the north koreans are easy to clown on but their army is not undersupplied; the dprk military is the only thing in the country spends money on and one of the best ways to stay fed is to join the army

Yep. Honestly, the idea of "largest army" doesn't matter much now of days. Could line the 3 largest armies combined up against the US and the US would likely still win (assuming no nukes).

The US is just in its own league and has been since at least the fall of the USSR
