Judging by the size of North and South Koreas Reserve forces 4.7m each, they are ready to war with eachother.

I think its a little more fair to look at the 'Active troops per thousand citizens'. Its a better indication of how much a nation cares about its military - Its no surprise Israel tops that list.

Can't you see this as a movie?  Some "super power" decides to invade the Caribbean Islands only to find this unified force that guns'em out of the water?


OK - that was dumb.  I'm bored at work.  That's the trouble with being in TechOps - everyone else can take the Nice Sunny Day Off, but OH NO!  Not the gys who actually feed the servers!  WE have to keep out lilly white butts in the chair and watch the pretty colors on the monitoring screens!

Not necessarily:  China and the US, for example, both care a great deal about their militaries, but can outnumber other countries even with a much lower % of troops enlisted, so needn't bother enlisting too many.  The UK also has a relatively low number of soldiers per thousand citizens, and cares a great deal about it's military, yet relies on a small, well trained force.  I agree, though, to look at a coutry solely in how many troops in total they have ignores the larger picture.
