I've got lots of years to put against such a silly statement.

However, I've seen an entire Grafenwoehr rotation sent home. The point is this: training is not supposed to kill people.

Anyone who doesn't realize that they'll call a safety standdown as soon as a death occurs hasn't really been there that much.

So do I, and don't call me silly. Again, a safety stand down is a safety stand down. I've seen a Corps stay in action, with a calm, dedicated, reasonable approach to an adverse incident. Training didn't kill anybody. What the people did killed them. The lack of training killed them. Stay in place to learn, to be trained. Your kind of hand-wringing is useless, will kill more people, and above all, shows disrespect for those who lost their lives. Also, I've never met an Army Chaplain so proud and brave as you. </spit>
