This ties in well with J Burden's recent show with Clay Martin where they talked about the destruction of military traditions like the Blood Rifles in the name of the "anti-hazing" crusade.
P.S. the only time I received training that was actually difficult and dangerous was in Ranger School. RS was what I imagined Basic was like when I was a kid, and frankly, its what Basic should be like. As Hackworth has said, a 1% casualty rate should be acceptable in military training, otherwise the training is not doing its job. That would be unimaginable in the military today, as it was even back in his time. Cant do a livefire event without a damn near 1:1 safety-to-soldiee ratio

I originally wrote this one on both BCT and unit training, but I decided that the two deserve separate articles
