I'm more interested in how you arrived at this conclusion.

1.)  Israel still exists
2.)  VooHoo is an American
3.) The British are pretty much Americans, only weird-looking and sounding
4.) Germans always sound really official
5.) The Swedes have to be prepared to defend their bikini team

VooHoo's list sounds feasible to me.

But Molvania (a land untouched by modern entistry) is a force to be reckoned with.

Thats is exactly why.

The reason I choosed Isreal first is because all Isrealies, Men and Women must serve for 2 years. This means that every individual is trained to fire a weapon, and are trained for combat when ever it strikes Isreal. (To make this easier Few like Isreal so, Isreal people train hard to defend themselves)

The rest is what Neubob pretty much said. I don't know why I put sweden, but they might have pretty good individual troops, because sweden never fights.

In my completely uninformed opinion, completely guessing for my own amusement, I would say that Voowho's list is fairly close.  However, Australia would replace Sweden and France, hilariously, would replace Germany.  My reasons?  He's wholly correct in his reasoning about Israel, and the U.S.A. has kicked the butt of every country it has wholeheartedly engaged.  Britain was the largest empire in history, and Australia is peopled entirely by criminals.  Criminals are used to having people not trust them, so they probably make good soldiers.  And they use the Steyr AUG, which is very capable weapon.  As for France, they may have a history of losing and a reputation for running away, but their fighter pilots fly lower than any other country's I've seen!

Why would anyone think Isreal trains their soldiers the best?   I suspect their average soldier doesn't measure up to the average soldier of many countries.

I think to compare "best trained" you have to consider size of the force and training for all units/soldiers as a whole, not just one or two groups.

I think at that, the USA probably has the best trained of the large countries with sizable standing forces.

I don't know about their ground forces, but Israel's air force puts ours to shame.  Their fighter pilots would probably beat the snot out of ours at Red Flag.  A little research on their combat records would clear up why we admire Israel's fliers.
