- What branch was it?
- I seem to recall the Marines getting into severe trouble
- when, on a training exercise, a number of trainees were killed
- by the training, leading to an overhaul in the way the M.C. functions,
- resulting in the current policy that a trainermay not touch
- the trainee. Thus, one would not be able to have an officer
- practice violent instruction and be accepted as a member of the
- Corps. I realize that individuals will do whatever pleases them,
- however, and so there will be isolatd stories of abuse.
- Training by violent method can be effective but it
- can also be counterproductive in the sense that the trainee
- can be 'turned-off' to the subject, by associating it with
- violence and hectic authority. This brings up some interesting
- topics for psychological discussion, but I don't feel like
- pursuing it.
