People miss the point on this.

The Elite military training programs are intentionally designed to weed out all but the toughest and most capable men because that’s what it takes to do the job in actual.

By dropping standards, you are doing the exact opposite.

In some of the foreign Special Forces they have a truck called something “The quitter cart” filled with Special Forces trainers following the trainees who are in the process of being put through hell and pushed to the limits of human endurance and deprivation in the most extreme environmental conditions imaginable.

The trainers drive up and down the line sitting in comfortable chairs set up in the back of the truck with feet up, shoes off and drinking beer and eating great food and smoking cigarettes while begging the trainees to to quit and join them on the truck so they can weed the mentally weak, the quitters and less than fully motivated and committed out of the program.

Of course they also use the same to truck to transport trains who collapse from exhaustion or who are injured during the hard training to the base hospital. This a very coming occurrence in training.

As trainees they should know better than take the bait.

They wanted to be here so it is at that moment they commit.

If they give up then they do so willingly.
