Army BCT Now Trains for Combat Like a Stress Free, Gentle, Low Stakes Fat Camp 

exactly. standards are the same and better yet ask any one in they will disagree.

Really good point!

this whole video was proof of that. Sleeves rolled up, boots unbloused. They all looked ate up like soup sandwiches.

the fact that they even have to respond to a question of their standards dropping means something prompted the question in the first place... likely their standards dropping lol

They fired everyone back in 2013 when they were bitching about this.

the new army is cheating the kids from a great life experience. i wont change a thing. i deserved every beating and save me later in life from many bad calls.

💯

just wait until these recruits are actually in combat, they will be fucked.

Amen!

@@johnfisher8401 They'll be undertrained, some will die because of it. The survivors will come back angry at their crummy training.

👁️

If you think about it, or served. It's all pretty questionable. Of course you learn later, but then it's too late. A private does what it's told lol, and no longer matters. Whatever America needs. Merica

That whole going woke thing is a joke. The nonstop deployments and two decades of war did it. Recruiting was already down...it got worse.

Yeah im sure not joining im better off teaching myself.

If when we lose the moral upper hand we will end up like Rome.

They are turning the military into a stress free business casual environment instead of an effective fighting force

Makes you a better person all around. Showed in sports like football 20-30 years ago before it went soft how boys become men and take stress.

@@iankeller4839 Exactly! It's amazing how someone can literally grow up in 8 to 13 weeks doing it old school.

Scream at them in basic, so they're not affected by it in combat. Seems similar to me of training horses not to spook around gunfire and explosions. Let's just make a completely unprepared military...

It’s not just about screaming at them in individually, it’s about the way the collective stress causes the group to pull together and function more cohesively and effectively.

Train hard fight easy.

but i have a rainbow flag on my shoulder...instead of a usa flag, am i ok now?

@@JamesonsTravels let me run that by my dictator real quick....yeah no! 😆

@@JamesonsTravels how does your inner wacko woke warrior feel? 🏳‍🌈

@@JamesonsTravels Nooooo! Put the Stars and Stripes on your shoulder.

You're absolutely right, in real war if you have a soft military you're gonna get your ass beat

@Chris Davis Ivan is currently grinding your PMCs in Bakmut to dust. Don't be an idiot you all are to soft to face the bear.

The army doesn't want the kind of people that used to get all the time. They're trying to recruit smart.

@@markmcgoveran6811 sad times. Hopefully our leaders know what they’re doing.

@@hakeemtarpley2998 I'm sure they know what they're doing but I'm also sure it's pretty much self-serving.

They joint so they can go to school for free.

They canceled the shark attack because all of the crybabies raised 8in a participation trophy soft enviroment

Amen brother Marine.

This Do to the New Biden Format

They’re not going to know, they’re going to have to learn on the fly and learn some extremely harsh lessons in the absolute most devastating way possible.

Exactly!!!!!!

All our DS at Knox 69 were CIB holding VNV's . They knew what they were preparing us for !

He probably also lied to you. People always lie about how bad their experience was..

@@chuckdeuces911 Were you in the military in 75? Vietnam vets DS's are have crazed and brutally cruel. They are pissed at the world for the most part.

You mean fort relaxin Jackson. Easiest bootcamp in all of the army.

@@davidcook680 this is so true😂 they get their phones like 3 times a week

I love Canada Now for that exact statement. it's the only job. break shit and kill people while most supporting the effort.

​@@JamesonsTravels I'm also Canadian, our army may not be large, but it's really well trained, at least it used to be. They've banned gendered language a couple of years ago and added other woke policies.

@@chemistryofquestionablequa6252 The top end of the armed forces and the RCMP have been infected with ideologies AND corruption. This is bound to have a negative effect at the lower levels.

Canadians y'all got big balls, big bad military? Why haven't you done anything about that tyrant Trudeau? Little balls.

@@TaylorHaubrich Is that what you want? i.e. government changes by coup? The US, Australia, New Zealand, France, Germany and UK among many others are equally in need of a change at the top but once you have the military doing that, say good-bye to constitutional government.

We had "drill sergeants". They were PT studs and a few of them could spell basic English words.

lol....and they are one and the same

POLITICS!

