the U.S. military is powerful enough to defeat any other.......
Military In a 1 on 1 conventional war
Inb4 people think and say that their country could beat the U.S.
[spoiler]Im sure all of you remember my thread about how the United States military is powerful enough to conquer the world, well this thread is its younger brother. Both threads are factual.
[/spoiler]
EDIT: thanks to something that someone in the comments pointed out i have edited my thread to better communicate what im trying to say.
EDIT: again i said [b]conventional war[/b] so for this scenario just pretend that there is no such thing as nuclear weapons.

They even use the military to justify destroying our freedom. It's that powerful.

3 RepliesI agree but think the one we would have trouble with is Russia. Spetsnaz don't crawl through mud for training they crawl through blood. That's actually factual didn't make it up. Well at least if a special countdown television shows sources are accurate.

Canada would send their moose army in and wreck the shit outta the US.

As an American, this thread is dumb.

5 RepliesMaybe, as long as we don't invade Russia in the winter. Oh, and if conventional war means no nukes, it should also mean no drones, in which case, we would lose.

3 Replieslol americans. always compensating

2 RepliesAll these people saying Israel and that the U.S. Can't even stop afghan. Israel is good but they don't have better military tech. Afghan rebels and terrorist groups uses meat shields to win. And russia has a big army they just can't feed it.

The usa military is strong enough to take over the world with some very good planning

4 RepliesEdited by DecrepitDragon: 3/30/2015 1:16:50 PMForty years ago, the US felt the same way you do now. And put in a very, very poor show against a "weaker" less well equipped, less trained, fewer in number force. [i](Edit: apparently, this statement of fact has upset some folks. In the interest of clarity, let me just add, I'm not suggesting that it couldn't have gone better, merely that it didn't)[/i] There are many things that have changed over the years, true, but there are still military powers out there that have the same or better training, or tech, or numbers, or organisation, or experience. Your point is invalid. The US has a very strong military. That cannot be denied. However, even the best generals will admit that success in war is [i]never[/i] guaranteed. Propaganda may say otherwise, but experience knows better.

This is a really unfair topic. American military is by far the most powerful with no close second. This sounds more like a trump thread than something legit

4 RepliesWhy does it matter? I don't understand the mindset of pro war people. You all share the Earth, shouldn't the goal be to work together and not literally destroy your world? That seems like common sense.

That post is not a natural formation. That means someone wrote it, so it must mean something

This post is retarded. Why just why?

2 RepliesI agree the U.S. military is all around the most highly trained and strongest military in the world obviously. I don't know why people say Russia or China would win? China military numbers are fabricated if a war would break out many farmers and just none soldiers would be thrown into combat with little to no training. Same almost apies to Russia there military tech is way out dated and other than there special forces they do not have highly trained forces if there was a war there would be a draft in russia and those people would not get alot of training. The standing U.S. military would win in both cases hands down. Marines the smallest part of the U.S. military not including special forces. Are trained to an extent of special forces. If we have a whole army of almost special forces soldiers. There's no competition
