Maybe a replica of DC would be better suited. Thats where the real enemies of our freedoms reside.

Urban warfare training in realistic conditions is something the Army has been doing ever since I can remember.

They have training sites out in the desert , very close to where I live, that would blow your mind. Ground ops, air ops, water ops. Very detailed and realistic.

A terror attack can happen on.water, from the air, or out in the middle of nowhere. It's damn near impossible to train soldiers to prevent a random terror attack. Get real.

We need urban training for places like Fallujah.

We have no business being there and I doubt they will be running into very many sports stadiums there.

I'm simply saying that any good Army infantryman should get plenty of urban warfare training. I did, and it's very useful. I was able to apply much of it when I earned my EIB. Especially learning to move under fire and estimating enemy distance.
