    Default Greatest Military Nation of All Time 2

    Since so many people did not vote for any of the choices in the original poll, this is an improved one, and the results are final.

    having both british and scots is not the best idea, since scots are british

    germans and prussians are also one and the same, I believe
    It was not theirs to reason why,
    It was not theirs to make reply,
    It was theirs but to do or die.

    Besides the facts that Prussians were ethnically German and that they united Germany, the Prussian military system heavily influenced the German military in both world wars.

    Good effort, but I cannot vote on this one either.

    The Prussian was at the height of its glory, the best organized, best staffed, most disciplined army in Europe. Whilst British military acheivements during the 18th and 18th centuries were quite remarkable for such a small army, I don't think the quality of the armies were quite as good as Prussia.

    must not post going to be warned

    My aim, then, was to whip the rebels, to humble their pride, to follow them to their inmost recesses, and make them fear and dread us. Fear is the beginning of wisdom.

    I am tired and sick of war. Its glory is all moonshine. It is only those who have neither fired a shot nor heard the shrieks and groans of the wounded who cry aloud for blood, for vengeance, for desolation.

    The Aborigines. I mean, c'mon, no one else in history could throw a stick, kill the enemy, and make the piece of wood return to his hand!! Must give them some credit for that.
