Which is the best soldiers in the world

[Mortimer]

I think American

[Ülev]

NATO soldiers

[Dna8]

The French and the Italians.

[PostOak1]

I think American

As being a US Army veteran myself I wouldn’t the USA has the best soldiers in the world. I would say that the elite troops of NATO and Anglosphere countries are the best in the world.
Rhodesia had the best in the 1970’s.
South Africa had the best in the 1980’s.
The London Crowd destroyed both those countries.

American soldiers fight for money and privileges. it is no coincidence that their army consists mainly of lowest class people (the poor, people with criminal records,..) . they even recruit immigrants on the promise of naturalization. a good soldier is one who risks his life to protect his homeland. something you cannot expect from the mercenaries.

Defeated the Avars and occupied Dalmatia. Defeated the Franks and founded indipendent Kingdom. Defeated Bulgarian Tzar Simeon when nobody else could.
Stopped Ottoman advance in Europe. Saved Vienna twice from Turks. Came farthest in Stalingrad.

Repelled every invader who came the our lands.


Napoleon is quoted as saying to general Marmont: "I never had more braver and better soldiers. Croatians, they are the best soldiers in the world. If I had only 100000 Croatians, I would conquer the entire world!"

The best soldiers to me will always be the ones who sacrificed their lives for this little country in the westernmost part of Europe. The Portuguese army, with its origins going back to the 12th century, is considered as one of the oldest armies in the world in continuity. If you ask me it has done a pretty good job, since its foundation it has managed to keep our sovereignty for nearly nine centuries and I am sure that there ain't more than ten nations from the old world that can claim the same.

VC being great soldiers or fighters is mostly a misconception... Any time they actually stood and fought they would be destroyed. Their success came from setting traps or ambushes to inflict any damage they could and then quickly escaping. That's all they really needed to do. The Germans were also being surpassed in skill and strategy before the end of WW2.

200 years of giving a lifetime service to the U.K., but yet many thousands of retired Gurkhas were sadly denied rights to live here and receive retirement support as the UK government said there were too many to fund - but yet thousands of jihadist terrorist migrants to the EU are allowed to freely live here and receive funding, due to the EU's borderless state immigration policy. :picard1: After UK independence from the EU, the UK government should get its priorities right and kick-out the thousands of jihadists who don't respect our culture and people and haven't helped our country.... and show appreciation, respect, and give financial support instead to the honourable retired elderly Gurkhas who've given a lifetime's service to our nation and who've helped our country enormously throughout history, instead of deserting them and treating them like disposable pawn pieces in chess.

Historically speaking Irano-Turkic soldiers have been the toughest proven warriors by far.

After the battle [of Gaugamela], Parmenion rounded up the Persian baggage train while Alexander and his bodyguard pursued Darius. As at Issus, substantial loot was gained, with 4,000 talents captured, the King's personal chariot and bow and the war elephants. It was a disastrous defeat for the Persians and one of Alexander's finest victories.

Darius managed to escape with a small corps of his forces remaining intact. The Bactrian cavalry and Bessus caught up with him, as did some of the survivors of the Royal Guard and 2,000 Greek mercenaries. At this point the Persian Empire was divided into two halves—East and West. On his escape, Darius gave a speech to what remained of his army. He planned to head further east and raise another army to face Alexander, assuming that the Greeks would head towards Babylon. At the same time he dispatched letters to his eastern satraps asking them to remain loyal.

The satraps, however, had other intentions. Bessus murdered Darius before fleeing eastwards. When Alexander discovered Darius murdered, he was saddened to see an enemy he respected killed in such a fashion, and gave Darius a full burial ceremony at Persepolis, the former ceremonial capital of the Persian Empire, before angrily pursuing Bessus, capturing and executing him the following year. The majority of the remaining satraps gave their loyalty to Alexander and were allowed to keep their positions. The Achaemenid Persian Empire is traditionally considered to have ended with the death of Darius.

A one-armed and partially blinded Gurkha fought off 200 Japanese soldiers, after he'd lost his arm and sight in one eye from a grenade explosion and one of his legs was damaged from the blast.

