Hiker Cole Matthes describes an 11-hour ordeal after falling on Mount Washington, admitting he was underprepared for the harsh winter conditions. Despite being rescued by a team of 11 men, Matthes declined an ambulance and drove himself to the hospital, where he is recovering from frostbite on his toes. New Hampshire Fish and Game criticized Matthes for his poor decisions and lack of proper gear, and is considering seeking rescue costs from him.
Ukrainian troops trained by NATO are reportedly underprepared for the war with Russia, as Western instructors lack experience in this type of warfare. The training provided by the West is safer but less comparable to actual warfare, increasing the risk of things going wrong during live operations. Western armies have primarily focused on fighting insurgencies in the Middle East, which is not relevant to the conflict in Ukraine. Ukrainian troops require training that specifically addresses the tactics and strategies used by the enemy. Additionally, NATO health and safety regulations limit the level of training Ukrainian troops can receive. However, the Western training does provide Ukrainian troops with valuable equipment.
