That’s a training problem, which, BTW, is Bush’s fault— when Rumsfeld went rummaging around for extra infantry, the mechanized units were a ready source of manpower and their training was cut even more as their budgets only got worse under Zero.

Yeah, that happened in the artillery too. But the Leopard 2 is a better tank, in my opinion.
