That is the point isn't it. There really is almost no comparison between a large standing army that is well equipped and trained vs. a smaller army that is not.
Sigh. Yes, that's true and it's also self evident -- yet you continue to try to compare the DS/DS force to an Army seven times its size but less well equipped and trained -- and that well equipped is based on weapon quality, not quantity. You're mixing Watermelons and Kiwi Fruit. It is Fruit Salad -- but it sure ain't good Fruit Salad...
Just as an aside, doesn't total military power include available lift? I should have said at the beginning "a large standing military force" rather than army. My mistake.
"Imprecision in choice of words..."
I don't think so. In any event I got to the right place didn't I?
Of course you don't, you never do. As usual you got to a place that isn't terribly wrong -- that's not the same thing as the right place.
Absolutely, which is why I brought it up.
Eh? I sure missed any congruity in this...
This is fun.
In thy opinion, perhaps. To me it's wasted effort undertaken only to preclude others from adopting your illogical IMO forays to strange ends by providing an alternative view to let them make up their own minds...
