Yep!....They have no shame putting these folks in front of a seasoned experienced Russian machine. Six weeks training! Disgusting!

During the Vietnam war Basic Training was 8 weeks long and in 1972, in the 9th Infantry Division, we were taking troops straight from Basic and training them ourselves, skipping AIT.

Five weeks of sophisticated no-nonsense training and then being sent to their unit to learn the rest of what they need as defensive soldiers, is not the worse it gets in wars.

“...seasoned experienced Russian machine.”

If they had one, it wouldn’t still be fighting to get out of the Crimea.

How many weeks of training did you have? Oh that’s right, from the lack of military knowledge you have exhibited in your posts, you never had any.
