Jason Stackhouse was kinda cute but also gullible and stupid.

S'pose it's a coincidence?

China predicted it could raise a 200 million man army recently. Try googling it. And that can't be a coincidence.

No, it's population growth.

What you wrote is total bullshit.  Point out to me where a) the magic mushroom induced fever dream of John of Patmos talks about a 200 million army and b) where China states it has 1/6 of its population under arms.

Revelation 9:16. Can’t help on the China bit.

Actually, China never made that claim. The US DOD said - back in the 90s - that China had 200 million males of military age. Not the same thing. It’s like claiming the US could field an army of 60 million. 

In each case, a financial and logistical impossibility.

So much trouble hiring trigger pullers that we condensed mos, opened them to both genders, and reduced the pt requirements...while increasing the salary, sign on, and retirement benefits. We're one of the most militaristic cultures that the earth has ever produced and we have trouble getting less than 1% to serve in any capacity.
I am the Infantry. I am my country’s strength in war, her deterrent in peace. I am the heart of the fight… wherever, whenever. I carry America’s faith and honor against her enemies. I am the Queen of Battle. I am what my country expects me to be, the best trained Soldier in the world. In the race for victory, I am swift, determined, and courageous, armed with a fierce will to win. Never will I fail my country’s trust. Always I fight on…through the foe, to the objective, to triumph overall. If necessary, I will fight to my death. By my steadfast courage, I have won more than 200 years of freedom. I yield not to weakness, to hunger, to cowardice, to fatigue, to superior odds, For I am mentally tough, physically strong, and morally straight. I forsake not, my country, my mission, my comrades, my sacred duty. I am relentless. I am always there, now and forever. I AM THE INFANTRY! FOLLOW ME!

If God can stick lions heads on horses, he can easily cobble together an army of 200 (especially since pay and bonuses aren’t an issue).

It’s also important to remember that the author was reporting a dream he had. If I told you lot about my dreams, you’d gulp with disbelief.
