https://www.msn.com/en-us/news/worl...da1e2c5a014b59ac1a810fd627572c&ei=17A specialized U.S. Navy dive crew and a unit of Polish Armed Forces engineers were traveling Friday to a training site in Lithuania to help with the recovery of four U.S. soldiers who were first reported missing Tuesday. U.S. and Lithuanian personnel were still working Friday to access the site where the soldiers' M88 Hercules armored vehicle was found 15 feet underwater Wednesday in a swamp on a training site near Pabrade, Lithuania. Thick mud and soft ground were keeping emergency personnel from accessing the vehicle and complicating the multiday recovery effort. "The area around the site is incredibly wet and marshy and doesn't support the weight of the equipment needed for the recovery of the 70-ton vehicle without significant engineering improvements," U.S. Army Europe and Africa said in the statement. "Draining the area has been slow and difficult due to groundwater seepage."

Why is this in the bunker?
Never been to a camping world. I prefer Dick's to be honest.
