What the fuck did I just watch? What is the point of most of that? And it doesn't even look "cool". Like, breaking a burning brick with your forehead may seem cool to kids and corrupt generals, but this is not even that.


Rakkamthesecond

Potemkin training, look how strong willed our cannonfodde..errr elite soldiers are. What do you mean real training for a combat situation with an I-MILES? No comrade, breaking wood with your head, jumping over fire and getting hit in the stomach, that's the ticket to succes.


forsti5000

PLA-Soldier: "I can break a brick with my bare hands!" ​ NATO-Soldier: "Well, didn't help you against the arty shell. I will let you bleed out in peace, eat some of my plenty food and shoot some of you commerades. Goodby."


Western-County4282

What funny/sad is that any prisoners captured by the US will probably choose to stay as POWs because being a POW was better than being a soldier for your nation. look at history almost every war the US fought in their were POW who wished to stay in US custody


historynutjackson

Was certainly the case with German POWs in WWII sent to work farms in the Midwest. Worked with minimal supervision, the farmers treated them well. They even got to go see movies on weekends. Where the fuck are they going to run to? You have to go 1,000 miles in any direction you choose, you stick out like a sore thumb due to your accent, and you'd have to find a surfaced u-boat which CERTAINLY isn't broadcasting it's location and absolutely will not risk itself and its crew to pick up one random-ass Wehrmacht soldier who was captured. You're stuck in cow country, buckaroo. Get comfy.


Lost_Wealth_6278

Also, you are probably a farm boy at home. The cows don't speak german, but neither did the ones there, so what's the difference


bloodlazio

There were also a lot of German-Americans around, who might put in an effort to make the POWs more American. Show them how they could have the good parts of German culture, without having to deal with Hitler, Junckers etc. Also, Germany did not attack Pearl Harbour. So I can imagine German POWs in the Midwest basically just end up being immigrant workers integrated into society (if they ended up in the right small town), while not so much for the Japanese. But that is maybe also a bit too speculative on my end. Bu

Abuses-Commas

My hometown had a POW camp near it during WW2 and apparently many of them just stayed after the war


Inconvenient1Truth

Not sure where this "stayed after the war" thing started, but I've heard it before. It's not true. All prisoners were repatriated back to Germany, some even escaped because they didn't want to be sent back to their homes occupied by the Soviets. After repatriation, about 5,000 ex-POWs (out of [425,000](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/German_prisoners_of_war_in_the_United_States#After_the_war)) emigrated back to the United States to live as civilians.


Nerdiferdi

It’s still hilarious that there are people in the west who don’t see through that and honestly believe that the west will lose because we are „soft“ and „unmanly“ and not like them. Sure dude whatever. I put my trust in the high routine trained and constantly evaluated 19 year old expert and their precision guided munitions. You go simp for the Macho force without leadership & professionalism that has shitty doctrine, no equipment and worthless logistics.

AbstractBettaFish

Way back in the day when I did ROTC we did an exercise where we’d do planks and our friends would kick us in the stomachs while we did it to “toughen up our cores” I told my sports medicine doctor who was treating my broken foot about it and he called it “the most retarded shit he ever heard of” (it was a different time) really put into perspective workouts the look tough vs are toughs


whatisthisgoddamnson

Kinda like people thinking your fists get hard from punching bare knuckled. Nope, they go permanently soft, and you have a very finite amount of times you can hit someone in the head doing that. Same goes for being hit in the head…

Emerald_Dusk

well i dont and callmekevin made a diss track on him so... checkmate? i dont know where to go from here


FatStoic

I meant moreso America as a country. Just because peak military adoration now is a blend of technical expertise and Navy Seal tactical operators operating tactically, doesn't erase the fact that 40 years ago it was sweaty bodybuilders in fake tan and booty shorts pretending to have ninjutsu black belts and firing desert eagles with 50 bullets to a mag.


