Joushua, what I’m saying is that it IS WRONG, because it has absurd results.

Not simply with respect to Iraq, A’stan, etc., but in the major point that quite a few of the high ranking countries can’t seriously provide for their security.

Don, my point is that without knowing their methodology, we can’t really say that the study is good or bad. Like you, I have serious doubts about the thing, because it just feels wrong.

This study is garbage; they rate highly nations that rely upon others for national defense. The US is downrated due to private arms ownership.

It’s a joke.

Afganistan v Iraq is missing the forest for the trees with respect to this study.
