Something interesting to think about a war with China is the amount it would cost and the number of troops it would require.

If you use the current Iraq war as an example, China has roughly 50 times the military that Iraq does (or did have) in both spending $ and troops.

There are currently 130,000 soldiers in Iraq, and Bush recently received $87 billion to pay for the war in Iraq.

Considering that since China has 50 times the military that Iraq does (or did have), you could assume that a similar war with China would cost 50 times as much and would require 50 times the number of troops.

50 x 130,000 = 6.5 million troops required

50 x $87 billion = $4.35 Trillion to pay for the war
