No they don't your an ignorant idiot, thats probably never been in any sort of military training. Have you ever been to Army Infantry basic training?
They teach you to be disciplined, pay attention to detail, and to shoot move and communicate to keep your battle buddy from getting killed. They don't teach you to kill everything that moves. They teach you how to think on your feet. The Infantry positions (infantry, Special Forces, and Rangers) are the hardest jobs in the military. Yes you have some war mongers. For example, the worst thing I ever heard was, Kill those poon jobs! They're referencing to people whom are trying to kill you.
At my basic training and OSUT they actually made us learn over 200 words of Farsi and reccomended we download Farsi from Rosetta Stone when we came home over exodus. They taught us courtesies, and we actually had to study them, and re-test on them like we do on basic medical things.
Even the Marines are taught to think first, I had 3 prior service marine Drill Seargents. Look all I'm saying is some of you have the idea or thought that Soldiers are taught to kill and kill and destroy everything. No more than anything most of you probably get this concept from the video games you play. It is much much different. I can attest to that! As can several others. Why don't some of you actually try talking to several people in the service branches and start to wake up and realize that these people, the ones that volunteer for a job that protects our country, MUCH MORE THAN SOME OF YOU SEEM TO KNOW, and put there life on the line when duty calls get paid nearly nothing and ask for nothing in return.
I've met some of the best people in my life through the Army. I trust them more than anyone I've ever met in the ski industry, or through skiing. It's all so fickle. I've been promised things I've never gotten when working for PBP and part time at Level 1. They're great guys, but they won't have your back like someone in the Army. The brotherhood that you get from working with these guys is unreal and only an experience you can have while being in this type of career field. Why don't some of you get out from behind your Michael Moore movies, and slanted media on the internet and find out for yourself what it really is and really means to be part of the military.
It will give you a better future than bumming it up in ski towns tell your 40 wondering where your life went.
