Most objective experts around the world agree America has the best trained and most skilled combat soldiers of any military in existence, with the Israeli IDF and British Army being second and third. What do you all think.

I think the most skilled soldiers in the world would be those special forces from western countries who have spent the most time on active duty either with nato or the un

At the time of the American Revolution, Britain had the most skilled combat soldiers of any military in existence.

When there is no formal combat to be engaged, combat skills are not at a premium for soldiers.

America needs the best trained and most skilled DIPLOMATS of any state department in existence. Woefully, this is not the case.

A lot of people overlook Australia, we have one of the best SAS in the world, just look at Desert Storm etc, they were behind enemy lines and never suffered a casualty. Even in World War 2 Australian Diggers were the first ground forces to defeat the Germans in Egypt in the Middle East/Europe and the Japanese in the Pacific in New Guinea.
But in my opinion it is the Nepalese Gurkas, there once was an excercise with US Special Forces, and one by one the US forces were detected and captured, the US officer I/C was so proud he wasn't captured at the end of the exercise, he went to stand up to show himself and fell flat on his face, they had tied both his shoe laces together. Even the British SAS held the Gurkas in awe in Borneo (Malay conflict) and the Falklands wars
Look at US forces in Vietrnam undisciplined, Iraq, Somalia, only a conflict involving all of the worlds forces would really put them to the test, the rest is pure hypothetical.

What you will find to be the reality of this is that all of the special "units" are about on an even par. But it is more of an outstanding individual that will make one unit stand out from the crowd at a given point in time. For example during the invasion of Afghanistan it was a US Air Force Forward Air Controller of all people.

I believe that Jehovah God's army of angels are the most skilled soldiers because of his own power that he gives them, and here is why I reason this way:

Heavenly armies, in the sense of well-organized multitudes, refer not only to the physical stars but more frequently to the mighty hosts of angelic spirit creatures under the supreme command of Jehovah God. (Ge 2:1; Ne 9:6) The expression “Jehovah of armies” occurs 283 times in the Hebrew Scriptures, first at 1 Samuel 1:3, and twice its equivalent is found in the Greek Scriptures. (Ro 9:29; Jas 5:4) In discussing the angelic warriors, such military terms are used as “legions,” “war chariots,” “horsemen,” and so forth. (2Ki 2:11, 12; 6:17; Mt 26:53) In size, the camp of Jehovah’s invisible armies includes “tens of thousands, thousands over and over again,” of war chariots. (Ps 68:17) As a fighting force, they are invincible. “The prince of the army of Jehovah” with drawn sword appeared to Joshua and gave instructions on how Jericho would be captured. (Jos 5:13-15) One angel of these heavenly armies slew 185,000 Assyrians in a single night.

(2Ki 19:35 say’s: “And it came about on that night that the angel of Jehovah proceeded to go out and strike down a hundred and eighty-five thousand in the camp of the As·syr′i·ans. When people rose up early in the morning, why, there all of them were dead carcasses.)"

When war broke out in heaven Michael and his angels hurled Satan and his demons down to the vicinity of the earth. (Re 12:7-9, 12) Furthermore, there will be no escape when “the armies . . . in heaven” follow the “King of kings and Lord of lords” as he brings destruction upon “the wild beast and the kings of the earth and their armies.” (Re 19:14, 16, 19, 21) At the same time, however, this mighty invisible army of Jehovah gives protection to his faithful servants on earth.—2Ki 6:17; Ps 34:7; 91:11; Da 6:22; Mt 18:10; Ac 12:7-10; Heb 1:13, 14.

So what army can stand up and prevail over God's angelic warriors?
Simple, no one at all!!!

The US forces! Specifically the US Army.

The Marines got their *** whipped during the initial invasion of iraq- the 3rd Army was first to Baghdad.
