The average National Guardsman/Reservist is better equipped, better trained, and better taken care of than your active duty Russian or Chinese soldier. This is not up for debate, I'm afraid.
Yeah, your right.
But your not taking into the understanding that an American Civilian is a weak minded, obese consumer.
Where as the Chinese, and more specifically the Russians are a little more in tune with their..
.. animal and fighting instincts.

Wow aren't you an ignorant one. I would suggest for you to read a history book about how smaller and less advanced armies have overcome the odds and won but with your tone I don't see the point.
Yea you guys probably are the number 1 military in terms of technology and hardware but that doesn't guarantee a victory.
And yout ignorance towards my country is disgusting. We most certainly do not rely on America and although we may not have the largest or most advanced military we are often assigned some of the toughest tasks.
Take world war 2 and Afghanistan for instance. And we are statistically more active than americans. We are a peaceful country until you piss us off and if a country ever invaded you can bet all our citizens would put up one heck of a fight, we are tough people.

China is definitely not "THE" superpower. Their cutting edge weapons being unveiled have finally caught up with our 20 year old common technology, and despite popular opinion we don't owe them a very large percentage of our national debt. We owe the vast majority of it to ourselves, and after that Japan ranks #1. On top of all that, North Korea already had the largest standing army in the world, so a few more Chinese infantrymen really makes no difference, and our Carrier groups do not care how many men are on the ground, because they are 100 miles offshore lobbing million dollar weapons at their targets.
If the article is true, it is concerning that China has chosen this approach instead of reigning in the NK government, but most diplomatic news is saying the opposite. It is more likely that any Chinese troops in NK would be there to watch the NK government and assist the US in keeping a lid on things in the region.

We have the largest percentage of privately owned firearms and presently the most experienced vets. They'd have to get past our active military then past our National home defense then deal with the most heavily armed civilian populace on the planet.
That's if of course we didn't nuke them first. Besides why would China or the US want to turn Canada into a massive battleground? Because that's where it would be fought most likely in their conventional invasion.
US resistance would make Vietnam, Iraq and Afghanistan look like a side show........

Not likely. Don't underestimate us.
As to video games. I played them all my life. Then I decided to try our paint ball. I went for 7 hours without getting shot. My first time. Evidently, the other team was from S Korea. Ironic.
However, let me assure you. Video games ARE experience.

It's estimated that 5-10% of the US population hunt wildlife a year. That alone makes quite a formidable number of firearm-savvy, Starbucks slurping, Call of Duty players.
