Maybe two years ago I caught a program on the Military Channel about the UK's Royal Marines. Once, as good as ours (maybe). But NOW, the DI's have to 'be nice' to recruits during training, and if the recruits still don't 'like it', they can quit!

The Royal Marines are supposed to be a highly-trained and motivated light infantry commando force. I would have thought that forcing people who don't want to be there to stay is not really the point if you are trying to find the kind of people who won't quit when the going gets tough, even when they are given the option of an easy way out...

2/3 of SEAL tadpoles quit during training.

I guess this proves SEALs have wimpy training. (I graduated from BUD/S Class 105 in 1979.)

I can’t believe the # of blithering idiots on this thread.

Hey Condor51, SLY STALLONE AND CHUCK NORRIS DID NOT SHOOT REAL BULLETS IN THOSE MOVIES.
