well, I disagree with you. They train way much harder physicallyi admit, i know that we (Canada) don't have 20km style run or something like of that kind, but running and push-ups don't give experience, experience will only come when you encounter a real ennemy, the only thing that training is giving you is discipline trying to make you hold your fear, that's all. US troops that were in Somalia even got experience because their made up a contact with a ennemy, their felt that their live could be in danger,they known what's death and the stress of a real battlefield ! Experience come from there, my friend, not training, exercise can only help self-control on the battlefield, but none training programs up to now is capable to recreate a real combat to make the soldiers feel confortable with war. About, training, China is giving a lot of energy of physical training, but spend less in shooting and combat exercise than Canada, the Chinese don't gave the same amount of money... Canada have participated since the Korean War to up to 50 peacekeeping mission including Kosvo and Bosnia and we were part of the UN's force that attacked Afganistan,in every mission, soldiers gain experience because they acquired it from the proximity to the danger. Exercises don't give experience, only self-control ability because the soldier don't feel in danger and are not afraid.

Well, I disagree, because the US soldiers are recruit by recruiters, so the recruters have way to convince the people to join the Army, i don't know if you know, but the third of the US Army's enlisted personnel have very poor education. Sometimes, recruiters have some "special" way of recruiting people, so the US are really volunteers. Here, it's really people want to join by themselves, there is not recruiters and a few recruitment center, most of the "center" are military bases

To join the U.S. military you need to have atleast a high school diploma.

Then, how Canadian soldiers get more experience than Chinese soldiers? Peace missions? China has peace operations too, likes on Haiti. They get experience too like what you said above. And by the way, some trainings exercises in China involve using real bullets. And they need to climb about 10 feet tall wires above ground from a building to another, WIthout any safety equiptments, that gives em teh spirit. In Canada, Canadians climb wires with safety equiptments and the wires are only 1 feet above ground...
-- If a war comes, every soldier FEARS regardless of experience, once they've won a battle or see a mate got killed, they became fearless.

China in Haiti is the 1st Peace mission that China were in I heard about since I was born !! (1984) BTW, in Haiti, I read that is PAP that's deployed there, not PLA. I know in some exercise China use real bullets, but not as much as Canada. For wire climbing for exemple, well, as part of the canadian reserve infantry, i don't remember doing thoses exercises. Training that's not secure is not good for soldiers, their morale will get down, believe me,only make them feel that their only number and not human being that's giving their lifefor their country !!! I'm been in the reserve since 3 years,i know what's rough condition and every factor that can get on a soldier's nerve.
I never their don't fear, but the experience come this fears ! But China haven't seen much death in militray operation since the early 70-
