The question was not the "largest"... the asker's question was "strongest".

By this I can only assume they mean "most devastating in its capability" or "most effective when engaged" and that they do not mean "the military that can lift the most weight".

Answer: The United States of America has the 'strongest' military. Here's why:
- Firepower: The U.S. possseses and controls the largest amount of destructive explosives on the planet. Bullets, dynamite, gunpowder, C-4, fuel bombs, napalm and nuclear, just to name a few types.
- Weapons delivery: The U.S. has the most accurate, well maintained, highe-tech, widely deployed and well-run firepower delivery system on Earth. Gun barrel accuracy, naval, air, land delivery systems - all highly maintained to very stringent standards.
- Intelligence: Despite all the joke we could make about this word and the military, the fact remains that no country has the technical and human intelligence and intelligence processing capabilities as the U.S. The NSA alone has a budget bigger than India's gross national product in 2004. Satellites, command and control, phone, internet, private internets, video communications, data encrpyion, data de-cryption, diversified Human spy assets, global corporate data, data mining, etc., etc., etc.
- Money: no military in the world is as well funded, consistently well funded, as the U.S. Military is.
