I don't get it, where do you people keep digging up that military personel? It seems like half your population is in the army. Is it so that everybody knows atleast 1 person in the army in the US? Can imagine it has to be, you guys have a HUGE army lol

Total military personnel on September 30, 2003, was 1,434,377. This means that 17.6 percent of U.S. military forces were deployed on foreign soil at that time.. assume we sent another 8-10% to iraq/afghanistan we still have 75% or so of our troops at home. I think our military is at around 1.7 million people now, im not totally sure on that i couldnt find any recent numbers on it. China's army is at 2.5m (largest in the world)