The badly wounded and heavily outnumbered but totally fearless lone Gurkha soldier then took out a blade with his good arm and fought the Japanese soldiers off using his blade. He laid wounded throughout the night and the following day whilst yelling out to the Japanese soldiers that if they want to play rough then to come near him.... and he warned them that he'd kill them. One by one, they dared to approach him over the night and following day... and he killed 31 Japanese soldiers with his blade as they came near him. When they stopped approaching him, he then kept calling out for more to come over... so he could kill them too.... but they backed-off from him in the end.

He survived, but has severe injuries.

The courageous and heroic Gurkha received the UK's highest miliatary award and honour from Queen Elizabeth II.

The British are one of the world's most flexible militaries and they have experience and knowledge and training of fighting in a whole range of climates and environments around the globe.

The British Army won't take unwanted rejects from other nations armies like the French Foreign Legion does.

There's no conscription in the UK;- they're not forced to serve against their will, and all military soldiers are there because they choose to be there out of their own choice.... and to get the chance to have free education and all the other benefits they're given in the military forces. They're kicked-out if they don't buck up.

I heard from an Irishman that McNab managed to escape from captivity across the desert, made the tough decision to shoot and kill his wounded friend who could no longer run with him, in order to protect his friend from being tortured to reveal info to the enemies who were chasing after them, and Andy McNab survived across the desert and made it out by himself, along with other harrowing things he endured.

Even his works of 'fiction' have some hidden truths that he can't publicly reveal unless names and details are changed and it's written under the guise of fiction instead.

The Special Air Service (SAS) is a special forces unit of the British Army. The SAS was founded in 1941 as a regiment, and later reconstituted as a corps in 1950. The unit undertakes a number of roles including covert reconnaissance, counter-terrorism, direct action and hostage rescue. Much of the information and actions regarding the SAS is highly classified, and is not commented on by the British government or the Ministry of Defence due to the sensitivity of their operations.

The corps currently consists of the 22nd Special Air Service Regiment, the regular component under operational command of United Kingdom Special Forces, as well as the 21st (Artists) Special Air Service Regiment (Reserve) and the 23rd Special Air Service Regiment (Reserve), which are reserve units under operational command of the 1st Intelligence, Surveillance and Reconnaissance Brigade.

The Special Air Service traces its origins to 1941 and the Second World War. It was reformed as part of the Territorial Army in 1947, named the 21st Special Air Service Regiment (Artists Rifles). The 22nd Special Air Service Regiment, which is part of the regular army, gained fame and recognition worldwide after its televised rescue of all but one of the hostages held during the 1980 Iranian Embassy siege.

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Special_Air_Service


A lot of other nations around the world now have their own Special Forces which are all modelled and based upon the British SAS (the world's oldest and most renowned Special Forces.)

They copy the British and want special forces with elite paras, intelligence gatherers, etc. The Britih SAS doesn't take any recruits, but personally selects who is suitable to apply for the role. Few applicants are tough enough to pass the endurance and torture tests prior to selection.

Below is a list of all the countries around the world who now have special forces like the British have since the last world wars. The Belgians even wear black gas masks like the British SAS, and the French have copied the British SAS motto of 'Who Dares Wins'.


Following the post-war reconstitution of the Special Air Service, other countries in the Commonwealth recognised their need for similar units. The Canadian Special Air Service Company was formed in 1947, being disbanded in 1949. The New Zealand Special Air Service squadron was formed in June 1955 to serve with the British SAS in Malaya, which became a full regiment in 2011. Australia formed the 1st SAS Company in July 1957, which became a full regiment of the Special Air Service Regiment (SASR) in 1964. On its return from Malaya, the C (Rhodesian) Squadron formed the basis for creation of the Rhodesian Special Air Service in 1961. It retained the name "C Squadron (Rhodesian) Special Air Service" within the Rhodesian Security Forces until 1978, when it became 1 (Rhodesian) Special Air Service Regiment.

Non-Commonwealth countries have also formed units based on the British SAS. The Belgian Army's Special Forces Group, which wears the same capbadge as the British SAS, traces its ancestry partly from the 5th Special Air Service of the Second World War. The French 1st Marine Infantry Parachute Regiment (1er RPIMa) can trace its origins to the Second World War 3rd and 4th SAS, adopting its "who dares wins" motto. The American unit, 1st Special Forces Operational Detachment-Delta, was formed by Colonel Charles Alvin Beckwith, who served with 22 SAS as an exchange officer, and recognised the need for a similar type of unit in the United States Army. The Israeli Sayeret Matkal has also been modelled after the SAS, sharing its motto. Ireland's Army Ranger Wing (ARW) has also modelled its training on that of the SAS. The Philippine National Police's Special Action Force was formed along the lines of the SAS.

