If they can't handle the stresses of boot camp, how can they be expected to handle the stresses of combat? I sure as hell wouldn't want them next to me in a fox hole.





I agree.

No, I didn't enlist. I wish I had been able to. Health won't let me. And it sucks.

The DI's should be doing their damndest to scare the [censored] out of the weaker recruits and showing the leaders how to do it right. The breakdown is needed for a few of the weaker recruits to get their arrogance out of them.

Today's youth being smarter? Book smart, maybe. Individualist, definitely. A fit for military? No way. These are the kids that need their asses whupped into shape and to show them that it's not the easy world any more. Nothing is going to be handed to you gently, and nobody is really all that worried about their "sensitive feelings."

They're breeding soldiers ready for a video game war by doing this, NOT the real thing.
