Spetsnaz go through some tough shit in their training... they practically brainwash them into mindless killing machines. They manipulate them to think they are invincible, they even have a huge pit in their main HQ that goes down about 100 ft and at the bottom there is a bunch of spikes for their soldiers to test their ability, i cant remember the exact dimensions of it

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.

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.
