Every territorial soldier who did his basic training will tell you he is the elite of the elite, the sharp end of the best fighting force the world has ever known blah blah blah. Really military training is not the best way to do anything. Its a way that most people can get right, most of the time, and a way that a bunch of guys that can't find their shoe laces most of the time let alone tie them can be made moderately effective.
Some people come out of the military knowing all kinds of stuff. They are lost in the mire of the thousands of people grossly exaggerating their effectiveness.
Before you all have a cry, I have spent plenty of time in the bush with ex-army guys. They are like a perfect cog in an awesome machine, trained extremely well to do the job of that cog. And what can a cog do if you take it out of the machine? Not much.
Been there, done that, got the T-shirt. I will believe the "military elite" line when I see it. Yet to see it.
