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 Canada's equipment is broke down, wore out and by in large outdated but we still get there even if we have to hitch-hike in the wrong colour clothes.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

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.

I hadn't though about it, but why not? Information can't hurt; don't like it, don't read it sort of thing, you 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...

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.

So our fleet of Bi-planes is still an effective machine of war then, the pilots will be glad to hear that.

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.

Israel - Has to be quick and effective - They could have stayed longer fighting Hezbollah - but the are causality sensitive - small population and does not matter what they do they always get crapped on

US - Force projection and the ability to use overkill - Read up on the 1st war with Iraq - The most critical man of the hour, after Stormin Norman - Tactical genius -was the General in charge of Logistics - Moved millions of tons of ammo, equipment, food - had depots in Iraq - that was a surprise - and no one knew a thing about the mass transfer taking place.

The question was country. The USMC is not a country but we know that good ol' NAVY detachment you are talking about anyway...

Most efficient is hard to pin down, there's a lot of factors to consider.
-Financial (cost to the taxpayer) can be measured by GDP or dollars per citizen?
-Technology (doing more with less manpower) The US is way ahead of most
-Firepower (Killing the enemy more than they kill you) depending on the size of the conflict and how well equipped your adversary is. In strictly a ground war the Chinese and Russia would inflict a big hurt on anyone but still behind the US.
-Mobility (getting there in the least amount of time no matter where it is) No contest the US. UK and France a distant second
-Intelligence (knowing your enemy, its culture, and geography) The UK and Russia spend more time and seem better at this.

The above is if you expect your military to be involved with more than defending your own border. War, peacekeeping, humanitarian and disaster assistance will put a lot more demands on a military.
Israel may be good in its region but they have no expeditionary capability.

If it's solely on defending your own borders than any small mountainous country would have the advantage. How would you invade Switzerland with only a few avenues in? They could defend those forever and make the aggressors pay.
Canada has a long way to go if it wants to simply defend its own borders. The Navy is in deep trouble and will need 30 or more new vessels in the coming decade or face complete rust out. Our arctic claims are being challenged and building a few patrol boats will not deter Russia, the US, or even China in the least...

Just my 2 cents for what its worth, fire away

If Canada really wanted a military that could do whatever is asked of it then the USMC would be what we should model ourselves on. They've got it all!

Depends on a large number of factors, but in terms of equipment, firepower, and global reach the USA has to be number one. Currently US weapons research equals the total military budgets of every nation except China.
