I know the article is old.
Anyone served/serving who can comment on this?
- US Army will no longer require recruits to show adequate hand grenade skills
- Change is being made because many enlistees 'can’t throw it far enough'
- Recruits also won't be required to pass land navigation course to graduate
- Army's redesign of Basic Combat Training is aimed at instilling more discipline
- Many on Twitter used the development to attack influx of female enlistees
- But the US Army denied that the change had anything to do with gender
There were 3 things that happened that told me "we are fucked" as a country.
1- When they started lowering standards in the military. 2- When spanking your kids became basically outlawed. 3- When children started getting arrested for "bullying" instead of parents teaching their kids to fight back.
After that, we started seeing "safe spaces" and "gender pronouns" and all that other bullshit. That was the beginning of the "cry baby" and "victim mentality" snowflakes generation.
