I agree with the sentiments in the OP, that is why I oppose the military in principle and I am highly suspicious of those who have served. Although people deny that "murder" and acceptance therof is part of the training, I believe it has to be.
You are a very negative person. Christians shouldn't make generalizations about stuff like this.
It's no wonder that racism continues to have such a grip in the US. It's no different to say "I am highly suspicious of any one who has ever served in the military," as "I am higly suspicious of anyone who is of Irish descent."
It's predjudice and immoral.

*Gasp*
Anyone who served in the military is a very suspicious character in deed!
Gunny, Eldermike, Dewjunkie, MSBS, Cenimo, Wolsley and all of you others... next time I hear of a crime in your neck of the woods... you can bet that the police wil knock down your door first.
I can hear the sherriffs now
sherrif: "Round up the usual suspects."
deputy: "Will do! I have the VFW and American Legion on speed dial!"
LOL

Reps: 140 (power: 0) | | | A selection process is designed to find the individual who will continue to strive for a goal when most others will quit. Now... the difficulty level of the selection process will determine the caliber of individual you will recieve regarding this aspect. The greater its difficulty (the more people quit) the more proficient the soldier will be *usually*. He will be able to think *competently* under extreme stress--operate in extreme conditions--fight when others don't want to--and therefore will usually win.
BUD/S is considered by many to be the hardest military selection process in the world, which is why so many people say they have been through it. However, 9 out of 10 people who say, "yea, I was in the SEAL teams back in ---- " never really were. I know about 7 guys who went to BUD/S... only one of those men made it.
All one has to do is produce a class number and name, and it can be verified via a website that authenticates SEAL claims. They are former SEALs who have a data-base which the Navy provides for them of all BUD/S graduates from each class. I do hope that the individual claiming such things on this web-site will provide his class number and name.
take care  |

That's a great site, some of my shipmates and I were reading through it a couple of months ago. We got quite a few laughs out of some of the stories.
Would you care to PM me that link, I can't seem to find it anymore.
A far as the toughest training in the world, you should see what the North Koreans put their special forces guys through. Scary bunch!
