Chinese Army

Two modern armies have been known in English as the Chinese Army:

  • People's Liberation Army of the People's Republic of China
  • Republic of China Army (on Taiwan), which succeeded the National Revolutionary Army in 1947

Famous quotes containing the word army:

    Why not draft executive and management brains to prepare and produce the equipment the $21-a-month draftee must use and forget this dollar-a-year tommyrot? Would we send an army into the field under a dollar-a-year General who had to be home Mondays, Wednesdays and Fridays?
    Lyndon Baines Johnson (1908–1973)
