US Army drops throwing grenades as requirement to graduate

[Taco Junkie]

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.

Here's your young generation...

This new generation of kids is nothing more than a bunch of FAT ASS, WHINY, SELF INDULGENT, SELF ABSORBED, INDOCTRINATED DEMOCRAT PUSSIES.

I'm 62 and what "I" consider out of shape, but I'd stand toe to toe with any of these lard ass little punks and knock their fucking teeth out, or to be more colorful and use a military phrase... "I'll rip off your head and shit down your neck."

High_Plains. But, but, but....that would be a WASTE OF SHIT!
The new generation called Millenials...or Generation X will all be LOST if they have to move out of Mommy's basement. I am thankful OUR grandkids aren't included in those WUSSY groups.
Our oldest grandson (15), is now in College. Honestly. He's been interviewed by some man from "MIT". Talk about thankful, and proud. He even laughs at the SNOWFLAKES.

Waste of live ammo...

"(hmmm.... maybe we ought to let them practice with more live ammo)"

Even if they did use Live Ammo. They'd find more reasons to hide, whine, and cry. Asking to go home to MOMMY. They wasted enough...pretending they wanted to be in the military.

Waste of live ammo...

Nah. You can stuff about 5 recruits in a grenade pit

Maybe 3... they're all FAT ASSES now.

Gives them more time to learn other important stuff... like sensitivity training and figuring out what gender they are...

[High_Plains_Drifter]

JUST heard on Fox News in the morning that a NEW report says that SEVENTY FIVE PERCENT of all new recruits FAIL to meet the standards to enlist, either they're too FAT or they have a RECORD or they're too stupid or whatever... SEVENTY FIVE PERCENT!

And keep in mind, this is the same generation that's out there MASS MURDERING people. There's obviously something wrong with these people. All the liberal bull shit that's been rammed down their throats in schools is coming home to roost.

Recruits who are raised with a sense of entitlement, no discipline, handed participation trophies, no respect for authority, and all the physical traits of a jelly fish..... what could go wrong? Some of these kids have never had to do any work of any kind, think they know everything because the played thousands of hours of XBOX and had no sense of responsibility because mommy and daddy and the government takes care of them. The same kids are taught that soldiers are robots, their teachers tell them that military members are the "lowest of the low" and all that other crap. The are raised as some kind of genderless mush without any idea of how they ae supposed to act in society and they can only relate to another human being through facebook and cell phone texts. Why in the hell is anyone surprised they are not fit for military duty?

Damn You! Always hit the nail on the head!

I trained both OCS classes and recruits.

This breed these days would break their neck if they looked straight ahead instead of staring in their mobile device.

....and....half are cocky, Hollywood indoctrinated punks.
