10 Countries with the Largest Armed Forces

Even with diplomacy being the backbone the international scenario nowadays, countries find the need to spend a sizeable percentage of their annual budget on the military, and for good reason. It’s called preparing for the worst. A look back at history reveals that disputes have seldom been settled on paper. With tensions peaking and ebbing unpredictably on several fronts and terrorist factions emerging within countries all over the world, the military is always in need of more able individuals. And though numbers may not win a war, they certainly matter.

good post! though army numbers are important its technology can have a advantage over number like in the case of Israel
Hehehehehe

The number of soldiers is nothing. NOTHING. It’s all about atomic power. And when it comes to that, well the top 10 becomes a bit different. France, for instance, is the 3rd atomic power in the world.

The Quality of the Armed forces matter. Equipment and training decides the fate. Spirt and enthusism priorities. demand of the borders keeps them fresh and fighting. Ruthlessness becomes the tradition, if not checked by the world.

The number of soldiers and technology (atomic power) can never matter but only spirit and patriotism,
just think about our Islamic battle GAZWA-E-UHAD, in which muslims were only 313 infront of 10,000 soldiers of nonmuslims.
