it's all part of the system,
apon joining up theoretically you could be the ideal soldier work hard and learn much, in that case SAS style teaching would work, but most recruits are from a wide variety of fitness and backgrounds, so the army has to get everyone to a standard condition. of course poeple drop out, but that's part of it you will grow stronger and note their failings.
i am an outdoor activity instructor, so i work with people alot, getting a huge group of people to do one thing for instance getting a group to divide into 3 is hard, friends want to stick together and people want to be away from others, if you gently say, "please divide" some will, some won't hear and some will rebel.
if you get straight to the point, and clearly state loudly an orderin an authoritative voice, it will get done alot quicker.
once you have a small group then you can talk gently, as you can meet properly.
this is all the army does, just getting you trained and sorted in the quickest time, shouting is far quicker than a gentle discussion!
immagine the "trooping of the colour" without shouting orders? naah it ain't gonna happen! you can't quietly discuss stuff with sevral hundred troops. :rolmao:
Nothing more
