Answer 4

I know the USA has the strongest Military, follow by Russia, Israel, China, Germany, UK, Iran, South Korea, India, and France.

I cannot site a credible source for this, but I do watch the Military Channel constantly.

I do know that the USA, Israel and Russia are the strongest as the USA and Russia possess the most amount of weapons, and nuclear devices; while Israel is just a Military country as everyone is designated to serve the country. They also have some of the most experienced war veterans, technology, weapons.

Answer 5

All right well I'm too lazy to look up all my notes from last semester but I can tell you with out a doubt, that America has the strongest military and more weapons that any other country in the world. We have more weapons in the US than all the other countries combined. Of course, due to the mass proliferation of nuclear weapons during the Cold War, Russia is in a close second.

When talking about "man power" it's harder to tell who is stronger. Israel has a very powerful military because participation is mandatory, but US has a potentially very powerful military because the draft can be put in place. It's really up to the population and discretion of the states leader that determines how powerful a military can be.

Answer 6

Not very many. I can only think of only 4 or 5. This also include us. Oh, wait. Not really, we don't have any means of defending our country at all if say South Americas and/or China and Korea decide to attack us. Most of our troops are in the Middle East fighting terrorists. Good enough, yes?

Answer 7

Everyone else answered the easy military part of the question.. so i decided to answer the David Letterman part...

(cut and pasted from wiki)
Many frequently invited guests have gone on to become favorites of the show, displaying an on-air friendship with Letterman that sets them apart from the more typical interview subjects. Perhaps most prominent among these are Charles Grodin and Regis Philbin, who will often playfully bicker with Letterman about their respective personal relationships. Philbin has made more appearances on the Late Show than any other guest in the show's history.

Other notable guests include Bonnie Hunt (with whom Letterman co-produced two short-lived sitcoms), Bill Murray (who has the distinction of appearing on the first episodes of both Late Night and the Late Show), Marv Albert (who had the most Late Night appearances), musical group Foo Fighters (whom Letterman had personally requested to perform during his first show after heart bypass surgery in 2000), and Warren Zevon (who was featured as the only guest in his final appearance prior to his death in 2003).

Some guests, particularly Murray, Tom Hanks, Steve Martin, and Bruce Willis, will often take the effort to accompany their appearances on the show with a pre-arranged routine or bit (such as when Willis put dots on his face to satirize Dick Cheney's recent hunting incident), or will appear elsewhere in the show in a skit. Martin Short will often conclude his interviews with a comedic musical number on stage.

Other favorite guests who have frequently appeared include Drew Barrymore, Matthew Broderick, Tom Brokaw, Harry Connick, Jr., Penn & Teller, Elvis Costello, Billy Crystal, Jack Hanna, Paul Newman, Sarah Jessica Parker, the late Tony Randall, Julia Roberts, Ray Romano, Isabella Rossellini, Amy Sedaris, Jerry Seinfeld, Martha Stewart, Howard Stern, and Robin Williams.

Some of Letterman's personal comedian friends who have often appeared on the show include Jeff Altman, Tom Dreesen, the late George Miller, Bob Sarlotte, Jimmie Walker, and John Witherspoon.

R.E.M., who were inducted into the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame in March 2007, made their international television debut on Late Night on October 6, 1983, just three years into their career (see here). To date, they have appeared on Letterman's show six times.

Answer 8

The answer to both questions is Regis Philbin.

Answer 9

i would guess:
U.S., China, Russia, Israel, UK, Germany, France, south Korea, india, italy
