Recently the US military co-hosted the Strong Europe Tank Challenge (https://www.rt.com/news/343414-us-tanks-nato-competition/), the first of its kind since the end of the cold war. It was no doubt an attempt to showcase the overwhelming superiority of Western militaries, and to present NATO’s united front to Russia. Unfortunately, the only thing the US military managed to showcase was its own incompetence.
Tank platoons from Denmark, Slovenia, Germany, Italy, Poland, and the United States were pitted against each other in a variety of wargames at the Grafenwoehr Training Area in Germany. During the three day event, the games tested these tank crews with both offensive and defensive maneuvers, obstacle courses, simulated chemical weapon attacks, medical emergencies, IED’s, and the identification of friendly and unfriendly targets.
Unfortunately the US tank crews didn’t win. In fact, despite being the only nation to provide two tank platoons instead of one, the US didn’t even place. Germany wound up coming in first place, followed by Denmark and Poland.

An Openly Gay Man Runs the Army
“I’m ecstatic,” said Staff Sgt. Patricia King, a soldier in Colorado Springs who was the first person in the infantry to transition on the job.“To know that the secretary of the Army is supportive of open trans service, supportive of me not only as a soldier but as a person, is a comforting feeling.”
