GTOJudge68, I remember the vehicles getting stuck, I had a radio in my vehicle on Col Holders freq. I can remember how pissed he was getting, I remember he wante choppers to pick the ammo up and advance it for the tanks, I was in 2d ACR during Desert Storm

The quality was terrible, it wasnt formatted right, bad sound and was fuzzy...... but other than that it was very good

I will believe that when they take on someone their own size....

[douglasmacgregorTV]

That's the whole point--to build on this for the future not slack off and expect to only clash with weak rebels.

this why the United States Army is by far the best land force in the world

hey dont forget about uk remember we r the best allied country in world britan may be smaal but we have advanced millatery

[ajr666]

I agree completely. The Brits make up for their lack of numbers by designing superb equipment such as the Challenger 2 tank, Typhoon and F35 fighters, and Astute Class Subs. They also provide top notch training to their forces. Im glad we have them as our #1 ally.

You are 100% right about the wheeled vehicles in a battle like this. I was with 3/17 FA during this battle and our heavy platoon had a hell of a time trying to keep up. At one point every wheeled vehicle in our platoon got stuck in the sand including the HEMTT ammo trucks. My 2-1/2 ton (deuce) was the only wheeled vehicle that was able to handle the sand (I still maintain that the deuce was the best wheeled vehicle the army every fielded).

[douglasmacgregorTV]

Why have ANY wheeled vehicles when we have the money and industrial capacity to be all tracked?
