Mindless killing machines get cut down by MG fire before they get a chance to kill
Full Metal Jacket is a good way to see how Marines train(depending on how accurate it is, I have no idea really)

I'm told it's exactly like that, except without all of the swearing and physical contact now. I think officially there's suppossed to be one arm's length between the recruits and the DI's at all times.

I.E. we can't weed out the weak ones anymore. Some nancy-boys got sad because the mean instructors yelled at them and used nasty words.

The gun katas. Through analysis of thousands of recorded gunfights, the Cleric has determined that the geometric distribution of antagonists in any gun battle is a statistically predictable element. The gun kata treats the gun as a total weapon, each fluid position representing a maximum kill zone, inflicting maximum damage on the maximum number of opponents while keeping the defender clear of the statistically traditional trajectories of return fire. By the rote mastery of this art, your firing efficiency will rise by no less than 120%. The difference of a 63% increase to lethal proficiency makes the master of the gun katas an adversary not to be taken lightly.

im reading this book, called we were soldiers once, and young. its about this air mobile division, and in it, its talking about american army soldiers in crappy fortified defencive positions getting charged at by hundreds of NVA, and getting wounded three times, and continuing to fight all the way untill their positions were over run, they were disarmed, and ultimatly exicuted. (disarmed by means of being badly shot up that is)


no way do i mean to belittle him, but in all services and all branches have equally courageous men. exept mabey the navy.
