Comment on I am an American. I used to be proud of my country. Now it feels like a turd circling the drain. Is there anything going on behind the scene that America is actually doing good in?

  By what metric? It’s far better trained and equipped than most any other military, especially elite units.

  Unless you’re talking about how the Finnish army whooped us in some exercises, on their home turf in winter, at which their entire nation is super-specialized in? I’m sure if you stuck the Finnish army in Florida for an exercise they’d be the ones whooped.
