but what if you already know you don’t belong there and had no choice i the matter? What is gained by abusing a human being like that... for the mere sake of abusing them? There is nothing glorious or attractive about it to me. .... Where DON’t you belong? There was no abuse, but,there was rising to what you can do and seeing you could do more. What is attractive to you may be what is attractive to all pansies?
My BT was in Fort Dix NJ back in May of 1971. Every DI I had was an Airborne Ranger. BT was not easy for some but I took it in stride. Being raised on a farm, I already knew what hard work was about. Many of the draftees never had a callous on their hands, the lateral bars was terrible for them. MY DI’s were just as forceful and loud as those marines depicted in this video.
Understood.
