Germany. I mean, presuming we cower, and don't launch any offensive operations. And no nukes.
Heck, forget it. We're not that great.
GO BARTIX!
Seriously though, Germany and Britain have the best training for their soldiers in the world.

Hard. Very hard.
The quality of a soldier is hard to judge. If you're talking about the best of the best, the USMC can kill just about anyone alive today. However, if you're speaking of relative standing army, Germany and Austria give the US army a run for it's money. Their training is very good, mainly because they have so much time to train in. I can't really answer this question, though.
Why do you hate Freedom?
The US is marching backward to the values of Michael Stivic.
NeonGod for teh win!
The Irish Army , it has never been defeated and really put on an impressive show in Saving Private Ryan and Braveheart .

Or how about the Irish Brigades that fought in the Civil War, probably the largest immigrant group that fought on the side of the Union. (But I can't remember for sure right now.)
O well, seems like 'some' people decide to ruin a perfectly valid threat. Nice going guys... doc bean
When you say 'who has the best army', do you mean 'the most powerful army' (which would be America, no real debate there), or do you mean 'best army' in the sense of best trained and equipped, in which case we have a debate? Also, are we looking at regular armies only, more elite forces, or the army as a whole?
"Look I’ve got my old pledge card a bit battered and crumpled we said we’d provide more turches churches teachers and we have I can remember when people used to say the Japanese are better than us the Germans are better than us the French are better than us well it’s great to be able to say we’re better than them I think Mr Kennedy well we all congratulate on his baby and the Tories are you remembering what I’m remembering boom and bust negative equity remember Mr Howard I mean are you thinking what I’m thinking I’m remembering it’s all a bit wonky isn’t it?"

You would have to go with the Army as a whole - just based upon the question asked.Originally Posted by Marcellus
Well my extremely baised vote is of course the United States Army.ok who as of today has the best army?
But I also would be place China a close 2nd - for many of the reasons already mentioned. What they lack in equipment and training they more then make up in numbers.
