I support my troops, but who do you think has the most modern and effective military next to the United States? Is there another country in the world that has the technology and training to match ours? I was watching the military channel and it seems that we have no equal military wise. Is that true? What do you think? (Intelligent answers please)...

I think the only reason why governments and other groups dont mess with switzerland is because they have EVERYONES money supply. Even the people that do illegal things have money ties to them. So essentially switzerland has everbody by the family jewels, so to speak....

Israel has similar technology and training. In our era of modern warfare the size of a military doesn't mean as much as it did 100 yrs ago. The British and the French are also very capable militaries and even though Russia isn't the Russia of old, the Red Army is still very powerful. In fairness I think you have to look at many aspects, but in a nutshell I would say that the only SINGLE country that could go "toe to toe" with the US is Russia.

Its true our military effective wise is unmatched and probably will be for a while but some european countries while small are also just as effective Great Britan and Germany have very well trained and equiped militaries also Japan and South Korea have high tech forces. The french special forces are also well trained and equiped and dont over look the polish forces who are starting to break out of their Russian mold and into their own.

Effective military would have to be judged by its record of clear wins, so I think Israel comes out on top. I cannot think of any war in which the US was a clear winner, WW 1 Britain took the brunt of that one, WW2 the russians, ok the US won the war in the pacific, Korea, a draw, Vietnam - loss, Iraq - total loss, Grenada pops to mind as the shining moment for the US military.

the most effective military is the military that has more nuke so its USA and Russia as a second country
Israel is nothing one devil nuclear bomb is enough to remove it from the map
the devil nuclear bomb is a USSR made bomb have a 10 tactical war heads every head goes to different target
and Israel is nothing with out US
china is nothing without Russia
they don't have them own air force they use migs
they don't have them own tank force they use t90 and t80
they have only 10% of the nuke in the world
get serious israel and china its a long way for them
and swiser land is a peacefull country

Well China has the largest, then the U.S., then Russian, then India, and North Korea. As far as effectiveness.....I guess the only way to really know is to see them in action.
