Which country has the second largest armed forces in NATO?
Perhaps surprisingly, Turkey's armed forces (active plus reserve personnel) are almost half the size of the US forces and almost ten times the size of Canada's forces. Well, that's pretty scary!

Oh dear! And this guy is sorting your post people - the next time you post a birthday card to Aunt Maude in Florida and it goes missing, probably Jeff Overton sent it to New Zealand.

Glad that it is Turkey. They are the only country that stands between the chaos in the Middle East and the rest of Europe. They need a strong military for that reason.

Canada is part of the UK, so are they asking of the countrys listed?
Barry Randall
They are counting the reserve forces to. That can mean most of the country
