Why did you say you on my reply boards that gulf war soldiers should be broken down to build them up. So you think if you tell gulf war soldiers to go through utter truma. They would all go "oh yes thank you it is really great fun". Is that what we here from people in wars. Why don't you just actually think about what damage that sort of attitude does. Why can't bullies understand the massive damage they do to people.
Bullying does not build people up.
I am fed up with the sort of person who thinks abuse builds people up.
Using your logic we would have torture as part of school to build people up for adult life. You would think women should get traped to build them for rape, or that all people should get abused as children, to build them up for even wrose experioeves in adult life.
The fact is abuse does not build people up.

If soldiers really enjoy being broklen down and it really helps them, why is it they want people back home to support them. Why aren't the US generals telling us to hate the US soldiers and to shout abuse at them. If you really think sodliers like being broken and hated why do you think the US generals aren't doinbg that. The ansers is simple you;re wrong. It doesn't do people help for anyone to break them down and make them feel ike scum.

I am sorry IF you are trying to be friednly to me, and if as a result my comments sound offensive. Bullying is evil end of story, full stop.

I never said anyone should be abused. I just pointed out that military recruits (since the Spartans) have been broken down before being built back up into soldiers. This is how you build strong armies.

No, obviously I don't think we should "abuse" any of the gulf soldiers, or the recruits. BUt I think the gulf soldiers, when they were just recruits, were broken down initially, and then built back up again.
