“Most of these soldiers have never been in a fistfight or any kind of a physical confrontation. They are stunned when they get smacked in the face,” said Capt. Scott Sewell, overseeing almost 190 trainees in their third week of training. “We are trying to get them to act, to think like warriors.”
When I was in GRADE school we were fighting. Things sure have changed.

When you were in grade school they probably didn’t expel you for using your hand as a gun.

*** When I was in GRADE school we were fighting. Things sure have changed. *** Yep. Same here. We were always fighting. About once every two weeks and it was always among 'friends'.
Even after Grade School. In HS I averaged one a year, but those weren't with a 'friend'.
Heck, I had some of my best fights with my two best friends. And they're still my best friends. And I still only have two of 'em ;-)
