How do you rank them. How do you compare. Its like you asking me if Kansas was ranked 20th but not tellling me if i should take in strength of schedule, home field advantage, etc. Please be clearier. Are you ranking on size. I doubt even with a low funded military we were and are a large country. Equipment. Maybe so but i doubt it. I can tell you right now i cant think of 36 countries that could possibly be stronger. I did see some graph comparing pre war and post war gnps and stuff. Before the war the USA had like 20% of the worlds GNP after the was it had like I think it was 52.1% or maybe and more likly than lower it was higher (did that make since, I thought not).
