Throughout humanity's history, there has always been someone that wants to shift the balance of power between nations. There will always be good and evil in the world, but there will always be people that want good to rise and defeat the enemy. The greatest militaries in the world use the most technological weapons of the time, powerful soldiers and mind over matter as a way to push an army to win the war.
But what makes the greatest militaries that have ever existed so formidable? What makes an army of a few hundred defeat an army of thousands? Specific attributes are part of the military and can lead those in the battle to victory. Specific militaries in history have come and gone, but their legacy of the characteristics that they had defined the course of human history.
One of the most famous armies of all time, the Roman Army, was able to garner and conquer mass amounts of land and people within a couple of hundred years. The Romans were able to use strong leadership through their generals, large numbers of soldiers, high morale, and significant initiatives that gave them so many victories. The tenacity of Romans was also a significant factor; the Romans were notorious for never giving up until the battle was theirs. Their reign lasted for hundreds of years as they were able to conquer lands on three continents.
Another legendary army was the Spartan Army. The Greeks were waging war with each other for years, but the Spartans were a different breed. Their entire city ran with a sense of duty to their army. Boys were taken at a young age to train in the military; boys became men, and men became soldiers. The mindset of a Spartan soldier was complete devotion to Sparta and their fellow soldiers, in turn, led to the some of the fiercest battles known to humankind. According to other Greeks of the day, one Spartan was worth a hundred soldiers of another army.
Currently, the most badass army and most forceful military power in the world is the United States; not only by land but by sea and sir. With all of these combined, these forces have dominated corrupt powers all across the world, with victories over Nazi Germany and former Saddam's regime in Iraq. The United States focuses on helping other countries that cannot help themselves or that are battling against another superpower. Hope for others to live freely in their own countries is one of the driving forces behind the United States military. Soldiers sign up because they know they can provide freedom to others that do not have it but should.
For these armies, they used a sense of honor for people to support their soldiers and soldiers to respect their country and their brothers in arms. These armies used the most intense manner to train their soldiers, and strength is in numbers of elite soldiers. When these armies were provoked by what they saw as the enemy, they struck, and they struck hard, making sure the enemy knew who they were up against.
The greatest military power in the world is a strong one. They are intimidating, relentless, and always have their countries' back. Soldiers are highly devoted and look out for their fellow man, by offering their lives in the hope that the enemy will surrender. Of course, these rare qualities are in militaries, but soldiers can lead a nation to victory and give a sense of pride to the people they have sworn to fight for. Rare characteristics like these should apply elsewhere in life too.