Some decades ago the radicals in Washington realized the military is a perfect laboratory for imposing their utopian bullshit on large numbers of people. Get the Presidency or the Pentagon? The military is your toy.

They didn't "allow" anything. They got told to do these things. Your body is property of the US government while you serve.

@kevinallies1014 "he is talking about “they” as the Army as an institution." Whom composes the body of the Army? Does the Air Force control the Army? It was my understanding that the members of the Army compose the Institution. You can only serve one master, not two.

We pride ourselves in our doctrine, but our doctrine is constantly changing.

They make pu. Ys now

100 men will test today and only 3 will become green berets

abuse is never ok, even if its from the drill sergeants. and they wonder why everybody is so messed up in the head nowadays. the constant abuse from their abusive parents, abusive classmates, and abusive bosses. always being told that they will never be good enough. it messes up people's self esteem. they really start to believe all the put downs. that they are not good enough and they never will be good enough.

@jRex918 the problem is not that people are truly stressed, it's that people nowadays are told that they are a victim of something. Just like a muscle, you have to build up your ability to handle stressful situations.

If you can’t handle some yelling you WILL NOT do good in the stress of war. Come out of your pillow fort

and also sets them up for failure in battle, which they truly believing theyre "trained" for...

This video doesn’t fade me, only the string will make it

Id love to know you better, thats only if you dont mind cos you seems to be a nice and very cool person

The army is like a challenge, this makes us want to do well and drill sargents are meant to push us with their rough methods to success, they aren't training baby sitters, drill sargents are training soldiers ready for any problem they face, that is a drill sargents real duty

But they POGs - who cares

Keep dreaming. I'll give you this....the air force is a great alternative to military service

They’re already developing robot soldiers

Albiet our tech against Russia has show who would win.

@@RC.- figuratively and literally

@@dogguy8603 When the GPS system or technology is knocked out by an EMP then it's a soldier with a rifle and grenades. If you're only a button pusher then you're a casualty. You better be ready for hand to hand combat with an entrenching tool. Technology won't save you.

@@RC.- When an EMP hits the terminators then flesh and blood soldiers better be ready for action. Have that entrenching tool ready for hand to hand combat. 🪖 💥

Hard times make hard men. Winter is comiiiiiiiiiing. You just waiy till the chinese get the oportunity

​@@dookieheadhead Lol the Russians are already leveling up, not just the Chinese. This ain't about just the Chinese or the Russians anymore. Knowing that India is turning their back on us and making a new currency with China, Russia, and Brazil means that we can't even trust all of our allies. The US is about to be in survival mode.

Jared, I'm USMC, 1966-1969. My DI's never yelled, but were combat veterans, the Senor DI went through Korea and Nam. They. also, lead from the front, getting in the mud with us.But, never yelled.

Ejection port closed goddammit!!! Every single one of them were open!!! WTF please tell me infantry training is not another day care center. Thank God for leathernecks!! SEMPER FI !!!

Maybe it's a good thing what's happening. The army is being made inoperable.

Robots of old felt that way, the new robots need new programming but it’s all just poor people with few options being adjusted.

Thank you for your service sir

I have zero doubt. just looking at the product I see on base today compared to 10 years ago. it's shocking.

1990`s soldier here, you are 100% correct. Just got one question about this training. Where in the hell are their helmets!? Every bit of training we did it was in full gear. Running around without a helmet would have earned us a 30 minute pt session. This woke army is so soft.

2001 era BCT here. Sigh.

WTH, a 1962 BCT Company would annihilate these guys, attack their homeland and it would become a wasteland if they don’t run out of ammo first! God help them if they ran into a Company of Marines from 1962! Would probably have to reconvene the Nuremberg trials these current soldiers would be so mutilated.

Well that was also war time

Exactly. Will they be great at it? Depends on their upbringing and personality. But they will be 10 times better at it when put through basic properly.

Adapt or sink.

all you have to do is give them a video game. they'll tune out automatically. you think the red chinese are training like this, or the russians?

@@gord-tj6qs lol, the Russians get about 2-3 weeks and then join the next "meat wave".

