Well you edited your remark so I don't know what it said other than "size means nothing". By size I was referring to the size of a military that would be needed to defend a larger country is a significant factor. considering the rough total might of the English infantry is about 300K (with reservists) and the US's is about 1.4 mill if the US put their whole might against Britain they would have to kill 5 of our infantry for every one of theirs....and that just for our active duty. Needless to say this would not happen though as both countries really have no reason to fight one another. Other than our initial feud during the revolution and a few years later our countries have been allies for over a century now.
