What, the Chinese, Koreans, and Vietnamese are bogged down in Iraq? News to
me....

FYI, the United States does *not* have the largest army in the world. Not even
close, actually.

Active duty only:
China 2.3 million
U.S. 1.4 million

Active duty plus reserves:
North Korea 5.8 million
South Korea 5.2 million
Vietnam 3.5 million
China 2.9 million
U.S. 2.6 million
