Oh you are being serious. Size of standing army means nothing! The quality of their training, quality of equipment and belief in their purpose is what matters. Just look at the gulf war against Iraq. At the time of that Iraq had the 4th largest standing army in the world. The U.S. Was around 6th or 7th in size. How did that go. The coalition lost 187 troops Iraq probably around 400,000. They had the size but under trained under equipped and did not have a belief in what they fought for. My point in all of this is that the size of the force does not matter.
