The site (Global Firepower - 2012 World Military Strength Ranking) ranks countries from most powerful to least powerful by statistics (personell, land army, air power, financial, logistical, naval power, geographic, and resources).

Current ranking is as follows:

Re: Most Powerful Armies In The World Statistic Based

Is fit for military service the number taken out of the population as a whole or the military man power available? At least here in the Detroit area the first would make sense as we have large numbers of huge ass people walking around here. 30% obese my ass.

According to the op post we would kick Russia ass well everyone ass. What it dose not show is the will to fight. This is why our last indever has turned out as it has.

That is the key right there, "WILL" will offset assets every time.

They also need to take into account allied forces. Rarely does one go into war without the support of another.

The manpower ranking between China and anyone else is pretty interesting although India would give them a run for their money.

As long as we can keep the manpower from our shores we should be fine.

" there is a gun behind every blade of grass" I am going guess that if we were to be invaded ( our shores ) even the trash ie. gangbangers and such would stand up and say " not here you don't ) or I could be just dreaming.

The trash would hide like the cowards they are. They would plunder and pillage from the families of patriots that do stand up for our country. The gangbangers would be as much of a threat as an invading army.

You cannot invade the mainland United States. There would be a rifle behind every blade of grass.

It has been declared this attribution is "unsubstantiated and almost certainly bogus, even though it has been repeated thousands of times in various Internet postings. There is no record of the commander in chief of Japan’s wartime fleet ever saying it.", according to Brooks Jackson in "Misquoting Yamamoto" at Factcheck.org (11 May 2009)

"we have large numbers of huge ass people walking around here."

Cracked me up.

Those numbers look based for all out war and I bet that is the percent of the whole population.

If you count the illegals, and bet your ass they'd get amnesty and citizenship too in event of all out war, the number could be much higher since most times immigrants, illegal or otherwise, represent "strong" groups. I suppose in the event that happened, they'd earn a place at the table, in my eyes anyway.
 
Re: Most Powerful Armies In The World Statistic Based

the oil production and reserves are no good. i think our military doctrine is very much that of the german blitz. works great as long as you dont get bogged down.
 
Re: Most Powerful Armies In The World Statistic Based

Gangbangers as allies of convenience. Hmmm.

My view is that when the big boys fight, the scavengers come out to feed on both.

The 'Bangers are nobody's friends, and I don't think anything will change that.