The British SAS famously stormed the Iranian Embassy in London back in the 1980's.

Also 2 British SAS men went to Germany once to rescue a load of German passengers (including babies and children and beauty queens) onboard a plane who'd been taken as hostages by Palestinian terrorists. The plane had been hijacked from a holiday flight back from the Med. The passengers had alcohol poured over them so they'd burn quicker.

The two British SAS men got on the plane and killed all the Palestinian terrorists using their infamous double-tap method, and rescued the passengers, as shown in the video below.

The Parachute Regiment, colloquially known as the Paras, is an elite airborne infantry regiment of the British Army. The regiment is one of the most elite units in the world. The first battalion is part of the Special Forces Support Group under the operational command of the Director Special Forces. The other battalions are the parachute infantry component of the British Army's rapid response formation, 16 Air Assault Brigade. The Paras are the only line infantry regiment of the British Army that has not been amalgamated with another unit since the end of the Second World War.

The Parachute Regiment was formed on 22 June 1940 during the Second World War and eventually raised 17 battalions. In Europe, these battalions formed part of the 1st Airborne Division, the 6th Airborne Division and the 2nd Independent Parachute Brigade Group. Another three battalions served with the British Indian Army in India and Burma. The regiment took part in six major parachute assault operations in North Africa, Italy, Greece, France, the Netherlands and Germany, often landing ahead of all other troops.

At the end of the Second World War, the regiment was reduced to three regular army battalions first assigned to the 16th Parachute Brigade and later the 5th Airborne Brigade. The reserve 16th Airborne Division was formed using the regiment reserve battalions in the Territorial Army. Defence cuts gradually reduced the TA formations to a parachute brigade and then a single reserve battalion. In the same time period, the regular army battalions have taken part in operations in Suez, Cyprus, Borneo, Aden, Northern Ireland, the Falklands, the Kosovo War, the Balkans, Sierra Leone, Iraq and Afghanistan, at times being reinforced by men from the reserve battalion.

Hungarians and Croats showed themselves poorly in World War II, showed themselves poorly throughout history, are weak Slavic slaves. In honor of their name, the slaves Avar and the Ural Magyars Sakalib were named. The Germans are one of the most powerful races in the world. Russians are the descendants of the first Indo-Europeans, the ancestors of all Europeans. I think that the Russians themselves are the strongest Europeans objectively. Serbs - Russian northern spirit, southern face. I have always said that the main thing is not the percentage of this or that blood, but the cultural and mental heritage. Serbs are mentally descendants of the northern Slavs.

The French and the Italians.

Apart from WWII in which Italy wasn't ready for and sucked for most of it (still winning some battles though), however there isn't only WWII in Italian military history.
Italians in the past fought in some of the most important battle of history. Also Condottieri, knights etc... served many foreigner countries and were praised. Also Napoleon praised the Italians in his army.

I think it depends on the period and current preparation.


Somehow we became the world's number one superpower by losing every war we ever fought. :rolleyes2:

Thanks to the Jews banks.

Nothing is eternal. You'll eventually lose that status like happened to the Roman Empire.


Oh well, at least we never lost to Ethiopian spearchuckers.

Did you see the army size of both countries during the first Italo-Ethiopian War at least? :picard1:

Plus they weren't really all "porly" armed...

You lost in Vietnam from a bunch of peasants and still not winning in Afghanistan spending billions to fight against a bunch of shepherds.
US became the superpower because of his sources and Wall Street..

As has already been pointed out, the Viet Cong's success came from setting traps and ambushes, and ultimately American forces were withdrawn a few years before Saigon fell because it was a pointless war that the American people were opposed to. Meanwhile we crushed nearly every North Vietnamese offensive and suffered around 60,000 casualties as compared to over a million soldiers lost by the North Vietnamese.

It's funny you say the Japanese are the second best soldiers when we contributed by far the most to defeating them in World War II. We won all the major battles in the Pacific from mid-1942 onward.

WW1 and WW2 Germans, Mongols, Greeks.

This is a simplistic statement that doesn't explain anything. Our military record is more impressive than Italy's since it's unification by far, and you'd have to be delusional to deny that.

