I'm looking at recent reports which estimate the U.S. as having 50% of the Earths Naval Forces by proportion. Good Lord. (Look at page 30 of the pdf in this link) http://myweb.fsu.edu/bbc09/Crisher-Souva%20-%20Power%20At%20Sea%20v2.0%20full.pdf

Now look at this link: http://www.military1.com/army/article/402211-how-much-stronger-is-the-us-military-compared-with-the-next-strongest-power

"We have 10 aircraft carriers. The good kind. Everyone else has 10. Combined."

"There are 8,400 attack helicopters in the world. The U.S. has 6,400 of them."

"The M1 Abrams tank has seen more combat than just about any other tank on the battlefield today. It has never been knocked out by enemy fire. (Completely killed). Ever.

China has less than 500 Type 99 tanks, that have just been developed, and are not even close to being as good as the Abrams. We have 8,700 Abrams."


People are actually underestimating the U.S. Army here.
