Terry,
I can tell you what I have seen from persnal experience down here. Those lessons so painfully learned are not capturing in the hard drives of some of the younger troops I have seen. I would imagine this has always been the case to some degree or other.
I have seen young SF troops not have a clue as to the differences and how to deal with them or even make the effort.
I have seen them not know and not care about the history and difficulties of the units they are attempting to train. Not know or care about the cultural mores, morals and taboos that prevent them or allow them to be successful.
Perhaps successful UW/FID is a calling and not everyone can do it. The more mature guys seem to be more tolerant and therefore more successful.
I agree, it would be very interesting to see how the training is done.
Lollypop sticks hangin' out the mouth is no way to conduct training in my book.
A RS type exercise should be part of ongoing training programs.
