I remember being in Marine Combat Training, a sort of fourth phase after boot camp when Saddam invaded Kuwait in '90. Training took on a much more serious nature after that.

Remember some of these guys that are actually doing the training are reservists now since the regulars have gone to war already.

I can imagine it's much more intense these days.

Has the USMC ever taken draftees ?
