Cruel & Outdated Training Methods

[Grace]

Back to the original point of this topic. It seems that the military uses pigs in other ways that could also be labeled animal cruelty.

It's not poor planning, it's reality.

No it was poor planning from the very beginning. Think May 1, 2003 - Mission Accomplished

We're going to have to agree to disagree.

Poor planning for 200 years? Somehow I doubt that. TRADOC has it's issues, but they do have a pretty good idea about how to train soldiers.

Yes, we do disagree and neither of us will change the other's mind. No problem.

Not sure where you got that 200 year figure. I was referring to the much more recent past - 2003. That's only 5 years by my calculations

What do you have against the men and women serving in our military? Why so prejudicial against them?

I have absolutely nothing against any military man or woman. It's the
the military mind-set that some take with them when they leave the service.
It doesn't mesh well with the "real" world where we all have an equal voice.

All the men in my family served in the military. No women that I know of.

Though you say you have nothing against the military, your comments about "drinking the kool aid" and when someone gets to be a "big man" certainly show otherwise.

I agree. It's also annoying when, if you don't agree with them, you are then accused of having something against the military, the USA, or being unpatriotic. It's a bit single minded.
