Pentagon Fears It's Not Ready for a War With Putin
2015-08-17
More serious was Odierno's warning that "only 33 percent" of the U.S. Army's brigades are sufficiently trained to confront Russia. That's far short of the 60 percent needed. Odierno said that he does not believe the Army will reach those levels for several more years.

#3  War with Russia should be high on the list of the Pentagons concerns - right after 1) Global Warming, 2) Muslim Outreach and 3) All the Other Shit Going on in the World.

#1  Odierno said that he does not believe the Army will reach those levels for several more years.

Just imagine how scared the Russians will be when confronted with G.I. Jane.