OT: Ancient Romans

Perhaps but definitely not older, Italian military history starts during the Ancient Roman Era.

America can deploy more soldiers due to its size and takes part in much more scenaries of the world but Italy contribution to NATO military is not irrelevant. :)

WW1 and WW2 Germans, Mongols, Greeks.
The Mongols almost did not participate in world wars. The only merit of the Mongols over the past thousand years is extinction from syphilis. The Russians saved the Mongols from this epidemic by introducing antibiotics.

The best soldiers: Eastern Slavs (Russians, Ukrainians, Belarusians), Finns, Germans, Serbs, Northern Caucasians - the most furious people who do not spare themselves.
Worst pampered soldiers: Romanians, Croats, Hungarians, Poles, Czechs, Swiss, modern Scandinavians.

The Americans are an incompetent army, out of competition.

As I said, you are nothing compared to us and funny how you mention Serbs who were beaten by us whenever we encountered :laugh:

Stalingrad:

The 100th Light Infantry Division, including the 369th Croatian Reinforced Infantry Regiment, was involved in the heavy fighting for the "Red October" factory and for Mamayev Hill during the Battle of Stalingrad. By November 1942 the fighting in their sector had become a locked stalemate with little progress. By December 1942 the regiment had seen such intense combat that it was at 1/3 strength. Despite the harsh conditions, the German high command credited the regiment with maintaining 'proper and military bearing'.

Also:

''The 369th (Croatian) Reinforced Infantry Regiment was the only non-German unit selected by the Wehrmacht to enter Stalingrad city during assault operations. It fought as part of the 100th Jäger Division. Stalin rushed all available troops to the east bank of the Volga, some from as far away as Siberia.''

Other allies like Romanians and Hungarians did not participate in close-combat inside the city. Germans deemed them too poorly trained and equipped.
If anything my country ever had which was world class, those are it's soldiers and athletes.

Most American soldiers sign up to go to college or get out of trouble, so in general the US Army is incompetent, which is why we have not 'won' any conflict since WW II (maybe Panama, Grenada?). Only Special Forces and Rangers, which typically require a rather high intelligence level, are capable of anything, with the exception of particularly well-trained combat units.

That said, the most intelligent, intellectual Americans I've ever met have been in the Army Infantry, from all classes and walks of life.

Although I don't like really this guy for having spread the revolution ideals, guys, there was only one Napoleon, and he was french. (Of italian origins by the way ) :)

The greatest general in all military history hands down :cool:

I could also mention several WW1 french generals or marshals as Foch, Castelnau, Franchet d'Esperey, Lyautey, Joffre... Pétain.

Sometimes he was but whose blunder was this?


The Grande Armée also failed to prepare for Russia’s harsh winter. Its troops were not dressed or trained for the kind of weather they faced.

[Samnium]

Sometimes he was but whose blunder was this?Huge strategic failure, his ambition has lost him.

You can't deny that he has defeated sometimes armies composed of several european nations, Napoleon was a genius of military strategy, and yes in my opinion the best general that history has seen.

French Empire encompassed nearly all of geographical Europe, excluding Russia and some extreme fringes.

Also Louisiana which he sold to the US unfortunately

[Samnium]

Also Louisiana which he sold to the US unfortunatelyLouisiane wasn't that much an error, Acadia was already lost, since several years in fact. When you see Louisiana today... There are some people that still speak an old french (cajun), mainly descendents of the first french colons. There are also some very old french houses or buildings. Today (unfortunately) Louisiana is a huge black ghetto, basically. You can see the ethnic statistics.

Nope, it's not that simple. As for Vietnam, North Vietnam only had to persist and sustain the war, until American sentiment understandably viewed the war with disdain, and demanded for an end to American involvement. The North Vietnamese and Vietcong did take heavier casualties in that war. The USA didn't concede defeat in that war; instead, they settled with North Vietnam for a peace agreement, from the Paris Peace Accords (1973). Soon after American military units withdrew (as per the signed agreement), North Vietnam violated the terms of the agreement, and the situation escalated into a full scale invasion of South Vietnam. Nixon had intended to send aid to South Vietnam, under those circumstance, but the Watergate Scandal seems to have paralyzed his administration, thus preventing it from providing additional support for his ally.

British SAS.

Fact: Nearly ALL the worlds Special Forces base their military model on the British SAS.
