There are nearly 200 countries in the world, but if you want to say that the countries that are least afraid of death in war, the United States is not in the top six at all.
"Little Bully of the Middle East"
Ranking sixth among the "countries that are least afraid of death in war" is Israel, which is known as the "little bully of the Middle East".
Despite Israel's land area of 15,200 square kilometers, Israel's military capabilities should not be underestimated. As Israel's strongest backing, the United States has provided Israel with a large number of military weapons, and has also helped Israel develop new types of weapons, so that Israel's military equipment ranks among the top in the world.
And what about Israel's combat power?
The IDF has one of the highest defense budgets in the entire Middle East, with Israelis of both sexes serving as long as they reach the age of 18, and some immigrants join the IDF on their own initiative. Generally, the service is 3 years for men and 2 years for women, and those who attend religious institutions will delay their service.
Israel's title as the "little bully of the Middle East" is not in vain.
In the five Middle East wars, Israel has fought against Arab countries, and with the help of the United States and other Western countries, Israel has won more victories.
Moreover, the Israelis entered the war quickly, and were able to assemble a large army in a short period of time and attack with strong weapons.
Japan
To put it simply, Japan highly respects the spirit of "bushido" and propagates the idea of "the supremacy of force," and then applies this erroneous thinking to the management of the country, launching a large-scale war of aggression against foreign countries.
In the twenties and thirties of the last century, Japan fused "militarism" and "fascism" into one, and used this extreme erroneous ideology to manage the country, and Japan also propagated this extreme erroneous ideology to the people for a long time.
For example, their behavior of selectively "forgetting" and mutilating the people of the mainland and openly defeating the Yasukuni Shrine is enough to show that this kind of militarism still exists in Japan.
Under the influence of such erroneous thinking, how can Japan still care about people's life and death?
Afghanistan
In mid-April 2021, Biden announced that all U.S. troops would withdraw from Afghanistan by September 11, marking the end of the war in Afghanistan after 20 years.
In 2001, the "9/11" incident occurred in the United States, and then the United States sent troops into Afghanistan to wage war against the Taliban, and it took 20 years to fight.
In the past 20 years, the United States has said several times that the war in Afghanistan is over, but the US military has not withdrawn for a long time, but has established a US military base in Afghanistan. The armies of Afghanistan and the United States and other countries have fought many battles, and almost every battle has been fought with a disadvantage, but Afghanistan has not flinched and is still fighting the United States.
Vietnam
In fourth place is Vietnam, and many people may wonder whether Vietnam has a strong fighting capacity and why it is ranked fourth.
Vietnam has 492,000 active troops, 420,000 in the army, 8 military regions and 2 special regions, 14 military headquarters, 58 infantry divisions and 4 mechanized infantry divisions.
The navy has 42,000 people, divided into four coastal zones, and has frigates, patrol boats, minesweepers and other weapons. The Air Force has 15,000 personnel, organized into 4 aviation divisions, 2 attack aircraft regiments, etc., and has 65 Su-22s, 6 Su-27s, and air-to-air missiles and other weapons.
If you just look at the combat strength of Vietnam's army, it seems that it is not enough to rank fourth, so why can Vietnam be ranked fourth?
The main reason is that Vietnam had an outstanding performance in the war with the United States in the last century, and in the face of American aggression, the Vietnamese army became more and more courageous and finally won.
USSR
After World War II, the only country that could compete with the United States was the Soviet Union, and the United States and the Soviet Union had been fighting for hegemony for decades, so it was impossible to say that the Soviet Union was weak in combat effectiveness, and the Soviet army was a terrifying existence for Nazi Germany.
The Soviet-German War was the largest, most intense, and deadliest war of World War II.
Nazi Germany amassed 5.5 million men, 4,900 warplanes, 190 warships, 3,700 tanks, and 47,000 artillery pieces to attack the Soviet Union from the south, north, and center. At first, the Soviet Red Army was losing ground and Nazi Germany occupied large areas of the Soviet Union.
In 1942, the Nazi German army and the Soviet Red Army fought a protracted general battle at Stalingrad, in which the Soviet Red Army desperately resisted the attack of Nazi Germany, and at the same time, millions of Soviet reserves were gathered on both sides of the German army. At the end of the year, the Soviet Red Army began a counteroffensive and annihilated the main force of 270,000 people of Nazi Germany, including the 6th Army and most of the 4th Panzer Army.
After that, the Soviet Red Army gradually gained the upper hand, defeated the Nazi German army, recovered all the country, and liberated many countries in Eastern Europe.
So, who is in first place in the "country that is least afraid of death in war"?
China
There is no doubt that the mainland is in first place.
At the end of the Qing Dynasty, the Eight-Nation Coalition invaded China, brutally carved up the mainland land, killed the mainland people, destroyed many buildings on the mainland, and robbed the mainland of many precious cultural relics. At that time, the Qing army still fought against the Eight-Nation Alliance, but because the Qing government was weak and incompetent, and the Qing army was negligent in training, it finally failed.
During the period of the Republic of China, many patriotic people also rose up to resist, threw themselves into China's revolutionary cause, and organized patriotic movements in various places. In the period of resistance against Japan, although the mainland's weapons and equipment were not as sophisticated as Japan's, our army fought bravely and defeated the Japanese army with superb tactics.
During the War to Resist US Aggression and Aid Korea, the United Nations forces led by the US Army dealt a fatal blow to the logistical supply of the mainland volunteers, resulting in a shortage of food and clothing for the volunteers and insufficient ammunition. However, in the face of hunger and cold and lack of ammunition, the volunteers still chose to fight the US army to the end.
In the fiercest battle of Shangganling, the Volunteers resisted the attack of the United Nations forces almost with flesh and blood.
For example, Zeng Pingzhang, deputy squad leader of the 2nd Company of the 92nd Regiment of the Volunteer Army, was ordered to stick to the waist of the mountain in the Battle of Shangganling, and repelled two attacks by the enemy.
At the last moment, Zeng Pingzhang picked up the last blaster and rushed into the enemy, killing more than 10 enemy troops.
Ge Hongchen, the platoon commander of the 6th Company of the 134th Regiment, covered the troops into the tunnel alone, and was seriously injured by the enemy until his intestines flowed out, but he never retreated, and at the last moment, he pulled out the last grenade in his hand, killing the enemy, and he also served the country with his body.
The volunteers fought in bad weather tens of degrees below zero, and when the horn sounded, many volunteers had already frozen to death, but their hands were still tightly holding their guns and staring at the enemy camp in front.
It is precisely because of these revolutionary ancestors who are not afraid of death that we can now enjoy life in peace, and those countries that are eyeing us do not dare to really attack.