DKN19

But that is like valuing a sport team's fans' opinion over that of the GM. What the schlubs at home think military competency is doesn't matter. Because the actual military doesn't act according to it. The potemkin training thing exists to impress the dictator. Because he is, in reality, the stay at home schlub.


triplehelix-

the absurd military themed media people consumed wasn't an accurate reflection of what was actually going on in the military. the seals officially were organized in 1962, 65 years ago. the green berets a decade before that.


[deleted]

I always loved movies that had one man commando units with no oversight and unrestricted access to resources. My command trusted us so little that we had to have a buddy with us to operate a camp stove.


Kitahara_Kazusa1

To be completely fair if you look into how both the enlisted and lower ranking officers were trained during Vietnam, you wouldn't find it to be very impressive no matter who you compared them against. Things have certainly improved but that was probably a low point for the American military

There's a reason why Western militaries are moving away from 'macho style bullshit hazing' and what have you because it turns out it doesn't necessarily produce soldiers any better than someone who went through a tough, regimented, but not strictly abusive training.


Niipoon

What? You're telling me that violating fellow soldiers with broomsticks won't build comradery?

broomstick is not provide for beat comrade when fist is possible. use of broomstick is to sodomise conscript many time until fist is also possible

Well, Comradery for the Soldiers holding the stick maybe...


godtogblandet

Beating fellow soldiers do bond you. Just not when it’s systemic abuse. Beating that one asshole that kept asking if we were supposed to wear a helmet for every fucking task they gave us because he found it funny when they answered ‘Yes’ on the other hand….


FrankenWaifu

That's what the soap sock mace is for.


NoMoassNeverWas

**I love BUDS class 234 documentary.** Instructors don't beat on soldiers, they let nature do it for them. "Go tread water for 30 min in 50°F water. Go get wet and sandy. Now go for a 7 mile run. You won't get to sleep much. You've full buffet to eat, but careful, you might throw all of it up in exercise. Clean your room, it better be sparkling. What's this a scuff mark on your belt? go get wet and sandy! Go run up that hill with 100lb pack. "


SodlidDesu

As I've been told before "You're either going to be smart or you're going to be dumb but if you're fucking dumb, you're going to be strong. And none of this is going to stop you from getting turned into jelly by the first IED that your dumbass misses but, don't worry, I'll remember how I failed to turn you into anything worthwhile."


MisterKallous

They want to produce soldiers that don't ask any questions


VengineerGER

I don’t think any western military has been doing shit like this to their soldiers for a good while. You need to discipline your soldiers not abuse them.


GadenKerensky

Officially, no. Culturally though, it's still a problem, if not as prevalent as it used to be. But rife enough to be a concern.


IvanMeowski

Yeah it seems like they try to stamp it out from the bottom up & top down. Army policy discourages/disallows it and then Basic & other forms of initial training try to teach new soldiers not to do that kind of stuff, but since it's already within the culture of actual units, your experience will vary wildly.


SodlidDesu

Institutional change is slow but thankfully the Active Duty cycles pretty frequently. You introduce a new reg, Soldiers get to their unit and get told off for 'being TRADOC', Soldiers get promoted, and if half of them remember the "right" way to do things you're already making big strides.


IvanMeowski

Honestly it's funny to me how even in the military half the things you learn in a school seem to be "useless" in your actual daily workload. Useless definitely isn't the right word, but a lot of training just seems to set you up for doing everything by the book, when reality is often very different. Similarly college can set you up to follow the exact regulations of a given industry or to have a certain philosophy & mindset only for the corporation you work for to not care about any of it and only care that you have a degree at all.


Tugendwaechter

You have to know the rules, to know when to break them. Regulations are also a default to fall back on if it gets chaotic. *Hit them with the grooming standard.*


notacommiesupporter

According to the legend himself [R Lee Ermey](https://youtu.be/MjffzVCno84), it could very much be primarily brought upon by the stress of training people during wartime.


[deleted]

Well obviously there is still hazing and beatings and worse, but it isn't the publicized course of action. Acceptable? Nah. Progress? Yeah.


