Here's a reason I agree with Fox.........

So why? Because Iraq is in the list?
I think if you look at that link closer you will see that the original post is pretty close to correct the US "Army" is listed as roughly 500000 Active duty personnel, what it doesn't take into account is the Navy, Air force, Marines etc. basically the original information is seemingly only looking at the "Army" branch of the military.
Then why even bother making this thread? US doctorine doesn't have the Army fighting alone, the US has Joint-Operations. What is the point of pointing out the Army? Besides, why only count active duty?? Why not reserves?
I mean the US Navy alone is no questions asked top. With England following in second. 12 aircraft carriers does kinda push it up there.
This is nothing more than pet your countries military ego thread.
Dont look at me I never created the thread I just pointed out that the information was correct based on both of your sources, personally I would be happy that he didn't include reserves or the resulting numbers would have been even less flattering.
As far as pet your country countries military ego threads go I can't see a problem there either as 90% of the threads on this board do exactly that.
No....that's not it.
So why? Because Iraq is in the list?
no, because Turkey is in the list. And it is an old map may be from the 1980s. Iraq doesn't have any grand army any more. It's gone. They have a few regiments or brigades. thats all.
