The quality of armed forces of the world ranges from frighteningly good to terrifyingly awful.

The countries represented by these world armed forces run the gamut from dear friends to uncompromising enemies.

The United States maintains a significant technological edge over most of the armed forces of the world.

There is a significant difference in the capabilities of an American soldier, upon whom the American taxpayer spends an average of $243K per year, and a $19K/yr Chinese soldier.

Perhaps even more importantly, the United States maintains a significant edge in troop training over the armed forces of hostile states.

As a military strategist, is is important to maintain a good knowledge level of all of the armed forces of the world. The armed forces of our nations enemies must be continually monitored for potential weakness. The armed forces of the friendly nations of the world must be constantly communicated with to ensure that when we go to battle together we do so in the most coordinated manner possible. Only through effective coordination can friendly casualties be held to the absolute minimums.
