Quoting thehandsom: Almost, every new comer is treated like sh*t in the army (almost in every armies though!) |
I think that's true during training yes. Isn't there a theory about breaking men down before you can build them back up or something?

Quoting AlphaF: Quoting azade: Alpha why don't you join the army again? I'm sure those wussies could learn a lot about being a man from you..  |
Definitely....but this honor is bestowed in turns...I've had my turn ! |
I'm sure they would take you back. How about Nazimiye, Tunceli? I know the boss (sorry not familar with honourary titles) there wants to retire but can't.

That is correct to some extent...Those who can not take orders, suffer at first........but they all get over it, quick enough !

Why don't you open your eyes to what's going on instead of dodging and changing the subject?

An example from my memories:
There was this boy with us when I was in the army..His name was Cevdet (nicknamed jojo-26 years old, I think). After the training, we were assigned to this group of 40 men. There were three of us jojo, me and another guy. he was sleeping in the next bed from me! We were all uni graduates. And somehow, we pushed/persuaded jojo to be the team leader. And of course less responsibilty you take less chance of coming into contact with the superiors and then less chance of being shouted at!!
And, he was shouted a lot..I mean really a lot..humiliated infront of everybody really badly. several times..I knew it was coming. And he lost his marbles..marching up and down by himself in the corridors, chanting, singing national anthem ect..And he was sent to hospital called GATA..2 weeks later we learnt that he died!!Still dont know how..but possibly somebody thought 'enough is enough' and hit him or something.
He is still in my mind and you know sometimes I accuse myself for that too..Because I should not have pushed him to be the team leader. I could have done it instead of him and he could have been alive now..
And there was an enquiry later on..we all have been asked why and what has happened..
And the entire process was pretty scary to be honest. It was the only time in the army, I thought, I may not make it through..
And all those happened after the training!!

Look, I dont wish to be hard on you, nor do I wish to hurt your feelings...but you have to understand one thing..
When it comes to my fatherland, your boy friend's petty problems are mere trivia for me.
