US Army drops throwing grenades as requirement to graduate
More of the limp wristed twist being forced on our armed forces. Apparently millenials haven't bothered to learn how to throw a ball as it spilled their frappes or lattes when they did and haven't developed the arm strength to get it beyond harming themselves (hmmm.... maybe we ought to let them practice with more live ammo) and their own troops. This is truly pathetic.
The Army says that starting next summer it will remove the requirement from its Basic Combat Training because it takes too much time to teach enlistees to throw grenades at an adequate distance.
