At one point the German army was using broomsticks during training exercises because they were so under equipped. And with all the money needed to take care of the Muslim invasion can’t see it getting any better.

I came on active duty in 1991. I had NCOs that told me the US Army was doing much the same thing under the Carter admin in the 1970s. Tank Companies would go out in Jeeps using broom sticks to train gun tube orientation for the main guns in various traveling and tactical formations. Simply not enough money to roll the tanks for training.
