U.S. Army: 5 Reasons No Nation Can Beat Them On the Battlefield

As in 5 weapons...
by Michael Peck

The U.S. Army's hard-hitting, self-propelled howitzers have taken a backseat in America's recent small wars. Nonetheless, they remain highly potent weapons.

When it comes to lethal weapons, the U.S. Army has no shortage. Some may be too expensive, some too complex and others may be desired by politicians and defense contractors, but not the troops on the field.

Nonetheless, today's U.S. Army can generate an astonishing amount of firepower and deliver it in a variety of settings from small-war counterinsurgency to big-war mechanized combat. With that in mind, here are five of the best U.S. Army weapons:

These are cool, but it's the training and the spirit of our soldiers that make the difference. Awesome to see the Ma Deuce on the list 100 years and still going strong.
“The way I see it, every time a man gets up in the morning he starts his life over. Sure, the bills are there to pay, and the job is there to do, but you don't have to stay in a pattern. You can always start over, saddle a fresh horse and take another trail.” ― Louis L'Amour

You just can't improve on perfection.

I am deeply saddened to see the 1911A1 not on the list where it belongs,though.

Anyone who isn't paranoid in 2021 just isn't thinking clearly!
