Which Country Has The Most Efficient Military Force?

War is a modern day reality and will be around for a long time or until the nuclear rain of fire falls from the skies and society gets to start all over again and try to get it right next time around.

Every country has a military force and some are good and some are not so good.

The killing fields are the place where we get to see how well the government trained our men and women in the military to carry the country’s flag to fight the battle.

Soldiers fight other government soldiers and they also fight the peasants for the victory.

In your view which country has the better military where missions are accomplished in the shortest amount of time with minimum casualties and deaths.

The military is an important to any country to keep it’s sovereignty intact so is it fair to say that more tax dollars should be spent to keep a country’s military up to date?

What do you think?

I think you do not understand what a military is. To make a long story short just compare the military to a powerfull police force.

What makes one military stand out from the next is just the tools and resources that they have at their disposal to get the job done. The rest is just police work which is the same no matter where you go in any country.

So, naturally the more you spend on resources for your military the better the results. But there is no difference in job descriptions and duty because all militaries are generally the same.

The question should be "Which countrys military has the most resources?"

Efficient, or effective?

What do you mean by 'efficient'; most kills for the dollar? Least expensive? Lowest cost per foreign invasion?

Efficient ... as from phone call to field? Canada's equipment is broke down, wore out and by in large outdated but we still get there even if we have to hitch-hike in the wrong colour clothes.

I still have to say Israrel

I suppose I should elaborate:
Switzerland military;

Wikipedia

Switzerland population (approximate) = 7.6 million
Per capita net worth (approx.) = 145,000
Country net worth = approximately 1.102 trillion

I think they get a pretty good return on their money.
Efiiciency = the ratio of the output to the input of any system
The Swiss do not take part in armed conflict so attrition is extremely low.
Switzerland being a neutral countryNeutral country
A neutral power in a particular war is a sovereign state which declares itself to be neutral towards the belligerents. A non-belligerent state does not need to be neutral. The rights and duties of a neutral power are defined in Sections 5 and 13 of the Hague Convention of 1907...

, its army does not take part in armed conflicts in other countries. However, over the years, the Swiss army has been part of several peacekeeping missions around the world.

From 1996 to 2001, The Swiss Army was present in Bosnia and Herzegovina with headquarters in Sarajevo. Its mission, part of the Swiss Peacekeeping Missions, was to provide logistic and medical support to the Organization for Security and Cooperation in Europe, OSCE as well as protection duties and humanitarian demining. The mission was named SHQSU standing for Swiss Headquarters Support Unit to BiH. It was composed of 50 to 55 elite Swiss soldiers under contract for 6 to 12 months. None of the active soldiers were armed during the duration of the mission. The Swiss soldiers were recognized among the other armies present on the field by their distinctive yellow beret. The SHQSU is not the same as the more publicized SWISSCOY, which is the Swiss Army Mission to Kosovo.

Switzerland is part of the Neutral Nations Supervisory CommissionNeutral Nations Supervisory Commission
The Neutral Nations Supervisory Commission was established by the Korean Armistice Agreement signed July 27, 1953, ending the Korean War...

(NNSC) which was created to monitor the armistice between NorthNorth Korea
North Korea, officially the Democratic People's Republic of Korea , is a state in East Asia, occupying the northern half of the Korean Peninsula. Its capital and largest city is Pyongyang. The Korean Demilitarized Zone serves as the buffer area between North Korea and South Korea...

and South KoreaSouth Korea
South Korea, officially the Republic of Korea and often simply referred to as Korea, is a country in East Asia, located on the southern half of the Korean Peninsula. It is neighbored by China to the west, Japan to the east, and North Korea to the north. Its capital is Seoul, the second largest...

. Since the responsibilities of the NNSC have been much reduced over the past few years, only 5 people are still part of the Swiss delegation, located near the Korean DMZ.

Um, a country's military is whatever the country wants it to be. Canada mainly uses its military for peace keeping. N Korea's is used for aggressive purposes (sometimes against N Koreans even) besides defense. A few African militaries are used for squabbling with neighbors. And so on.

You can have the best marchers with the best aims and the best equipment on the planer ... and it all means shyte if none of them don't know enough to duck without orders ... like people who've been there know.

Like I said, the attrition rate for the Swiss military is extremely low. They've been ducking conflicts for quite a while. That having been said, I wouldn't piss them off.

Yes. And they will all agree, it's the #1 rotten game to be playing in.

Not worth comparing...

I've been trying to stick to the topic. It isn't working. Enough with this thread.

It seems like a loaded question, the ones who spend the most time, energy, and money should be the most efficient. The most efficient country would be the one that needs to spend the least on defense in that in most cases the 'purchases' wear out from age before they are used for their intended purposes, killing an 'invader'.

Lebanon, humiliators of the IDF, which actually runs more than they fight and perpetually hides behind women and little children. Sure they can pour phospherous on schools and hospitals but the world will soon see what kind of gutless cowards they really are.

Um, if you don't use something, you won't wear it out. If it ages, it just ages.

Sorry guys and gals, but the wrong question was asked. "Which Country Has The Most Efficient Military Force?" Which country has the finest military force in the world, and that would be The United States Marine Corps. No more questions, you are all dismissed. :smile:
