Watch this if you dare, tank training:

It will not make you feel safe.

Here are a couple of select starting places, 6:30, 10:40. Loading 62 lb shells in rapid succession while moving, twisting and turning with added G forces in multiple directions.... no, she can't do it no matter how many push ups she does. Most of them can't. Their little heads rattle around in helmets made for young men like cartoon caricatures.

These kids have already been to boot camp and a lot still look like jelly donuts or 12 year-old kids in their Dad's old clothes playing soldier. Some of them aren't even shaving yet and some never will. I guess you don't have to shave to be combat effective but the bucket of testosterone, piss and vinegar that go along with needing a shave probably help quite a lot.

The non-coms doing the training may be even more pitiful than the children they are training since the have to buy into this crapola and do.

God help us.

These kids have already been to boot camp and a lot still look like jelly donuts or 12 year-old kids in their Dad's old clothes playing soldier.

After I retired a second time I decided to become a manager of a small uniform/tactical store about a mile from my house. We live a hand grenade's throw from the training side of Quantico Marine Corps Base. The store did everything from alterations of their uniforms, making and sewing on their name tapes, to selling gear and helpful things that allowed the new Second Lieutenants to make it through the six months of The Basic School (TBS).

One of the classes had a tiny little girl, about 5'0" and I found out she weighed less than 100lbs. She was one of those posturing, pretend tough-male, lesbians and brought her "wife" with her. By the way, her "wife" was a real cutie.

During Range Week her class decided to march out to the ranges and stay the week rather than return to the barracks every night. The Company Cadre decided to let them and made a list of everything they had to pack out for the week. They were notified by some of their TBS students the pack was about 125lbs. They marched out with that load. The little girl couldn't carry the load that weighed nearly 30lbs more than herself.

Two weeks later a couple of the male TBS students were in the store and told me she had to drop out because she couldn't take the physical strain. They were pretty happy and alluded to that girl being a nasty pain in the butt, always flaunting her feminism and lesbianism. She was using her "status" to maintain a hair trigger on complaining about discrimination due to her being a girl and her mental illness as a lesbian.
