"their population has to do milittary sevice."

Of course, most countries require their citizens to serve 2 years of armed service in their life times.In fact, i think we have one of the only all volunteer armies, some say its what makes us unique.

You really think America is indecisive about war? I beg to differ. We have been at constant war since the 50's non stop, not proud of it either but facts are facts.You are insane to say american troops join because they have nothing better, while the chinese do it for the love of their country. Id say both do it for money, and love of country.

""China can draft 350,000,000 people to fight"- do you really think that they have the resources available to them to be able to utilize that amount of people? They have no where near enough money to arm and ship out those soldiers to desired locations."

Great point. I also think people are a little skewed on how rich both countries are confusing it with size of economy. Also, mobilized trained troops and military spending. The US outspends dozens of modern countries combined in spending and training
