If you first obtain a green card/American citizenship, then yes. Otherwise no. Canada has the best trained soldiers in the world, quantity is lower so they go for quality everytime.

What is the most powerful force ever?

Energy takes a few forms, but none are more powerful than another. X Jules of electrical energy will be turned into X Jules of thermal energy when put through a heating element.

This is called the Law of conservation of energy. Energy is neither created nor destroyed.

I believe what you're really asking, is what form of energy storage holds the most energy per gram.

Matter itself is energy per the equation E=mc^2 1KG of matter = 89,876,000,000 MJ

Nuclear plants turn about 0.1% of the mass of a block of uranium into energy, so from 1KG of Uranium you'll get 88,250,000 MJ

The next pratical method is gasoline: 1KG of gas = 50 MJ

Can you join the us military with online HS Diploma?

As long as the document is from a State or Federally recognized and accredited educational institution, it doesn't matter if it's online or not. For example, a diploma from "Joe's Online High School Diplomas" wouldn't cut it, but a diploma from an online program administered by an accredited school is okay.

It's similar to an online diploma for a college degree; a BS from DeVry isn't going to get you into the military as a commissioned officer, but a diploma from a known university administering online college courses would. The determining factor is whether or not the place you get the diploma from meets known State or Federal educational standards of accreditation.
