It's stupid things like that, that made me decide NOT to stay in the military. I'll be getting out in August. There's too much red tape and paperwork B.S. We're too concentrated on being "politically correct" in EVERYTHING we do. We can't just go get the job done anymore, we have to do it their way so nobody cries about it.
The effects are easily seen as early as boot camp. It's not nearly as tough now as it once was and I believe the Corps is paying for it by some of the people that are in it now, that would've never made it through boot camp in the past.
