U.S has the most powerful army in the world??

Question

You lost to a bunch of "monkeys". Iraq barely had an army and yet the U.S lost.

Oh please, don't try to use Syria and Iran as a scapegoat for losing. You claim that they send in troops to help Iraq but we all know that isn't true.

U.S has to be the most over rated country in the world.

Answer 1

We lost the minute we stepped foot in Iraq. There never was a "win" option, only a lose option. You cannot win a "liberation" with military force against people not wearing uniforms. This is the biggest blunder I have seen the U.S. pull in my over fifty years of living on this earth. The truth hurts sometimes.

Answer 2

I think everyone knows the answer to this question. An Interesting Fact.

The Army is currently undergoing a period of transformation, which is expected to be finished in 2009. When it is finished, there will be five geographical commands which will line up with the five geographical Unified Combatant Commands.

United States Army Central home-headquartered at Atlanta, Georgia(state)
United States Army North headquartered at Fort Sam Houston, Texas
United States Army South headquartered at Fort Sam Houston, Texas
United States Army Europe headquartered at Campbell Barracks, Heidelberg, Germany
United States Army Pacific headquartered at Fort Shafter, Hawaii

Answer 3

For third-generation warfare, as it began in WW II and developed partly in Korea and later in Iraq twice, the U.S. has no competitor. Unfortunately, we're now in a fourth-generation war, and it's a problem, at least for the time being. The U.S. Army is about half the size it was a few years ago. When we scaled back, we cut down to only those soldiers we'd need for third-generation war, and a few for cyberwar, according to the concept delineated in the Joint Vision papers published by the Pentagon, leaving little capability for this kind of war on this scale. Our track record in fourth generation war is pretty mediocre, but before you gloat too much, keep in mind that the American military have a tradition of starting poorly but learning and adapting. Don't count your chickens before they hatch.

Answer 4

We do have the most powerful army in the world. We also had the most powerful army in the world during the entire Vietnam war. It is difficult to impossible to win a war against radical ideology in a country whose people do not support you and don't want you there.

Answer 5

Democratic people do not abuse their power. The U.S. has the capability of blowing any country or countries off the face of the planet. But then we would not be demonstrating what a real educated democratic government does. Our leaders believe they can talk and rationalize with middle eastern leaders....but leaders in the middle east and their followers are so blinded by their beliefs they can't even put their hatred aside. What is so wrong about living in a world were everyone is free and can do as they please.......

Answer 6

the u.s is destroying iraq, my brother just went there and i have seen videos, iraqs people are dieing by the thousands every week. in no way has iraq one, saddam has beed capured by the fourth infantry division and his sons have been bomed. u.s military bases have been placed all over iraq. I do not support the war but i know what i see, and i see that iraq is being desroyed, and i see america owning it soon.
You should check your information. i do agree with america being over rated, americas crap stinks just like any other country, the only difference is that the U.S is the most powerfull richist, most well trained army in the world and if you do not think so you are miss informed

Answer 7

lol. US currently has the strongest country in the world. Although China will beat them in a matter of years (4 million man army, another 3 in reserve). The only reason why it seems like we are losing Iraq is because we are occupying it. Other wars like WWII, they didn't occupy, they just conquered and forced the axis to submit. Now the US. Government is just occupying a country who has a lot of internal wars such as the religious ones that are going on right now. Trust me, if we were to invade with a intention to obliterate, you would think twice about how over rated this country is.

Answer 8

We lost? Wow, I havent seen it on the news. I thought we even captured Saddam and helped put together a democracy in Iraq. I could be wrong though. I also thought we caught some major terrorist heads too. Again I could be wrong. You know more than me. I am always wrong, no matter what. I guess dealing with Iranian spies and Syrian terrorists, along with terrorists from Lebanon should not complicate the situation. Take a look at our military. Do you feel insecure? Look at the French military. Now look back at our military. Now do you feel secure? Thank our soldiers, dont discourage them. The media does a bad enough job already.

Answer 9

THATS STRANGE. THE MEDIA TOLD EVERYONE WHAT A POWER SADDAM WAS IN THAT PART OF THE WORLD AND WE WOULD HAVE A REAL FIGHT ON OUR HANDS...ALL ABOUT THEIR HUGE ARMY, THE REPUBLICAN GUARDS, THEIR HUGE MODERN AIR FORCE, WHY EVERYONE WAS AFRAID OF THEM IN THE MIDDLE EAST. OUR MILITARY WENT THRU THEM LIKE CRAP THRU A GOOSE AND FOLKS STILL ARN'T CONVINCED.
REORGANIZED AND WITHOUT TIED HANDS BEHIND THEIR BACKS, TWO DIVISIONS OF MARINES COULD WALK ACROSS THAT COUNTRY IN TWO WEEKS AND ITS OVER. SAME THING AS NAM BUT THE POLITICOS WONT LET THEM DO IT. AS IMPRESSIVE AS THEY WERE IN THE IRAQ WAR, NO ONE HAS SEEN THE POWER THIS MILITARY CAN EXERT. THE PROBLEM IS, OTHERS IN THE REGION MAY MAKE THE SAME MISTAKE AS SADDAM. THEN THEY WOULD HAVE SOMETHING ON THEIR HANDS THEY COULDNT GET OFF----US. IF YU WANT TOTAL VICTORY WITH NO HOLDS BARRED, THAT WAR IS OVER...QUICKLY AND DECISIVELY. IT WOULDNT BE PRETTY BUT THE PROBLEM WOULD BE SOLVED. IT JUST DEPENDS ON HOW MUCH POWER YU WANT TO EXERT.

Answer 10

The U.S. has the most expensive military in the world. I wouldn't say it's the "best." We spend more on our military than all other nations - all others - combined. That's sad. Because spending for the military comes at the expense of social and infrastructure programs, like health care, roads and cities, education, and other programs that could greatly benefit society at large. I'd rather have nationalized health insurance in the U.S. than an oversized bloated military.
