Worst Militaries In the World

The Top Ten
1 Somalia

It's hilarious how people say the U.S. when we won Vietnam, nearly all battles fought in Vietnam were WON. A peace treaty was signed, because (to be honest we WERE going broke at the time) but North Vietnam also new they could not win with us in South Vietnam. They waited for us to leave, we left, and then AFTER we left they took over South Vietnam. I honestly have no idea why Uk and the US are on here. It always look like people just want to hate on the strongest nations, they always need to find the smallest little flaw.

Needs foreign help can't stop the Somali pirates nor the terrorists groups such as al Qaeda the Taliban al Shabababad.

We don't even use armies any more the americans and chinese just show off there nukes

2 United States of America

You guys don't realize that the United States have the best military in the world you guys are just haters I even live in the United States myself yeah if you don't know people say we lost the Vietnam war but I don't know if we lost that war or not if we did then that would mean we lost 2 wars if we didn't only one war lost bye the way if you live in a country that were not allied with we're not dumb we have the fourth smartest country and we're not even collapsed but I do know that we had to have help in world war 2 or we would have been defeated in my opinion I think you guys from all over the world that probably don't understand understand our country language but it's probably converted into your language but you guys always want to under estimate the best militaries in the world such as Russia

Every single person who wrote a comment that says the US. Military sucks needs to do a little research. I will go ahead and address the comment that someone made about WWII. We weren't the ones that needed help to defeat the Nazis, we helped many other countries defeat the Nazis, and without the US, would have been burned to the ground under the Nazis Iron Fist. You also have to know that at the time, the Nazis had the best military in the world for the time being. If we hadn't joined into WWII in the European Theater, Europe would have been completely lost to the Nazis. I'm not saying we could have single handed lay beaten the Nazis because we couldn't, but in terms of all of the allies in Europe, we had the best military. Also, keep in mind that on top of fighting the Nazis, we were fighting at the exact same time, the Japanese. We were the only country fighting Japan at all in WWII. So I guess I will recap this segment, we were fighting two of the best militarists in the world, one ...more

The U.S. can win a war with any country, though the military is extremely overrated. We have a carrier fleet larger than every navy combined first off and second more aircraft than any other nation. The only 2 countries that would be a problem are Russia because of its large tank force and nuclear weapons arsenal and China with its large army and population fit for service.

We have the best army in the world even though the worst military and army is the North Korean. I'm American and I can say we have the best army in the world number 1 this army is more powerful than China Mexico and North Korea this country could win even though WW3 starts soon! We hope it could win any country during WW3 and the strongest military better than other militaries than others.

3 Congo

The salvation army can destroy them.

Any recent African Army could be Number 1 I think. How many civil wars does this country average a century?

Somalia is #2 and Congo is #1

Second comment is funny

4 Chad
5 Malawi
6 Tanzania Tanzania, officially the United Republic of Tanzania or simply U.R.T, is a large country in Eastern Africa within the African Great Lakes region.
7 Sierria Leone

Sierria Leone is terrible man there military is a piece of crap, I'm suprised they are not number 1.

8 Liberia

Pretty much no functioning military. And how is the US at #2? That's just dumb. Also, Pakistan is good. They lost some skirmishes with India, but India has way more troops than Pakistan.

9 Pakistan

Pakistan has lost many wars, but Pakistan has a good military. It ranks 13th. I HATE Pakistan, Pakistan has lost 50% of the wars they fought but they always faced of stronger armies, they never had an equal match. I repeat I HATE, HATE, HATE Pakistan, its just that facts are facts, Pakistan actually does have a strong military.

Lost all 4 four wars against India including the historic battle of 1971 which led to the division of their nation in 2 parts as Pakistan and Bangladesh. They even lost Siachen to India in 1984. So scared that whenever India goes for a war they start threatening for nuclear launch without even considering nuclear capability of India.

More terrorists dan soldiers...

Worst army lost every war

10 Botswana Botswana, officially the Republic of Botswana, is a landlocked country in Southern Africa. Botswana is topographically flat, with up to 70 percent of its territory being the Kalahari Desert. It is bordered by South Africa to the south and southeast, Namibia to the west and north, and Zimbabwe to the ...read more.
The Contenders
11 Great Britain

They could have easily beaten the 13 colonies. The colonies only won out of extreme luck. The colonies only took on a portion of the British army, not the entire thing. They also had help from France and Spain. If the entire British Empire was sent to the colonies, the colonies would have been annihilated. Same if France and Spain didn't help them

Look, I admit our army is starting to fall behind but it's no way near the worst. We, France, some time after Russia were the ones who held the navies back. Ok then the USA jumped in. If those countries didn't put a fight the USA would have lost as well.

