"That Guy"

Btw, China's Military makes the US forces look like a joke. They have more soldiers than the US has citizens if I'm not mistaken.. Just a thought.
You are wildly mistaken about the size of the Chinese military, a quick look for the truth of it would have been a good idea before making statements like that
American military: 1.4m active and 1.5m reserve = ~2.9 million
Chinese military: 2.2m active and 800k reserve = ~3 million
American population: 311 million
The Chinese military is less than one hundredth of the size you are saying it is. I do get what you are saying though. A lot of people think America rules the world, and to an extent at this point it does, but it is all balanced on a ball hair.
Sorry to derail this thread a bit.
Haha yeah my bad Phog, bad statement on me.. Thats what they list on the paper reports.. What the actuall numbers are could honestly be 10-100x more than they let on. The fact that they are not officially an ally, and are constantly censoring their country from the rest of the world and vise versa should be an indicator not to put much weight on what they say they have.
This thread has officially been de-railed..
