I question the value of kicking in American style storm doors and raiding Western frame houses for training for elsewhere. If you train for the mission like you are supposed to be fighting, seems to me there'd be some differences unless Western home construction is what they would be up against.
I am not sure how things are built elsewhere, but when I look at images of the debris/ruins of natural disasters and warfare in foreign countries, it looks as if methods and materials differ from here.
Good point, and you would also have to look at the cultural value if they were training for ops in Iraq of Afghanistan. I don’t see anything here that leads me to believe they were training for anything but domestic ops. The commanders own statements kind of point to that.
