actually I'm a military vet fool.... and I clearly said other lengths of time too
navy is 7 weeks
army is 10
air force is now 8
marines is 12
tech school is exactly that... a school to learn your job in the military... not war time fukking training
if you go in to be a chef... you go to chef training... ground radar... ground radar training.. etc etc and there are over 180 jobs in each branch
in other words... COMBAT training isn't even the whole time of boot camp and that's about the only time you go to straight up combat training. you might get a refresher every few years IF that.. a few exercises every so often... like I said, I was in there. and as a ground radar tech, we went to every situation cause you always need radar
you know that 50% of all war time kills are by friendly fire?? that alone should tell you how trained these dudes are. it just happens there are usually more of us, with bigger, better and more weapons than the enemy
other countries are straight up training DAILY
our military is not full of some elite war force... most are kids trying to get a free education... and that goes quadruple for cops... they train even less and have to act on it a lot less frequent. a team of 3-4 civilian people can shoot 11 of them and kill 5.. how elite can they really be
