United States.
It seems hard to ignore the fact that the armed forces of the United
States are training for urban warfare, not urban warfare in the Middle
East, but instead here in our own nation.

metropolitan setting in the United States, they would train in an
American city.
Unfortunately, this is exactly what we are witnessing: increasing amount of training in urban American environments.
The Los Angeles drill is just a microcosmic example of this, and one of the more disturbing developments is the announcement of a “mock city roughly the size of downtown San Diego” which has been erected recently at the Twentynine Palms military base.
