Which Country Has The Most Splendid Soldiers?

Well, let's see.  The Vietnamese have defeated every invader since Genghis Khan (Vietnam was his only defeat) up to recently both the anger and rage of the United State AND the Peoples Liberation Army of China.  (The Vietnamese allowed the French a stay as Vietnam modernized with a French flair.  The influence has made Vietnamese food the best in Asia.)

The Afghanis go a step farther.  Not only do they defeat every invader, most recently the Union of Soviet Socialist Republics, but currently the USA military, which from Lebanon, to Somalia, to the Balkans to Iraq to Afghanistan cannot catch a break.  Our last clear, clean victory was when we pre-emptively attacked Granada, and Island of about 100,000 natives.  With no military.

What do these countries share? No standing military.  People who when offended or abused get their guns and defend their countries.  Sure they all get help from outside, but the outside help does no good unless there is a farmer willing to take the battle to the invaders.

When the colonists in US defeated the worlds major superpower, we too were farmers willing to stand up and deal with problems ourselves.  We should learn from the most splendid soldiers on the planet.
