    Knowing when and how to suffer and still grit your way through it is THE most important skill one can have in the military.

    The "need for" isn't going to change the "reality of". Normative social influences will lead people to do/behave in a setting the way they think others in that setting behave. They are going to be more inclined to do the same things their uncles told them they did than they are some official policy.

    Then you should argue that we should dismantle our military because it will hurt the enemies' feelings to send our troops down range at them. It would have more intellectual honesty than the statement you just made.

    Laughable.

    Assuming from the narrative that the victim is gay, haven’t the two of you condemned Muslims for throwing gays off roofs?

    Yet you support good ol American Marines doing it on our soil?