Agreed. Weak military is a weak nation

Problem is, its mostly the Senior enlisted and people at the top who change things like these

It's senior leaders. Anyone either CPT or below on the officer side, or SSG and below on the enlisted side, 100% disagree with this.

@Chris Davis Yeah all 3 people here are pretending to be hard, why do you say that?

It's called a particular two star Generals is bucking to get a extra star put on his collar.

It a 2 star General is nowadays highly decorated college degree student fresh outta of college

They don't intimidate me..

Just imagine al Qaeda and ISIS saying okay we'll cut you a break u can catch my breath and get a water break 😂😂😆😆🤣🤣🤣 I'd be weak 😆😆 @Lane Dunn

@@sharkclub1 yeah, the army’s gotten soft

@Lanedunn5726. Yea my man don't you know that Russian and Chinese troops in the heat of battle will back off if they see a stressed out soldier. In fact they might even ask them what their pronouns are and apologize if they misgendered them. They'll also allow the female troops to shoot at them from closer distances (to fight systemic misogyny)

Stress cards are like big foot...only heard of it, never seen it.

Yes spent 20 years as combat arms Infantryman / paratrooper, they will learn more at their permanent unit, go to Airborne school, Infantry school, ranger school, still high standards been there, this video doesn't fade me only the strong will make it.

If you can not take the drill then you will not cope in combat ! Unbelievable what is going on !

It’s almost like our combat readiness is being intentionally sabotaged by bad actors looking to weaken/destroy our nation from within.

How many soldiers actually have a PT patch in the army percentage wise? That’s probably the percentage of real soldiers you’ve had at any given time. 90% of the military does jobs that civilians traditionally did for the military so it doesn’t really matter if you’re a quartermaster can you shoot a rifle if you can pack your parachute or amend it, so it works next time. But whoa to them if they encounter the enemy without the infantry around, and that is why we train them all to be soldiers anyway when you can no longer get the elite 10 or 20% that you need to actually fight wars, the whole system breaks down. Following commands and orders being obeyed are necessary for the modern military. But the kind of people who get into trouble and these kind of systems are also the kind of people that take initiative during war time. Without an economy in the future because of the population, how are we going to maintain the sea and air power that has really made us great as a Military? to be atheistic lovers of pleasure. Did you think there was a future people who believes that things? The problem with degenerate says they don’t see that there is a generous and wants to rule over normal people and make their degeneracy, palatable and force acceptance on the rest of the population in the end all day cause it’s chaos. I’m talking to you, Bruce Jenner.

Yes

Yup.

@@timmattle4730 The ambient temperature for shutting-down activities or exercises is a variable because the military uses something called "wet bulb temperature" as humidity is a major factor. High humidity preventing perspiration from evaporating will neutralize someone quickly if air temperature is higher than body temperature. I've worked in 130°F heat, but it was dry. Generally though, yes, lazy butt-covering officers will curtail activity when ambient exceeds body, because they haven't planned how to deal with it and assume their subordinates are as incompetent and lazy as they are themselves, and don't want soldiers having heat stroke. Casualties during exercises are bad for the Officer Evaluation Report.

The mommyocracy of America is in full swing.

​@@davidgoodnow269doubt it was humid in the desert

@@RRRRRRRRRRR956 Did you have a point, or are you just posting to see if anyone will give you any attention? I'm also guessing you have not spent enough time in deserts to be aware of how it feels after a rain there.

Jeeez man she had to senator go to bat for her

@@TheElevenBravo20hey now… when there’s a minefield and you need somebody to blow it all hell, you call us! Isn’t we let the infantry sleep comfy at night. I’m all seriousness, thank you for your cervix, brother!

@Chris Davis you again! Air Assault air assault! Airborne! Air Cav! All that air up there! Lol

12B 85-95, we had so many people in our basic training class we couldn't fit in the brick barracks and had to go into the old metal open bay barracks. It wasn't bad at all except when taking a deuce all the commodes were side by side with a sink across from them and open bay showers

of course and it worked for nearly all involved. tuning up for mistakes without hurting someones career was effective. outliers ruined it in the media.

Fort Jackson?

