Simply put the US military is the most powerful. Why? because of all the militaries in the world we are the only country in the world that has the capability to move our forces where they need to go.
meanwhile, you are shipping reservists! to iraq and afghanistan cause you dont have enough troops otherwise.
and how many wars have you actualy won in the past 100 years? WWI? nope, you werent in it(merely sold supplies to the highest bidder, wich wasnt germany) WWII? it were the Russians that beat ******, not the US army. How about Korea? longest cease-fire ever.. The pig bay?(well I suppose that wasnt the US military though) Afghanistan? still going on. Iraq? dunno, what's that war about so how can you say you win or loose it?
You are confusing most expensive with best...
You lack basic knowledge uf the US Military. So that the US does not need to maintain a large standing Army, it does rely on reservists. War's in the last 100 years? In battle terms, World War One, World War Two, Korea (not counting the the ceasefire, the US would have went to the Chinese border and threatened nukes is the Chinese sent too many troops), Vietnam War, Grenada, Bosnia (that little place was too much for even NATO to take care of without the US), Gulf War I. (Seriously, Iraqi defenders were not worried about Egyptian tanks like they were M1's) And Al Qaeda has basically retreated out of Baghdad and into the country of Iraq and Afganistan. And the Cold War. There is a reason that there are still US military bases in Germany still. Who was the backbone of NATO during the cold war? British interceptors escorting Bears back to Russia?
As for World War One, the US was not in it? Denying that the US was not involved in WWI is like denying the Holocaust. The US had at least 2 million troops in the field and manned more miles of front than any other allied nation at the war's conclusion. The Russians barely beat H itler. For example, Russia only managed to build 900 some locomotives for their entire war effort. While fighting two war fronts, supplying England, the US built 2,000 locomotives for Russia, and then sailed them to Russia. That's just a sample of the logistics that the US supplied Russia with in addition to weapons, food, planes, tanks, and ammunition. And the US still supplied England with twice as much supplies than she did Russia.
I was gonna mention something about his misinformation too but I figured whats the point.
I will add though that in WW2 we already had most of the supplies built and ready, we just sat on our ass until Japan stirred the hornets nest. There were groups of Americans that volunteered before that however mainly with the BAF.
