I went to Navy boot camp, where my biggest problem was not laughing. And OCS was even a bigger joke than that, except for the academics, which could be a bit challenging.

They are training people to go meet the enemy on the field of battle and kill him, and they've got their panties in a knot over a little grab-@ssing. It's insane, and it's not fair to the men who will be cast into battle without proper training.

One aspect of training is to learn to obey orders, which this captain failed to do.

I would not want to go into combat with any trooper who complained about some bashing into wall lockers.

A drill sergeant is only trying to make you tough. After all, in school, you might get hurt playing dodge ball. God forbid that red rover was unfair.

Kids today are wrapped up in bubble wrap until they get out of school, then discover that it is a cruel world, where mommy isn't around to kiss their oweeeee!

I guess that's why American deaths in this war have exceeded 1,000,000...

Oh, they haven't? nevermind...
