Why do people think that the United States military is not the best in the world overall?

Question

Why do people still think other countries military's (such as China) are stronger? I don't see how people can still deny that the USA has the strongest military in the world. Lots of troops, the best technology, air force, navy, special forces, equipment, great training, etc.

The Army might not be the best trained in the world, but they are no slouch. And the marines and special forces such as the green beret and navy seals are top notch as far as how well trained they are.. they are killing machines.

Has nobody heard of former green berets who cannot be spooked even by their own kids? Even years after they fight, when they are living at home, you cannot sneak up behind them and scare them to play a joke on them, because they will instinctly kill you without thinking. That is crazy.

The US military is no joke..

Rose Drag, look up the figures for US military spending. It is astronomically larger than the second place country. You better believe we have a lot more technology than other countries out there, including China or any other country you can name.

Answer 1

I don't know. I have always heard the opposite. Probably jealousy.

Answer 2

The U.S military is clearly the most powerful military force in the world right now. No other country has the ability to project power on anywhere near the scale as the U.S.

Saying that.... I don't think the U.S is stupid enough to get involved in a full scale war with anyone like Russia or China because that would be a no win situation.

Answer 3

A lot of people will say things about the military good bad or indifferent. It is their lack of knowledge about the military that makes people make bias comments. But when these same people get their behind in a jam and they think they are going to be killed by some unknown enemy they will scream the loudest for military support. Ironic is it not.

Answer 4

i do no longer think of there is any doubt the U. S. militia is the ultimate and that they are the ultimate knowledgeable. The remark approximately eco-friendly Berets is purely stupid. there is alot greater to being a soldier than being a killing device. the actual potential of the militia is in this is management. officers and Non-Coms that think of straight away and independantly. the concern is there are over one thousand million chinese language and any issues we've with them would be of their component to the international. There are limits on what we can do, particularly jointly as we are already engaged someplace else. talking approximately how frustrating we are does not help any undertaking.

Answer 5

No self-centred American can be half as good in discipline, training and so on as Chinese or Russian soldiers. Do you really think that other countries have worse technology? Come on, wake up. Even my little country is a NATO member.. ergo has access to anything that US has.

Answer 6

Because they can't bring themselves to say it, that's how much hate they have for the U.S.... And they say China because China has a larger Military as far as Man power.. but not as far as technology.

Answer 7

Because a lot of people hate America and are prejudice. We are the best damn country in the world PERIOD!

Answer 8

China don't scare me.
We could take anybody if we really wanted to.
Remember the Nazis and what we did to Japan?

Answer 9

2 words: Government intelligence.

Answer 10

Because they are all jelous and are trying to support their own country.
