How about they go to afgahistan and ask them there?

@Bubo25 Soldiers have always been tough, mentally and physically. Men are meant for war, theres a reason why well we used to be strong because we were meant to fight for things. Wars should be between people, it keeps population low, it seperates he real men from the pussys and its better ot have infantry fight rather than nuke an area and contaminate it for many years to come. And all of those injuries or traumas are apart of being a soldier, if you cant handle it then dont sign up.

@KenFranchino I'd like to see you in combat and watch your best friend's guts explode on your chest and you hold him when he dies crying just for one more chance to see his daughter, wife, or mother. you think your tough but try having PTSD motherfucker.

@619sandiegoSD

You are spot on with your statement; however, I must add that: what make a soldier perform at his best is good equipment.

[619sandiegoSD]

What makes a good soldier is the soldier himself not the gear.

[Bubo25]

@KenFranchino And that's a bad thing??? Better an easy push button war, get the enemy out of the way fast than come back with PTSD, limbs missing, or worse still, not come back at all.

@123nypd true they are

[KenFranchino]

I think were advancing too much...i mean seriously soon the soldier isnt going to have to anything and just rely on his equipment to do everything...it takes away everything a soldier used to have to go through. Soldiers back during ww2 or vietnam had to rely on maps and and thier buddies next to them. Thats what made a soldier brave and tough now its like they fucking push a button and the suit or weapon does everything.
