Default Re: They have pussified basic training

Uhhh ... that's a buncha horseshit, Ryan.

The all-volunteer force doesn't have the time or the resources to spend on slackers who have to be knocked around to stay in line.

The changes in many of the policies (no physical "correction", etc.) started long before the radical increase in the number of women in the ranks. The changes were made because they were not found to be effective methods of training, and for no other reason. My grandfather told my Uncle that his training for WWII wasn't nearly as rough as his had been preparing for WWI. I heard the same thing from Master Chief Petty Officers who had gone through boot camp during the last two years of WWII, and E5s and E6s who had gone through it during 'Nam. To borrow a phrase from John Prine - "the faces change, the lines all stay the same."

People join the military for a wide variety of reasons. Some of the reasons people joined the calvary to fight Indians are the same as the reasons they join today - 3 hots and a cot/a paycheck/a better way of life.

If you think it's any different now than it's ever been - lay off the John Wayne movies, bro.
