[@1zbossz]

I was going to make a joke but then since you were actually in it and felt the difference I decided to delve into thought and figure out why you might feel that way, here are my thoughts. Im thinking, that its because two generations before you were born the people from that time fought through WW1 and might've fought again at WW2 and have lived through the Korean War, many who have lived through all those were probably still alive at the time of your enlistment. The generation before you have fought in WW2 + Korea, and probably had there fathers fight through the First and Second. you were probably really young when WW2 happened or didn't exist, but the higher ups and personnel did some who hand fought at WW2 and maybe both. On top of that they had also witnessed the power of nukes first hand. The country had just endured two back to back wars that has left nothing but devastation and death of over *100 Million people !* countless countries were destroyed, cities were literally wiped of the map. The personnel from your your generation have lived through insane times. Then Korea and straight after. Now Vietnam, is when you enlisted, is happening and on top of that you're having a different country is threatening to literally wipe yours of the map (the Cold War). Nukes were only recently used and everyone is on edge and nobody was going to be afraid of using them. Shit was *extremely* serious back then. Now at the time of your retirement most countries have developed nukes and that has removed its threat because no one would dare to use them, using them would cause your own country to be wiped out because they got some too. The imminent threat has disappeared, the threat of great wars has disappeared. Things aren't as immediate and fast anymore, also the generation that was left at the time of your retirement have only experienced Vietnam. Yet, I wouldn't underestimate an army that is still at conflict, this video is an extreme exaggeration, because in the end experience trumps everything and those have experienced it wouldn't let shit like that slide. Damn, I wrote an essay, I'm not even American lol.

My platoon during Basic was lucky enough to make our Drill Sergeants not wan't to grind us into dust after our P.T. tests halfway through, and allowed anyone in the platoon to eat ice-cream for one meal, albeit one SMALL scooping they did themselves from the soft serving machine. The other platoon's Drill Sergeants freaked the fuck out and did a witch hunt in our platoon to find out who actually ate any of the ice-cream. There's always the one snitch so the 4 of us, including myself, who actually did eat it (It tasted very bland and watery but it was very cold and felt great eating at the end of a hot day), and they wrote all of our names down. P.S. Nothing happened, our 1st Sergeant found it an acceptable reward for improvement. Our platoon was mostly women so most of the scores were pretty bad at the start, but they made a really quick turn around in my opinion.

In basic training I was nicknamed Matilda. One day I was offered a piece of cake, I wanted to take the cake. I did not take the cake as I knew of the consequences that would most certainly follow. Because I refused the cake it was now disrespectful to the fucking prick DS who had offered it. I chose and ate this cake as it were my last meal as this was a no go situation. The entire platoon watched me eat this piece which turned into a full cake. Thus leading to skull drags in the barracks until I shit myself. I haven't eaten cake in 7 years.

The '96 recruit is closer to my generation, even though i went to basic in '99. I gotta say the portrayal is accurate because as you touched on, this was the gangster hip hop era which i remember vividly. Gotta remember back in the mid to late 90s, every kid was wearing baggy pants listening to rap. Popular movies of the time were films like boys n the hood, menace to society, blood in blood out, american me.. hell even the white boys had american history x, which was about neo nazi skinhead gangs. These movies along with the music influence had everyone thinking they were hard, even suburban kids... these are the kids drill instructors had to deal with, and no doubt enjoyed breaking down. I went to marine corps bootcamp so we probably had more knuckleheads than other branches. I remember seeing one or two recruits try to get buck with the drill instructor, then get smacked down.

For the ones who served in this comment thread I thank You for your service, Not for your attitude You cough out towards people. Respect is earned when respect Is given because you served and I salute you, I came across a marine Who Told ME off By saying if they served Because he was wearing a Shirt In support of marines, he said OF COURSE he served went on to call me a F**king Faggot was very rude towards me and got up in my face. Anywho how would I know if he's in the Marines or not? maybe he's wearing that Shirt for a family member who's serving his Or her country I did not know, people do that you Know. All I got was a freaking disrespectful Marine who bad mouthed me while people watched on in disbelief, I even walked up to him and still thanked him for his service and said have a good day, even though I was about to lose it And Would Have broke My fist over his head but I kept my cool under pressure. I'm sure he was just stressed so I brushed it off. But To all Who served I thank you for your service and Even if someone calls me weak or Stupid for posting this comment I will say Lighten up No harm done here just my experience and Don't Mistake Kindness For weakness.

He told me son I seen some Crazy stuff in my life seen many of my friends pass away and Seen military buddies go away I've seen so much that it will make your head spin He had marine friends that made fun of him but He did not shy away from making fun of them too. At the end of the day He said We all Served our country Greatly and We all Bleed red on the inside He sees no other military branches He sees Friends, Buddies And tough soldiers I said Dad as I hugged him That was Great and I thank you for you service, as I embraced him.

He said the entire platoon sat there in horror, shoving food into their traps while all they heard was screaming coming out of the mess kitchen.

@@natas0733 Mostly jokes. Yes, it has gotten softer than it was in 2006 for me, but it's not this fucking bad. A Drill will still slap the ever living fuck out of you if you decide to talk back.

Our drill sergeant showed us this in BCT back in 2017 and we all laughed but now: No more shark attacks, no passing APFT or ACFT tests to graduate until 2022; rifle marksmanship, land navigation and grenade throwing are not graded. It’s crazy

08/65 Fort Jackson, SC and I feared that DI! Took a kid whipped and shook him into disciplined youngster. 53 years later eternally grateful.

After 23 years active duty, that is about right.

My dad was in the military for his career. 1986-2018 and he agreed with this. My brother was thinking of joining after he graduated in 2012 and said my dad talked him out of it because of this.

If this is your average soldier, I guess it explains why they seem to use spec ops for everything these days, lol xD

or marines

[@edwardbrito3332]

The Army is like regular world you got dentists, cooks, truck drivers, pilots, lawyers and cops (that will give you a ticket for going 5 km or less over slow speed limit). The main difference they have is you have to pass a physical condition test... maybe a good thing for the regular US, you have to know some basic tactics and shoot to certain proficiency in the prone or kneeling and the key thing there is killing job from tanks, infantry, blackhawk pilots. Before you give regular soldiers shit... realize most citizens aren't police ready or squat team. You think a soldier in combat is going to call 911 if their getting shot at? Elite forces are the best trained killers but compared to regular civilians that panic at everything trust me on average a soldier is tougher mentally.

Yep navy seals and marines

Tony M say that to a Marine's face dipshit. Marines are actually making their tests more difficult and aren't falling into PR pressure; they're the only branch that doesn't allow phones in boot camp now too.

1996 lmao! 😂😂😂😂😂😂 I got in so much trouble as a squad leader at MCRD San Diego for laughing at a recruit who was getting broke down just like that. I got my job back and never laughed again. That was on point!
