There was a crazy ass Green Beret Vet in my hood, one of his his bitches back in the 70’s was that the SF of the 70’s was they were letting in fuck ups and fgts and basically letting any poosie in. None of which would have ever made it through his course!!! Ooh rah!
I read a book written by the boss of delta force
they make them do lots more then pick up logs
like, drop them off outside a military base and tell them they have 1 fucking hour to come back with a list of all the officers of the day for every unit. lots more then physical stuff
All the elite outfits, want smarter than the average grunt types for yer thinking on ones feet scenarios and sich.
