Pentagon has begun sending conventional ground forces to Panama to train in the jungle.

    Imagine sending your super troopers into the Jungle to train for the 1st time, and you’re hypothetically up against Venezuelans/ maybe even Colombian forces in their hometurf who’ve been training for decades in guerilla tactics. It would be Vietnam 2.0 all over.

      Vietnam didn’t have Russian drone tech refined in years of active combat, this will be an outrageously expensive shitshow for America
