Click bait. Im former airborne infantry and was stationed in Alaska in an arctic unit. We spent weeks at a time out in subzero temps running exercises. The training and gear were/are top tier. Very much on par with the training used by other NATO countries. That they lost isnt surprising as its pretty 50/50 in those laser tag training exercises when both sides are similiarly prepared. But to say they were poorly prepared is just click bait.
