I just read this whole article. The word for it is pathetic.

The Unites States military has perfected the art of realistic training. From the National Training Center at Fort Irwin, California, to the US Navy and US Air Force Aggressor Squadrons our military has learned to train as it fights and fight as it trains.

The young Marines who go through this training will make mistakes and learn valuable lessons in an arena where it is not fatal to do so. They will then take those lessons and apply them to real life situations in Iraq.

This training saves Iraqi and American lives. It is a valuable tool, and for a wet-behind-the-ears college student, who knows nothing about military training or the purposes behind it, to be ridiculing it would be laughable, if it were not so tragic.
