EP1/6 Surviving the Cut – Ranger School
Posted in: War
This first episode features the US Army Ranger School, which is considered to have the toughest combat course on the planet.
For sixty-one days and nights, this extreme training replicates the nonstop stress of warfare. Soldiers sleep an average of three hours a night and receive just one meal per day. They train continuously, running missions 20 hours straight in mountains, swamps and dense woodlands. Most lose 20 or more pounds before it’s over, and many quit or fail the course along the way.
Only one in three make it though.

“Soldiers sleep an average of three hours a night and receive just one meal per day. They train continuously, running missions 20 hours straight”
Oh hey, those are exactly the brainwashing techniques used by cults. Which is exactly what the military is, and always has been, a cult preparing children for ritual sacrifice.
It’s, just kind of sick.

I”m sorry but this is sick. This isn’t so they survive, it’s so that they do whatever they are told without question. America is so lost.

You people have no respect for those who have sacrificed so much so you can live a life a freedom. There is nothing sick about brave men and women wanting to defend this country, these people training for the special forces represent the best America has to offer. If you want to bash our soldiers or disrespect our country, you can go ahead and take a bus to Mexico because I’m sure you will be wanting this “cult” around to protect you from robbers, murderers, and drug cartels. Semper Fi to all Marines out there…I can’t wait to join the few and the proud. HOORAH!!

Shows like these are great. They tell us how the best soldiers in the world are trained. Whatever country you’re from you have to respect your soldiers because they are willing to die for your country and its inhabitants. It is the same everywhere.
Personally I like to see what training elite soldiers need to become the best.
They should make some documentaries about the sayeret matkal and the spetsnaz to complete the picture!
