The World's Best Army?

Anyway said:
The Soviet Union tried to invade Finland 1939 and 1944 but they failed.

Red Army leadership was not good but ordinary Soviet soldier was higly skilled and brave fighter.
 
The Israeli Army. In modern times, no doubt Israelis have been protecting Israel from all fronts who claimed Jerusalem is rightfully theirs.

For a Soviet soldier it was more dangerous to retreat than it was to charge the enemy. If a Soviet soldier were to retreat he would be executed and his ****** would go to the Gulags without any rations.
 
Currently the best in my opinion:
US
UK
France
Norway
Denmark
Poland
Israel
Canada
Australia
NZ (SAS)
Netherlands

Not in any order.

Red Army had a hard discipline, but also Finnish army would punish those who retreated without permission.

Our country is so small that the retreat is not possible :ak47:
 
The only place you could retreat to was Sweden or Norway so better to stay and die rather than face that prospect
 
If 'best' means most effective fighting unit then the award has to go the Afghan mujahadeen.


They appear to have pwned the world's most technologically advanced militaries using little more than homemade bombs abd small arms.
Hardly, they lose just every engagement they enter. I just wish I could get a hold of their body count to show you. Not terribly bright fighters either, but what they are is rugged and very determined, making them extremely dangerous.
 
Or maybe the Dragons of Angband or the Army of The Valar.
 
The Republic of Korea is pretty much up there, I mean they have North Korea and their nutbag leader to contend with. I have a ****** that is ROK marine and those guys are pretty badass.
 
I thought that the Israeli army and the American army is one and the same thing.

Pretty much.

The Rey C. Army (comprised of 25 Boy Scouts and me as the general) would be pretty bad ass too, if we had the full backing of the United $tate$ of America. We'll let Lil Jimmy Joe hold the button for the nukes, since his hands are too small to cradle a rifle.
 
I vote China. Though the U.S. is right there. And I'd vote U.S. for best over-all military.

I think some of you guys picked nations that can defend themselves, but they wouldn't have a prayer if they invaded a country with a decent army.

Somebody mentioned Israel. I'm more impressed by the Mossad than I am by their army. I guess they'd be up against the C.I.A., MI6, KGB, etc.
