So when we were pulling sleds full of our weapons on cross country skis in the Dolomites of Italy, we’re we preparing to invade the Warsaw Pact? When our platoons were navigating on foot from northern to southern West Germany in the winters carrying live ammo and weapons back in the ‘80s and used their train systems, were we taking over the trains? No. (But the Germans weren’t sure.)
Ever been to a Reforger exercise? Obviously not.
No, it called READINESS.
PING to my grunt friend
Eff your oh noes, civilian. Defense requires readiness, rehearsals, and a shit ton of training.
Peace through superior firepower (and training).
I remember pulling ahkio sleds loaded with equipment up the face of a downhill ski resort in Arctic warfare school.
I’ll never forget that training. lol
