How big are Greek armed forces?

Answer 1

well normally all the armed forces are about 110000 to 20000 but in war time Greece can equip and rally about 1,5 to 2 million men and women. it is not a superforce and surely its is not a world power. but and this is a big but , don't forget the biggest weapon the greek soul . examples leonidas and xerxes. the first ww where Greece fought with a lot of counrty's and tripled their land in a bout 2 years. ww 2 the defeat of Italy and Mussolini ,where Italy thought it was superior because of its airforce and its tanks and troops and weapons that where superior. the Greeks went in Albania and attacked the Italians they hummiliated them and crushed them and don't forget France was captured in 4 weeks i think, not sure but Paris capitulated very quick and Greece held back Italy, Albania and other allies of Hitler and the German forces lost a lot of troops in crete ,by normal peasants with no rifles and who where only weaponed agrocultural tools. the Greeks held Germany in trouble and Germany went to late on invasion of russia,so instead of the beginning of spring Hitler went there at the end of summer and the Russian winter was very hard and it froze its army . and don't forget that the Greeks where enslaved by the ottoman turk for 500 years like other countrys like Yugoslavia ,Albania,Bulgaria and so on . the won their freedom by attacking a very superior army and a army that was 7 times the size of the armies that had a alliance between them. so i think it is a army that isn't so big but its te people whio serve the army. i served this army for 20 months . now it has been reduced to 9 months. and due to economics and European laws ,Greece has to cut on army and supplies. but we will survive and just for the people who know what it means.
