OW! I wonder how many deaths they get per year from attention-related accidents XD.

interesting, i wonder if the crosses are photoshop'd, but the pins can be seen to leave an indent in the skin on the second picture.

But then again, i wouldn't put it past them.

lompocus you could have used better words then "crappy" i can say that about the U.S. army as well or some other country.

lame

what makes the Chinese army any "crappier" then any other army???

either way, the crosses looked photoshopped, but as with cozmo, i wouldn't put it past them.

[Warbirds]

The crosses aren't fake.  If you look at the soldier on the right, you can see it making his belt go out.

[AmPM]

You could still shop that, but its unlikely someone would make the effort.

[|-|Cozmo|-|]

^ would seem like unnecessary work, true.

Holy Shit the Army isn't fun?!

Am I the only one not shocked by this?

Well, for one it isn't entirely smart to have an army whose sole method of attack is to overwhelm the enemy with numbers and lose thousands in the process... (and they have never been able to capture taiwan, a puny country that china insists it owns) along with the fact they essentially suck when compared to the US military.

[AmPM]

They haven't tried....

[salan]

if they do try the world will be a brighter place, with a lot less humans in it... to many nukes to throw around and it would definitely start a throwing match.

[Akranadas]

It's not their 'Army' per say.

[Faltnor]

The chinese army is the largest and most well trained army in the world.

[salan]

just wait till their AMOUNT of technology catches up, they got the money to throw around... new world leader sooner or later

*cough* lol *cough*

[Akranadas]

Have a large well trained army doesn't mean much in today's world. It all about smaller armies doing more work that larger armies used to do. That and all it would take is a Air-Fuel bomb to reduced your 'awesomely large army' to rag dolls.

chinas army is not well trained compared to european forces, just GI american soliders.

[Agony]

Interesting.  A bit extreme but not horrible. Good posture preserves the spine, shoulder, and back afterall. Plus its impressive

I wouldn't say that American GI's aren't well trained compared to euro forces. Each countries army is based on different doctrines and as such trained differently. I believe (American servicemen correct me if I am wrong) that American troops are trained around tanks, IFVs and air support; rather than troops going by themselves and shooting the bad guys. So while American troops may seem that they aren't as well trained as some other armies, it couldn't be further from the truth; it's just there are trained differently.

Then again, over half of Europe 'better trained armies' haven't actually fought in an recent conflicts so it's kind of hard to judge combat performance based on no combat where as the American and others have actually been in some battles to rate their troops.

Just don't count on Norway to save you when shit hits the fan :p j/k

Oh yes, your militaries whom have NEVER seen combat in as large a scale as the United States has (for this generation anyways), who will spend 1 second taking a step and 20 minutes scouting the next step to make sure its super duper extra safe, and whom have far inferior tech, inferior methods of training, and have relied on the US to win the last two wars for you are superior to the regular US army  . I suppose spetnatz are the best force in the world now, since that happens to be the storyline to some random fictional military novel/game XD.

In all honestly, I don't understand where this thinking of "America has numbers and technology, europe has skill, china has numbers and kills by that" came into thinking. Is it that hard to realize that a single nation can singlehandedly obliterate your nation on the turn of a dime, with minimal casualties on our side and maximum casualties on your side? China against the US is essentially 100 riflemen VS a King Tiger with laserbeam MG's. Europe vs US is France vs Germany .

As far as Iraq + Afghanistan goes, the terrorists essentially are the population. We're trying to make Men out of Monkeys *points to the original afghan-ussr conflict*.

@ Akrandas: Problem is a Fuel Air bomb (based on what the public knows) often loses composition after 1 hour, resulting in a weapon that practically needs to be manufactured and deployed on the spot. Russia is supposed to have a variation on that design without the downside of having a limited amount of time before the bomb fails. Try MOABs instead .