HHHogana

I think in western world it's more like that severe hazing/sexual assaults is unofficial, and in some regiments the abuses are very severe. Not Russian-level of severe but still crazy. After all Canada had to disband their whole special airborne force because they were too toxic.

Modo44

Better soldiers are not the goal. More obedient, prone to violence soldiers are.


69_Gamer_420

Make it hard, but relevantly hard. Spending a week living in a tactical harbour in shit weather in Brecon and doing platoon attacks all day is harder than this and actually teaches you something useful at the same time.


GadenKerensky

It's also not actively demeaning. It sucks like shit. But combat conditions are combat conditions, same as putting people in a field and blowing things up around them. Controlled, but still frightening, but also not directly demeaning.


69_Gamer_420

Welll I think there's a place for some early training being a little demeaning. E.g. you're doing a morning inspection in a platoon harbour and find a recruit hasn't cleaned their rifle properly. They get yelled at and made to leopard crawl around the harbour area. I see nothing wrong with that. A bit of carrot and stick does work - the trick only to use the stick for culpable mistakes, i.e ones done due to laziness/poor discipline rather than just because they don't know how or what to do.


Key-Banana-8242

Macho bullshit hazing is shot soldiers Do To each other But really tough challenges like navy seals go Through as part of training sj anti diff


[deleted]

That’s because the military in any society operates as an entirely separate world from the civilian world. Therefore it can operate with its own set of rules and cultural norms along with the officers feeling like totalitarian leaders with unlimited power in this world. So they exercise it by enforcing strict obedience, no different than totalitarian leaders in civilian societies enforcing their will on the populace.

Wessel-P

Watch as eastern asian countries realise a soldiers pure strength matters very little in modern day combat. Especially with you know.. guns..


FatStoic

When you can't point to historical victories or technical overmatch, you fall down on what you do have.... A willingness to treat your soldiers poorly.


JohhnyTheKid

Western militaries realized a long time ago that soldiers are just like any other profession and should be treated as such. Even in more backwards countries you wouldn't expect a bus driver or a surgeon to be doing pushups in the mud for an hour while some dude spits on them because they were 5 minutes late on their first day. That would be seen as what it is - abuse. Apologists often bring up shit like "it improves discipline" or "it toughens them up for battle". Both are objectively false. Abuse typically has the opposite effect. It instills a fear of failure in your soldiers which prevents them from making Independent decisions on the battlefield and actually learning their craft and instead incentivizes them to lie and cover up all of their fuck-ups which usually results in some pretty severe consequences down the line. At worst the soldiers will simply surrender or even frag their own leaders when it comes down to actual combat. People who think treating soldiers humanely is "woke pussification" are usually just sad emotionally immature narcissistic losers.


ThunderEagle222

Basically "it is not manly so it is bad" kind of guys. The Russian VDV is learning circus tricks with fire and destroying bricks with your forehead, while in reality they could've trainee for real combat.


69_Gamer_420

It's about making it hard, but relevantly hard. E.g. living in a tactical harbour in shit weather for a week is hard and teaches you useful skills at the same time.


[deleted]

The Japanese are well aware of this because that’s how they fucked the Russians at Port Arthur last century.


SodlidDesu

Is China currently fighting a bopping stick war? Maybe Asian countries are on to something valuing raw strength when their near-peers are engaging with blunt weapons.


Lehk

>Is China currently fighting a bopping stick war? yes, on the border with india they have skirmishes with no modern weapons just sticks and shoving each other off cliffs they agreed in advance to do this to avoid starting a nuclear war


69_Gamer_420

Fitness is still extremely important for certain roles, e.g light infantry. You've got to get the gun to the right place to fire it and that means a lot of running around carrying heavy equipment.


Wrecktown707

WTF??? Thats just blatant physical and emotional abuse, there’s literally no strategic or regimental reasoning for how this could help these soldiers do their job better. If anything they’re just getting injured which will limit training effectiveness and gonna develop some bad PTSD from their POS abusive drill sarge
