Tank treads wear out faster during wartime conditions? Spares are harder to find in a war zone? Prewar estimates aren't dead-nuts accurate?
Shocking news. Thanks Mr. AP man...
It's shocking to many Americans, who don't know jack sh** about the military, and could care less about it 'til the enemy's at the gate. This is the price we pay for having a smaller and smaller proportion of our population that has military experience. This is the price we pay for the national mindset that's been cultivated since 1974, that military service is for the other guy. The birds are coming home to roost.
Scouts Out! Cavalry Ho!
