I thought this section was called answers but aelnet10 decided to make a statement.
Anyway, best equiped is a no-brainer. The US can project its power and fight a conventional war like no other nation on the Earth...probably no five nations on the planet. Even a modern Western power like the UK relies on the enormous resources of the US when it goes to war (basing and transportation in Afghanistan and massive fueling and airbase construction logistics in the Falklands)
Training is a different story as there are probably better trained forces or at least elements of those forces.
Many European armies are thought to be as well or better trained, but that is one of the by products of having relatively small armed forces (thanks in part to US defense spending)
The British and Germans (as well as other smaller European nations) have the best special forces and the Israelis have a great conventional army and a superior air force (they both get lots of "practice"

i'm probably going to get crapped on for this, yet i don't think of this might nicely be a runaway victory for the U. S.... only seem at our foreign places conflict song checklist. the Spanish-American conflict is the only one wherein we've been useful. the worldwide Wars can not actually matter variety by way of fact the U. S. joined on the very end of the two after all people else had depleted factors and guy skill. Korea replace right into a stalemate and our forces in Vietnam lost outright. the 1st Iraq conflict replace right into a breeze, yet we are having a a lot harder time this time around. i do agree that the U. S. is the main technologically stepped forward, nevertheless. we did create the 1st atomic bomb (in spite of the reality that we've been making use of German scientists) and it took years for the different u . s . a . to replica one. from a technologies stand element, i think of we are nevertheless years only before all people else. while the subsequent worldwide conflict starts off up, and that i be attentive to the U. S. would be appropriate in the midst of it, we will see if our status forces are as solid as we predict of they are...

First off someone is over using the thumbs down option on this question.
Next I would have to say that over all it would be the United States Military. Based on the Number of men in the Field and I have no doubt in my mind that we could fight and win 2 major wars at the same time (Iran & North Korea while still in Iraq / Afghanistan, That is our mission statement) If we did it would suck and no one would be rotated back to the states at all but we could do it. The actions that are going on in Iraq and Afghanistan in a normal war would not effect the ability of the army and would be considered rear area disruption.
The US Military has never lost a battle in the last 50 years, and has never lost a war. The US State Department and Politicians can not say the same.
The question is about the military and the US has the best over all.
Now if numbers have nothing to do with it, and Man for Man who is the best trained best equipped..... That I do not know, but I do not think it would be the US. Maybe Switzerland?

rprich36, arming the thickest bunch of idiots on the planet with the best warfare machinery does not make the US army the best. If they are "so" good then why are they loosing a war against a rag-tag bunch of nomads in Afgoonistan??
Also, the Iraq war was officially "won" 3 years ago, so why are US droops still coming hope in body bags??
Infact, every war effort they have undertaken since WW2 has resulted in the Yanks NIL, small nomadic country WON!
REASON: lack of training - training doesn't just mean teaching them to pull the trigger, but also using their brains, something the yanks know not how to do!
The best army is one that wins most of its efforts, how many do you know of that have done that consistntly??

I wasn't going to comment on this thread until I read this:
"The US Military has never lost a battle in the last 50 years, and has never lost a war."

The only two defining forces that have ever offered to die for you was Jesus Christ and the American soldier.
One died for you soul and the other for your freedom.
Never forget God and Country!
