Current Events QTR 2 Week 3: Armor School's 1st Bradleys Hit Benning

Fort Benning is one of the most brutal places on earth. This is where  all branches of the military are trained this includes Armor school. Three M2A2 Operation Desert Storm Bradley fighting vehicles arrived Friday at Building 5205. Now Fort Benning is training new soldiers how to use these Bradley Tank Systems. This tank is now a needed resource in combat overseas.
I personally am surprised that Fort Benning is not already using this vehicle in training. I also understand because the Bradley Tank System showed its worth in Operation Desert Storm. I don't really see the point of getting more tanks when there are already so many in operation. Also, isn't it expensive to build more weapons when the economy is so bad? I think they could spend the money better.

    This does raise some serious questions, especially considering the present state of our economy. How long can we continue to buy these tanks, but can we afford not too?
