depends on what you mean by biggest.

If your talking about military strength (ability to do damage), its different than pure military size (number of people).

Two that definatly aren't on the list are Japan and Germany. Japan technically has no military (just a small self defense force--they rely on allies for defense). Germany has been reluctant to have any large military since WWII.

My guess for military strength is:

US
China
UK
Russia
Israel
India
Pakistan
France
South Korea
Iran

Military Size my guess is:

China
US
Russia
India
Iran
Pakistan
Israel
North Korea
UK
France

Strange I just looked this up yesterday

There are several definitions of biggest. US has the most technology and Vehicles. Russia is second largest in Navy, first in AF. China has the most people. N. Korea has the largest reserve force. Iran produces the most RPG launchers.

There are also several versions since this changes every year.

Try google.

As I remember it is these countries: (this is more than 10)

China
India
N Korea
S Korea
Pakistan
USA
Isreal
Vietnam
Turkey
Iraq
Russia
Germany
Iran

Biggest force could have several definitions. If you are talking about overall destructive force then it would be the countries with nuclear weapons and the capabilities to deliver them to any enemy. Below is my guess and it is just an opinion.
1. US 5.France 9. North Korea
2. UK 6.Israel
3. Russia 7. India
4. China 8. Pakistan
