Ryan ... your questions alone suggest you don't have a clue what you are talking about.

Are you saying that today's military can't fight because the training they go through doesn't meet your idea of what it should be? Upon what do you base this?

Little tip for you if you join the military - read the original article that TE posted. See that little sentence about a Captain in jail? That tells you all you need to know. The command had to be pretty fucked up, because Captains get letters in their records - they don't go to jail.

Quite frankly, did you ever stop to think about what happens to soldiers who need an ass-kicking to get motivated when the "biggest fucking asshole Drill Seargent" is too fucking busy staying alive to keep "pull[ing] you up by the neck"? They find a nice quiet hill to go over - and not in the direction of the fight.

People may go in for a wide variety of reasons - but the person coming out of basic training isn't the same person that goes in. The military has spent millions (if not billions) of dollars to figure out that the kind of asswipe who requires that type of "motivation" never gets over it - they will ALWAYS need to be beaten into submission. Today's military doesn't have the fucking time or the fucking personnel to deal with slackers that need to be beaten into doing what they're supposed to be doing.

If that type of treatment was required to train the personnel - that's the kind of training they'd be getting. You can challenge good people to do their best without smacking them around. You want to get smacked around and called names - hire a Dom.

Hate to tell you this, dude, but the 50s are over, John Wayne is dead - and what the military needs is different too.
