it's impossible to tell unless they've all been in a war recently. Marching and looking pretty is one thing, how they act under fire is different

I don't think there's anyone here who has enough knowledge about all the mentioned choices to be able to pick the best.

being disciplined and having lots of guts are two different things. being disciplined means having good conduct and good discipline. i've heard that many un soldiers stationed in africa have really poor discipline. they drink, get hookers, fight among themselves.

what i mean being discipline here isn't whether you have guts and stand there still when there are bullets flying to you. what i mean being discipline here is having good conducts (e.g. obey orders, do not steal, do not loot, do not harm innocents, do not get hookers) things like that.

  Armies  in a  war  or cold war or  in  long therm  threat situations are more disciplined the other armies.Because  of their situation  they  have  to be more  serious  then other forces.

  And i think because of their  national mentality  the  far east  country armies  are  more disciplined then other countries.

  In this fact  i vote for the israel  armed forces  they are still  in war situation.

   At second  i wouldd  choose  the north korean  army.

That's the proper description of disciplined. Though being rowdy off-duty isn't necessarily bad depending on the local culture, it's more to do with whether the soldiers can behave with enough decorum that they don't give the impression of being barbarians, so more important is whether or not they can avoid unnecessarily repressing or killing civilians, whether they get along with civilians socially, treat them well and so on.

I'd have a hard time picking - it used to be the Commonwealth countries (eg Britain, Canada, Australia, New Zealand) but they seem to have lost alot of that since the 80s or so. Australia and Canada are still fairly disciplined, but, they've definately had some problems and places like Africa have highlighted that (thinking particularly about Somalia).

Probably some of the little miliaries like Norway or the Swiss, and maybe also Japan, are the most disciplined right now. I'm really not familiar enough with the military culture of alot of different places to be sure. All I can really say for sure is that here (Canada) we probably once occupied that spot, particularly during WW2 and during our post-war missions to places like Cyprus. But I don't think we do anymore, though we're still above average.

Turkish army is  one of the most diciplined force right now . Because of the  Turkish millitarical history and traditions, our army is one of the best.

I voted for IAF for this reason. They've proven their professionalism in combat against the Syrians over Southern Lebanon in the 80s and operations like the destruction of the Iraqi nuclear reactor where the Israelis jets involved masqueraded as an airliner.

Not really a problem given that they're not in a real army.

actually, they are. un soldiers are military regulars or police special forces sent by different countries.

Na, that is a bit of a generalisation, the Uruguayians have done a really good job in the DR Congo (IIRC), disarming gangs and stopping them from terrosising villagers and towns people.

If the Marines (the marines are the best prsn you hit it on the dot) but lets put em aside then who would be the most discipline? It would have to go to the Israelis. Fact is they are under-fire all the time, everyone is required to join the military service at a certain age (17 I think but i could be wrong). I also have friends here in the Us (jewish friends) that go to Isreal and go to military camp for a month . Without a doubt, Israel forces hands down.

--Also many countries imploy Israeli veterans to learn self-defense against terrorism. Especially down in South America, they employ many Israelis in Colombia
