Please Tell Me This Is Not True
Check out the article at Mind of Man (hat tip to Emperor Misha) about Ranger training, and someone please tell me that it is not true. Please tell me that an elite fighting force has not been reduced to this level of incompetence.
If this story is true, then some heads need to roll. No, the training is not supposed to be easy, the people going through it are supposed to be the best of the best. At this rate, the bad apples will not get themselves killed, but will get a lot of other good people killed. If this report is true, fix it now before it becomes a real problem.

If the soldiers can't handle the stress of Ranger training then they certainly won't be able to handle the stress of scaling a 150 foot cliff on the coast of France only to begin their mission of taking out six 15mm coastal artillery pieces while taking machine gun fire. I suppose they were being cussed at in German too. Oh the tragedy.
