āWorrying about the shine on bootsā is part of teaching them the absolutely essential process of attention to detail. In combat you have to do everything perfectly every time while under immense pressure. Remember the old poem about a nation being lost for lack of a horseshoe nail?So you are saying men cannot learn to soldier without being emotionally and physically abused 24/7? For someone like me who has a hard time with arbitrary bullshit the needless screaming and useless busywork was difficult to tolerate. They spent more time worrying about the shine on my boots than teaching me how not to get my ass shot off.Never saw the utility of trying to teach recruits the skills to keep them alive while deliberately keeping them hungry, sleep deprived and exhausted. People have been cracking up from this retarded way of training soldiers since the beginning. It's more of a hazing ritual than anything else.
Because when youāre in the trenches with bombs dropping around you itās just like a stay at the Waldorf Astoria.
