Nor does it teach our soldiers how to run, duck, weave, and engage using live ammunition in a combat situation. It comes down to a soldier's ability to operate effectively under fire. We cannot have troops who are so ill-trained that the first time they experience carrying live ammunition is when they are sent into action. Junior commanders and NCOs are right to worry about the safety and preparedness of their soldiers. There is no substitute for live-fire training.
War is an ugly business.
It takes no notice of Occupational Safety and Health regulations. Men need to train accordingly.
