What country is known to have the toughest soldiers?

Question

personally I think it is the US or Australia.

Answer 1

india.  the Ghurkas are fearless warriors, and are often sent to other countries as  mercenaries.

Answer 2

The US and UK are even, when considering Special Forces and the individual SF Operator.

For those that want to look to WW II for the tough soldiers, you need look no further than the SS.

And since our individual nations don't advertise our most elite and secretive units, we will never know the answer.

Answer 3

The French Foreign Legion.

You have to be pretty tough just to enlist in la Legion Etrangere.

Here are some of the requirements:

There are several things to consider before making the leap from simply thinking of joining the Legion, to actually travelling to France and enlisting at a recruiting centre:

• Appraise your physical condition. Activities in the Legion tax your physical endurance and abilities to the maximum. The most important physical requirement is running. You must  be able to run at least 10 kilometres with ease. Medical problems of any nature will almost surely disqualify you. Even seemingly minor issues such as poor eyesight can prevent you from being accepted. Recommended minimum physical prerequisites are:

- 30 pushups.

- 50 situps.

- Climb a 20 foot rope without using your feet.

- Run 8 kilometres with a 12 kilogram rucksack in less than one hour.

- 8 chinups with your palms away from you as you grip the bar.

• The age range for joining is 18 to 40.

• You can't join if you're married.

Answer 4

Any and all countries who are ACTUALLY fighting anywhere in the world can lay claim to this. It's just a matter of view, training, battlefied record, equipment, tenacity. I mean some of a leg support brigade in our Army won't look as tough as a say standing next the Ranger Regiment, but will and can they fight, sure. As long as they have confidence and proper, uniform hard training, anyone can and will pull through.

Australia has some good troops from what I have seen in Iraq.

Answer 5

USA BABY!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!...

Answer 6

Special Forces - Russian Spetsnaz

Regular Army Infantry - United States

Best combination of the two - The British.

Answer 7

Actually, on a man to man basis, most experts give that kudo to the Israeli army.  Their loss to kill ratio is very high against everyone they have ever faced.

Most NATO experts rate the Australians as second, ever since their fantastic defense of the British possessions in World War 2.

Third rated is US soldiers with an incredible loss to kill ration in Iraq and AF.

Answer 8

What makes you say Australia?

America. Someone fight the Marines. Try it.
