Trust me on this, some truly bad motherfuckers have tried. One was my oldest brother when I was only 15 and he 22 ....

I fear nothing for myself but only have fear for those that I love.
The worm that I put on eternal ignore here, was stealing my damn time, and that I could no longer abide my friend...
This is only to make a point (not to insult you)... the point that there are men that have walked thru hell (for decades as I once did) such that have and survived are unbreakable my friend..
And yes real demons have tried , for decades--they failed too. -Tyr
So if a Drill Instructor is in your face telling you what he's going to do to your mother, sister and unborn children you can stay at the position of attention? I don't think you understand what "break you down" means in the military. All I got to do is make you break the POA and take a swing. Breaking the POA means a lack of self discipline.

And I started out as a recruit and it was done to me. I ain't no cherry. You stand there and don't flinch or you'll have 3 Hats up every orifice of your body in a heartbeat. And they will torture you to death.

You have to be able to detach yourself.
