China can field an Army of 200 Million Men

[editec]

to quote my Uncle, who was formerly an artillary officer during the Korean clash of the early 50's?

Fighting the RED CHINESE army is like pissing on an anthill. Everything works out for you pretty well, but then eventually you run out of piss.

 

[MikeK]

Yes, and the USA can field 35,000 nuclear weapons.

But don't worrry about China's military might, its their economic might that is going to make all the difference.

The Chinese have nukes, too. So what you're suggesting is in inevitable fact, Armageddon.

That is why I believe we should never have suspended the draft. Because if we had not we would now have a massive reserve of trained soldiers in the civilian population who could be activated within a very short time. As it is the U.S. population consists largely of untrained, undisciplined, spoiled and lazy males for whom the thought of military service is a frightening and offensive prospect. It would take no less then three or four months to induct and to train them.

The U.S. once was a nation of fighters. This is no longer the case. We have become soft, spoiled and complacent, whereas the Chinese are lean and mean. An unhappy reality, but reality nonetheless.

Yeah, yeah. Every generation says that about the next one. If it makes you feel any better, they do the same in China too.

 

[Big Fitz]

Chinese have an unlimited surplus of young fighting age men with no wives to be able to send anywhere in the world it is fact that they have boasted that they can field an army of 200 million men. China has had a long history of being the economic trading superpower of the world, perhaps they are attempting to rule the world economically again. Can we stop it? We do have a large army but we are already sick of these resource wars.

200 million huh. With very few wives to satisfy them thanks to the 1 child policy. So... almost biblical in nature isn't it?

Nukes aren't much good when fighting the United States if you don't have a reliable delivery system which the Chinese do not. BUT, they are working on that and getting better. Some time soon the delivery problem will not be an issue.

You do know that a nuke is worthless if you want to get it to a country if you DON'T HAVE A WAY TO GET IT THERE!! Right? Just asking.

And for some reason you don't think China has any ICBMs?

[Ernie S.]

A 200 million man army is of little consequence outside of China. Ready bodies is all they are. I seriously doubt that they can even arm and equip 200,000,000, much less move them.

Did I not say that they were WORKING ON IT AND GETTING BETTER?

Are you saying that since the United States has been working on and testing ICBM's for the last 60 years is the same as an article that says the Chinese have a new delivery system?

 

[Unkotare]

China has had dozens of ICBMs since at least the 80s.

Are you nervous?

 

[Unkotare]

If you've got a point don't be afraid to make it any time now...

Since you seem to be mentally challenged (not the first time I've noticed) I will walk away from this before I tell you what I think.

 

[Unkotare]

Or, if you've GOT NOTHING TO SAY, just run along...

Chinese men, women, kids, and unarmed senior citizens would all be charging machine guns if push came to shove and push would come with a bayonet in the back. Harry Truman did what dumb democrats including Barry Hussein have been doing for a hundred years. WW2 was over and he dropped the number of ground Troops and announced he wanted to get rid of the Marines. Along came Korea and Truman didn't even wait for congressional approval. He picked an aging WW1 general as overall commander and the mission was completed in a couple of months. When the old WW1 general announced that he wanted to expand the mission and invade NK with exhausted Troops who were not equipped for the terrain known for it's extreme cold winters Truman hid in the White House afraid to say anything or risk a political showdown with the politically savvy general. Meanwhile China issued a statement that it would enter the conflict if Americans approached the Yalu River which was the border between NK and China.. Sure enough Truman remained silent while the old WW1 general who never even spent a single night in Korea ordered Americans into the biggest ambush in history. Thank God for Marine generals OP Smith and Chesty Puller or it would have been a debacle. As it was Truman finally mustered enough courage to can MacArthur and amazingly the liberal media held a ticker tape parade for the general who was relieved of duty in disgrace. The three year conflict which was never approved by congress ended with about 54,000 Troops killed during the conflict. For some reason the number was later revised down by the DOD during the Clinton administration to 38,000 which included only Americans killed in combat on the Peninsula rather than the overall number including accidents and illnesses that every other conflict in history includes during the duration of a war.

Unlikely.

This is not only a false hood but ill educated. China does not have the capacity to raise 200million soldiers nor can it arm, feed or move such a force. One only has to look at the Korea conflict to see this. After intially smashing the allies with over 200,00 men in a surprise attack and advancing too far away from their supply lines they were qiuckly (historically speaking) pushed back to the 38th.
It is simply not logistically possible to raise such a force that would be effective.
