captured terrorists is also the right thing to do.. for Russians that is..

Americans cant however do this, as they defend freedom and are the 'good guys' as they put it.. so they really cant do this..

It is right to court martial them if they do this.. as it is according to US stardards criminal to do so.. by the enemy, so no double standards for the own forces either..

Sadly this is not so IRL, as Americans kill civilians and like in Afganistan 3000+ captured talebans..



Also the whole Cuban prison camp thing is criminal by any standards..

Ok, name one country besides the U.S that has 10 super carriers. Or, why dont you name a country that has just 1 carrier, that is even close to the size of a singal U.S carrier.

France, UK, Russia, Spain, Brazil, Italy and India..

Have carriers..

Russia, UK, France and India have more than 1..

Btw,

US only has all those carries because:

You are trying to take over the world.

And that is nothing to be proud about..

I would be shamed..

Your worse than nazis!

maverik... a 2 billion carrier can be easely destroyed by sea skimming missiles like the yakhont or the sunburn on a fishing boat, think of all the equipment/men/aircraft that would be lost
, carriers are just too expensive and easy to destroy, russias Oscar II has 24 SS_N-19's for example, it can singlehandedly "wreck" havoc on an entire US CVBG

Yeah,

This is what you see in CNN..

Reality is different..

Hispanics and African americas are your troopers..

White boys are in navy and in the air force..



But the real reason why US Army is so 'mighty' is here:

You use woman as soldiers!!!

Jessica whatever.. etc..

Stop trying to mock our army out, We have the best army and so does are allies, i mean, if you have the respect to be racist and discrimigating against women, you sure are hopeless, cause in WW2, AA made over 20% of are bombing operations, and women, make up of 10 percent of our amry currently, that is 10 more fighters about to own your asses, At least we NEVER lost a war
.



EDIT: The USA never lost to a 3rd world country and FELL
