I can't disagree with you; however, I don't like seeing Americans die on their own soil in a mishap from another American. Me thinks that maybe these kids got a little cocky with the locals and... well, they got knocked. The CO is probably going to catch some flack on this one.
The sad truth is that some of these students should have never made it past the selection committee. They are arrogant self-centered bastards who won't listen to anything anybody has to say because they think they know it all. The problem is somebody promised Congress "X-amount" of new SF troops each year,and this has screwed the system. If not enough competent and qualified volunteers come forward,people who should have flunked-out pass instead. People who should have never been accepted to start with.
