      Yes. And places like North Korea do have a lot of soldiers. Because every male gets to waste a substantial amount of their lives on military service… But reportedly, most of these soldiers don’t get handed any bullets. Because a) The country can’t afford munition. And b) they could do a coup against the leader with working weapons.
      So I don’t know whether they should get any representation in a chart. These soldiers will just yell “bang, bang” in a war. Maybe they’ll yell it loudly and in a “powerful” way. But that’d hardly kill any enemies.

    Huh, Israel so tiny? Didn’t they demonstrate in 1967 already, how they can fight Jordan, Syria, Egypt all at the same time and it doesn’t take them more than 6 days? Also they bombed quite some things in Iran last year, despite that country being way more powerful? I don’t think this index is accurate.
