Oh, and yes, the US is the strongest military in the world. The only country who comes close is China, and they don't even have a white water navy so that makes them utterly worthless. Perhaps you missed what the US military has done in the past twenty years - We invaded countries and QUICKLY removed entire governments with very small losses.
