Only in your dreams. Here is the latest:
The US has 50 Army brigades that make up 10 divisions, but only three brigades are combat ready.
The Navy had 594 ships in 1987, but today it has 278 and needs 355.
The US Air Force needs 1200 fighters but only has 923 and most equipment is too old. It's short of 1000 pilots and 3000 maintenance workers. Pilot experience is at historic lows.
Only 38 of Germany's 114 high-tech Eurofighter jets are operational. Also 29 out of 93 Tornado fighter jets work. The number of German soldiers today is 177,000.
Germany has 6 submarines and not one is functional.
German Tornado jets conducting reconnaissance missions in Syria cannot fly at night because their cockpit lights are too bright for their pilots' eyes.
Last year, German troops used broomsticks to stand in for a lack of machine guns during a NATO training exercise. The German troops in Afghanistan didn't know how to use their weapons.
Former UK Royal Navy Rear Admiral Dr Chris Parry said the British military had fallen a long way behind Russia's capabilities. Navy ships are very old and spend more time in the dockyards being repaired than at sea.
Britain's armed forces are now at their smallest since the Napoleonic wars. The size of the Army has been cut from more than 100,000 to 82,000 since 2010. Speculation is that there were plans to cut the UK military by 14,000 service personnel, nine warships and 100 helicopters.
