The US has been the worlds super power for the best part of last century and has little to fear but China. Although it is unlikely that China will ever declare war on America and if they did, the days of good old fashioned camo and trenches has been replaced with the “Big Red Button”. However assuming that someone has decided it is not BRST yet and it’s time to do things the old fashioned way, there is still one problem, they are outnumbered.
US population: 298,444,215
Chinese army: 667,657,509
If each American was to fight hand to hand with 2 members of the Chinese army they would still be out numbered. Lets just hope the Americans are better trained/equipped to make up for this deficit in numbers.
Of course Inda is also big with an army of 556,075,946.

Just a little thought for you…

My sources (http://usacac.army.mil/CAC/milreview/download/English/SEPOCT05/blasko.pdf) give the chinese military capacity at about 2.3 million, still the largest in the world.
The US sits at about 1.4 million and India at 1.3.
Still, I recon it’d only take a couple dozen enraged Scots to take em all down.
