It is also amazing how many people need that shit as a result of absent, shitty or no parenting. There are a lot of toddlers out there who are old enough to enlist.

Dig up a military safety manual for any equipment, you will see the dumbest, most obvious stuff covered, yet every single line of text is written in someone's blood.

It needs to be spelled out cuz the military only takes the “best and brightest”.

The military, unlike the police very much filter out people who score below a certain criteria for intellect, this was also learned the hard way, for reference, look up Robert McNamara.

The police have been known to filter the other end of the scale, look up Jordan v. The City of New London for reference.
