the era of \u00dcber political correctness has struck the a brigade in Army’s 4th Infantry division.\u00a0 Before I get to commenting too much about the major douchegasm that a full bird Colonel just had, I’ll let you read what he wrote.<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

\"Hazing\"<\/a><\/p>\n

\"Hazing2\"<\/a><\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

Done reading?\u00a0 Are the NCOs in the audience turning red?\u00a0 that’s right sports fans, you are no longer to “smoke” your privates, as this might be considered “hazing” and is counter productive.\u00a0 Correcting deficiencies will now fall to sending the hapless privates to a class and inspecting the deficiencies until they’re corrected.\u00a0 There will be no unique or embarrassing corrective measures.\u00a0 The memo makes it pretty clear that all the measures that were effective and novel in making sure shit bag privates square themselves away most ricky-tick will now be a thing of the past.<\/p>\n

Pah-THETIC!\u00a0 Look any private that isn’t terrified of his NCO’s wrath obviously has some bad NCOs.\u00a0 Everything from cleaning their room, to having their weapon cleaned properly and in a timely fashion are vital to military life, and though the Army can sometimes focus on the bullshit routines of garrison there is nonetheless a solid reason for each of those routines.\u00a0 Having a private yell out “I LIKE TO F**K MY BUDDIES!” as loud as he can while running in a circle holding his rifle over his head might seem cruel at first glance, but ask that private if he’ll ever flag a friendly with a loaded weapon again.<\/p>\n

I have learned a lot of vital lessons because an NCO took me out to the grass and smoke the crap out of me.\u00a0 Because I knew that my NCOs would come down on me like a ton of bricks my uniforms for Motorpool Monday formations were always pressed and my boots were so well shined I could have used them to shave with.\u00a0 Because of an NCO making me do elevated push ups while I listed the parts of a 9-line, I remembered them.\u00a0 Because of an NCO dummy cording a giant brick to a guy and making him carry it everywhere, I never forgot my weapon.\u00a0 These lessons have a way of staying with you too.\u00a0 Even now long after I’ve gotten out of the Army I’m always early to any meeting I might be having.<\/p>\n

Expecting the NCOs to churn out quality soldiers that can go anywhere do anything, while simultaneously tying their hands up makes about as much sense as a poopy flavored lollypop.\u00a0 Unfortunately the society that America is becoming sees adversity\u00a0 and hardship as having no value.\u00a0 Everyone is a special little rainbow.\u00a0 All we seem to be producing are obnoxious self obsessed fat assholes.\u00a0 How we expect our Army to continue to rock and roll kicking asses and taking names when we can’t even drop someone is beyond me, but no doubt that is exactly what we’ll be expecting of them<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
