| #1 US Manpower 145M? They must be counting male population 18+. The same concept of throwing in coastal defense small boats in with the overall count of warships. One big false picture created by bean counters. Training, leadership, maintenance, projection, et al. It becomes a little more difficult and subjective when you stop counting noses and tubes. BTW, the American defense budget includes retired pay and retired medical which other countries transfer on their bookkeeping to other agencies. |
