Well!

I could be wrong too so I deleted its name from the list.

Pakistan is in every category.

It is a bit absurd.

lol ...... Yes Apart form Pakistanis Themself Not many outside Pakistan ranks them Much higher .......... they have a Decent Armed Forces But i don't think they Can be Ranked Ahead of Isreal , Japan , Turkey , NK or SK and many others.

Peace

I was going to ask him how he calls Paki Army an advanced one in terms of equipment.

Not to mention they still ride on MiG-17s and MiG19s

About category training.. I would say that the Kuwaity forces should come on as somewhere in the top ten, MAYBE, why, coz its trained by the US.At least the Kuwaity National Guard who go through American hell lol . Kuwait air force , is trained by one of the best airforces of the world which is the RAF, and the Kuwait navy trained by the French, OR the British.
As for NK having just ONE million, true, but guess what, they have about FOUR million reserves. Top two are China and NK then USA..
And TBA, where are u getting this info from?
And I must say gents, that we shoudnt underestimate Pakistan, as well as India, really hot there...
And as I said before, we should take the country that shows up most on that list, and in good quality..
what say u

Some questions:

What about Germany?

Is North Korea really so much worse than South Korea in quality?

Is it for historical reasons that you don't rate French troops as highly as say UK ones?

What do mean by resources? How can a country with probably the greatest abundance of natural resources in the world (Russia) be beaten by an island nation (Japan) that has a dire shortage of natural resources?
