Now that I'm out, and can't be "smoked" for asking this question. Why in the hell all the abuse in the Army? I mean I can understand P.T and training, and mental discipline, but I went through the last so called "Hardcore" bootcamp in '99 and only 30 made it past basic training out of 60 guys. It just seamed alot of that crap was uneccesary. I remember this guy that joined our unit, and he was small and they fuked with him majorly, I can't figure out why. They tortured him so much, that he lost control of his facial movements, and had slurred speach. They also made him carry 175lbs. on his back when he only weighed 130. Is it because on the outside you would get your asses kicked real bad, that in the military because you have rank and troops to back you up, you take it out on who you want? It was like never ending. It didn't make me tougher one bit. If anything I was more broken down after my 5 years than when I signed up. Wouldn't you want everyone to be in super shape?
