to further illustrate how unimportant ippt is....take the war
with recruit australians and seasoned japanese veterans of elite
marine units in world war 2.
----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
japanese marines:
1)chosen from "samurai" districts from ancient times from mainly
Kochi city and outlaying districts
2)Genetics of people in that area were mainly samurai types
fighting and recruiting people to fight for shoguns due to them
being fabled warriors of Tosa province
3)Traditional japananese fiercest fighters since feudal japan
and trained using US Marine standards
4)seasoned and experience with years of warfare
5)had simple arisaka rifle with only a machine gun for a
battalion
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
australian soldier:
1)had unfit ,in experienced,1month BMT and 16 year olds
from accounts of japanese soldiers
2)had like more US made submachineguns and light
machineguns in a 5 man team from photographs in a battle with
japanese marines.
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Results of the battle:
the australians won and japanese were so badly defeated....the
japs didnt even bother much about collecting the human remains of
their fearless fierce samurais even after the war.
one japanese marine platoon commander had to kill an
australian kid in battle who killed off his
fierce samurai platoon with a submachinegun.
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
conclusion:
its not bout your exposure to various army indoctrination
programs.....its all about the state of the art
weapons,equipment and strategy u are issued with that counts.
the rest like ippt are optional.
u may be a seasoned gold medal athelete from the olympics and
may hang around with the best of the best wasting ther time
and effort on being an athelete too.but what u dont know is that
there are probably inexperienced people with the best technology
that may finish u off overnight.
IPPT is a total waste of combat time,money and effort.should
just be optional as it takes time and lotsa beef to build up
strength and body.
Dun compare different countries with SAF. Every army has a
different MO for war.
