The U.S. spends 10 times more money than the next country, China. There is only .006% of the U.S. population fighting in Iraq and Afghanistan while 2-3% of the U.S. populating is in prison. The death rate per 100,000 civilian males between the ages of 20-44 is higher than the death rate than the military men serving in Iraq and Afghanistan. No other country has anything near the kill-survival ration and the U.S. military.

best equipped yes will to fight and morale umm NO
you can have the best or poorly equipped military in the world but it all comes down to the real deal who is strong and willing enough to fight during the vietnam war the NVA and VC were the best army in the world the US Army would have stayed there for another 3-4 decades and still lost the war.

Best equips: yea, best ppl: whether in numbers or in bravery or determination. NO.
remember when they got kicked *** in vietnam and in korea by the chinese?
at those times PRC only had " the rice and the rifle" and the US had "airplanes and cannons" still the US got kicked *** badly. Because why? Their soldiers SUCK!
Now the chinese army strengthened both in numbers and in tech (top 3 in equip). imagine the US not being kicked.
The chinese military is the best

By far yes. When you go to war you are not looking for a fair fight and nobody gets one fighting us. Iraq had the third largest army in the world I think it was third. Saddam's republican guard was 80,000 men and we tore through them like they were nothing.

We have the most expensive, and as dedicated as the best of them as far as the rank and file goes.
We have a lot of expertise going to waste, and a lot of waste going into profiteers pockets, that's the political side, and has always been so.
We have the worst commander in chief in the last 80 years, or more.