@@robertgiudice4854 Benning

Thank you for your service and your honesty. The army has done you no favours thus far by making training too easy. The next fight you may find yourself in could be the one where you are wishing you’d been trained harder. We had a saying in the British Army ”train hard fight easy“. Good luck and have a great career 🫡

Yea same here

Cause learning on the job or worse in combat is a great idea 🙄🙄.

moral is terrible. talking to a lot of guys in now. young enlisted. all types. its not looking good.

Well maybe the so called leadership should stand up and fight against it instead of being a careerist pig and constantly taking it in the ass. Our enemies smiles are just getting wider and wider.

@@JamesonsTravels A WEAK military invites attack. Whereas attacking a strong military is NOT something anyone would ever do. The whole of the western world has never been weaker not even in the events leading up to WW2.

Okay Vietnam veteran here. Things were so bad in Vietnam that the military was forced to draft and enlist mental category 4. Back then it mentions someone with an IQ. Of 85. Yes, the average IQ is 100 -110 . Just the facts . Believe me you could tell who was a 4 no disrespect intended to them , but, they had a harder time doing simple tasks .

@@ronaldbobeck1026 Looking at the state of society now I`d say that the average IQ is now more like category 4. Certainly it seems that some of our so called leaders do NOT even reach that high!

Soldiers then dealt with their PTSD and walked it off. It's why PTSD was unknown in service members back then. They just sucked it up. Now everyone has it just from being yelled at and it's now documented.

It's not democratic

Roman legions were way tougher than your old boss, they would have just killed him for being weak.

@@Shaker1000 wow, way to denigrate those with PTSD. where'd you get your degree?

@@gibbsm Rome fell to the barbarians in 476 A.D.

Did some training with Australian army soldiers. They're some guys you don't F with.

Hura brother.

What if AUS citizens were designated as the "enemy"?

Dont do it!!!!

Join a civilian defense force. Chances are thats what going to happen.

It was one of the most dissapointing experiences of my life. Once you get hurt you're useless and they throw you aside like trash.

If you were serious you’d have done it but go back to your video game

Just do it, focus on serving your country and not the noise. Do what is in your heart.

that sounds sad but true

Exactly.

at a min just get people listening to start. nothing can sim people wanting to kill you but stress card and soft tones are not the right direction.

I’m not sure where people Are getting the idea this isn’t a thing anymore, but my drills at basic (this year I’ll add) were 1000% yelling and cussing up storms ALL the time.

@@jenniferhiemstra5228 they're putting fake stuff on camera to not scare off people from enlisting in the military I'm guessing.

volunteer firefighters training way harder, shit cub scout camp outs look harder

Marine Corps makes it an upside duty for the lifer. Not a pick'em for people who dont want to be there.

All solid points. Letting idiots use the military as a stage for social engineering exercises is, well, idiocy.

the army was not down until they went full sjw in the ranks. once they started this guys choose else where to be tested.

@@JamesonsTravels the guy actually has a point. We went alphabet and gender equality Woke first. Then we plummeted the standards

Yes, Chef!

Even just regular infantry. We will pay a price.

Which is why it's baffling that this dude asking the video says DIs shouldn't learn camaraderie.

one thing they did in my basic was put the "fu*k up private" in charge of each small squad even tho there were smarter and fitter people in there ,that was to make you responsible for your unit even if you were thrown in with people who made decisions you didn't make yourself ....if one idiot didn't pass the physical training ,nobody did...that is teamwork ........there was no individuality ...you go everywhere as a unit ..........................these crybabies today are soft and think they know it all

@@historyfellow3684 our DI's used to "play" like they hated the other DIs and were trying to beat them like they were our squad's enemies hahaha..competition personified..........................................let the DIs be friendly with each other away from the troops ...our DIs used to argue about who had the best looking uniform ,best car ,best everything ......it was their way of saying "envy us" ,"wanna be us"

DS: "Gump! What is your purpose in this army. " Forrest Gump: "To do what ever you tell me to Drill Sergeant!" DS: " Gump! You are god damn genius! You're going to make General some day "

True but does not help that fi males have been forced into this. Kills the right of passage & band of brothers bonding.

its a terrible idea. give them some upside and entice them to want it. pick the people who want it. don't force people into it.
