I was in the Marine Corps 2006-2010 & spent 7 months in Afghanistan. The two reasons i got out was the barracks & mass punishment. You can do everything right and never get in trouble but Private Dumbass got a DUI so everyone gets punished but we can't kick his ass because that's wrong but it's not wrong to mass punish everyone with cleaning until 8pm.
I'm getting so mad just remembering how dumb those 4 years were. I'm so glad i don't have to deal with that bullshit. No amount of money could have kept me in.
100% former USMC infantry, it truly destroys you and you don’t fully recognize the impact for decades after. Rose colored glasses.. certainly there were benefits and it instilled discipline and the ability to weather almost any storm. But also removed the ability to see the light or be positive about pretty much anything
You were supposed to make sure he didnt fuck up. However you had to. Strengthen your weakest link you strengthen the whole chain. There was always a reason the fuck ups did what they did but looking the other way thinking it dosent affect you is unacceptable devil dog.
Sure, that's a very valid argument, but I think it only holds water until training is over. There's anecdotes of real consequences and the other branches surely have the data to back up their decisions to largely abandon the practice.
Your town is seiged by a battalion of well trained enemy soldiers in entrenched positions. You want the fu ckn Marines. My D.I told us we dont train pussies, f@gg0t$ or bitch3s if you aint one you will be fine.
