Inches is a meaningless unit of measurement here. I just played with it some and its actually a pretty well done responsive design. You simply choose to use a very unusual viewport size. It scales very well at small sizes and only looks somewhat strange at odd sizes that are too small for 4 columns but awfully large for only two. I managed to make it get a little wonky if I continually resized my viewport up and down but that's an edge case at best.
nope. inches isn't a meaningless measurement when it comes to web design when it comes to considering accessibility...... 1920p monitors vary in size to a degree, but when making a website you have to take into consideration all of that...
-
plain and simple, the website is not taking enough consideration. the website simply doesn't display in a desirable manner if the window is less than 13.75" wide on a 1920x1080 monitor..

also, i even just grabbed my tablet. samsung. biggest screen on the market. if i view the americasarmy.com/aapg page it doesn't display properly on tablet either. if i rotate the tablet into landscape mode it has less issues (some elements do NOT scale and are too wide to see entirely, so the right side just gets cut off). if i view the page with the tablet rotated in portrait mode then the boxes try to adjust, but they are too big and they cover up the text written in the background, the top and bottom of the site, etc...

view this at 1/2 you 24" display and say "it looks great...."

there are 2 entire sections you cannot view because the big boxes completely over lap them.

Mission Editor Logo

Create your own missions and shoot houses with the AA:PG Mission Editor. Try your hand at the objective editor which is simple to use but powerful enough to create a complex mission. Or use the Advanced Editor - the fully-featured environmental tool set used by the developers to create missions and environments. Then share your creations on the Steam workshop.
and tell me where is the logic for an element on a website to more than double in size when you shrink the size of the window??
Keep in mind that when you go to that size the assumption is you are either doing weird things on your desktop or more likely you are using a tablet. I think it looks fine.

i'm doing weird things on my desktop?
when i go to what size? a size that is still wider than standard format?
looks fine?
viewing a webpage on a desktop/laptop in a browser window less than 13.75" wide is not supported? on what planet are web designers from these days?
why on earth should i be required to use 14" of real estate on my 21" wide screen... just to view a "page" on the internet? next you'll tell me i am doing something weird by having some strange thing called a printer with a standard format of 8"x11" on this thing called paper. should i be expected all software today to use up at least 14" of screen space? because reasons?
if modern day web designers can't understand plain accessibility issues, then well...

Looks great to me. Resized my Chrome window to 1/2 of my 24" display. Looks great...