If you idiots didn't know the British were the only country (besides the mighty U.S.) that was able to hold back and defeat the Nazis in air and ground warfare

There Queens guards have red outfits.

12 Fiji Fiji, officially the Republic of Fiji, is an island country in Melanesia in the South Pacific Ocean about 1,100 nautical miles northeast of New Zealand's North Island.

Fiji IS Super Dependent on Russia To Supply Them Weapons And Has A Horrible arsenal of anti-tank weaponry.

Although if nuclear warfare breaks out ill be there

13 Philippines

It is not true that they drink their own blood it is just that our government is corrupt and that they now have to focus on infantry advancements. But if you look at the past planes tanks armoury troops artillery ships and guns were a lot stronger that now. So all in all we have a good millitary for a third world country compare to Somalia and Iraq

Don't Be Judgemental Guys! You have know idea how high the morale of the Philippine military is. Have you even heard of at least one report that they retreated, no. So I personally think we are strong. Sure we may have outdated equipment, but at least our will to fight is strong and that we are willing to die for our country!

By the way some countries like US Russia etc are giving support to the military

No way. In phillippines, they make their soldiers kick their own ass and drink their own blood. They have brutal military training and probably near the top with the Russian Spetsnaz.

14 Swaziland

They all have aids

15 North Korea

No will to fight if they fought Salvation Army could fight them and win they are better equiped with their little bells

North Korea spends so much money on nukes that the solders need to eat DIRT to survive!

Guys North Korea is gonna make a stupid move and they will be destroyed within a week

They have enough munitions to combat the USA for 2 months

16 Italy

This is for Italy in the 1940s. Their military maneuvering was laughable. Even if they had been mobilizing for several years, they couldn't even invade Greece, a country that wasn't prepared for war and didn't have noticeable allied support. Mussolini was a laughing stock.

17 Indian

Those who don't know about kashmir and internal policies of my country dare not blabber a word out of mouths. Also, Indian Army has been helping in upliftment of kashmiris unlike pakistan who aims to destroy kashmir just for its own benefit.
I know that these guys above must be pakistanis or some idiitic foreigner without any idea about their own country's internal policies so first increase your knowledge and then speak.

Enough with all lies. I am a Pakistani and I am done with all lies about Pakistani army. We lost 2000 sqm of land in 1965 in our Punjab but only were able to enter few meters in Indian desert. We lost 1971 war and had humiliating defeat in 1999 and had to run from Siachen in 1984 when India carried op Meghdoot. Indians are brave while we are cowards.

Indian army are the top worst army. They kill poor Kashmir people and also involve in bomb blast in India E. G Samjotha Express. Involve in terrorist activities in Pakistan and Afghanistan. They do nothing aganist Hindu terrorist in India.

Indian armies was much powerful army then Pakistan but still they were not able to beat Pakistani army

He'll no we have the states and Britten and our army isn't bad it's not AS strong as the rest

Understaffed, undertech, no real airfarce or navy...tiny ground forces who haven't seen REAL combat since WWI, with a minor role in Korea.

The salvation army can kick their asses.

I hate britain

19 Serbia

Terrible armed forces. They lost to Kosovo and Albania even though they had help from Yugoslavia, which was also defeated.

Once had the 4th army in the world (yugoslay army) and lost to many nations including Bosnia which was unarmed nation

20 Ukraine

Really Russia takes Crimea instead of fighting Ukraine watches what is happening

You relize United States will back up Ukraine probably sparking world war three

Russia takes it over and they don't fight back

Ukraine don't stand a chance against Russia.

21 New Zealand

No Air Force and no hope.

22 Albania

Albania have no money because roemello vasija stole their money

23 Russia Russia, or the Russian Federation (RF), is a transcontinental country spanning Eastern Europe and Northern Asia. It is the largest country in the world by area, covering over 17,125,191 square kilometres (6,612,073 sq mi), and encompassing one-eighth of Earth's inhabitable landmass. Russia extends across ...read more.

Russian never fight Pakistan, That was Afghanistan. But then again, Afghanistan has defeated many superpowers in history, it's like the Vietnam of the Middle East

Embarrassing army. Lost to Georgia back in 2008, and while it took over Crimea (while Ukraine was on its last legs), it, and it's separatists, are struggling.

It has lost every war since world war one. Spetsnaz has killed more spetsnaz soldiers than actual enemies.

Worst army lost to Pakistan ARMY

24 Czech Republic

I live here and the military here is terrible.Oudated cold war equipment and only 20 000 men? And 100 reserves? To defend 10 mill people?

25 Afghanistan

Canada could kick their butts
