Regardless of that, America isn't the greatest place by far. And yes, our troops need to get the hell out of other people's buisness. Sending medical personnel is one thing, but sending our own troops somewhere to fight other people is pretty dumb in my opinion.
That was so wrong it made me cry weoo. China currently has the largest army.
The reason we send other troops we only help us in the future. If we help countries rich in oil, that is a plus for us.
We're in the Middle East for oil. We're not in there because we feel we have some moral obligation to 'protect' anyone. The sooner we move away from oil dependence, the sooner we can leave the area and break our entangling alliances with countries like Saudi Arabia. It's all about energy - if we weren't dependent on the Middle East for oil then we wouldn't give a fuck about it, and they wouldn't give a fuck about us. The less you involve yourself with something, the less likely it is to affect you.

Just because you Google'd "who has the biggest military" and china pops up, doesn't mean Wikipedia is correct.
I've gone onto multiple websites, and it seems they can't decide on the exact number between America and China. China may have a lot of people, but they're basically a 3rd world country. Even though they're categorized as a 2nd world country.

Hurray for your outdated sources.
It's obvious China has the more massive, and well trained military.

Why is it obvious? Can't you give reasoning to as why? Just because they have more people in the country doesn't mean anything.
edit: since you obviously don't, I looked up a non outdated source. This was updated yesterday.
