That is a nice sounding cliché, but in reality it is ridiculous and utterly foolhardy to completely upend and radically alter the training strategies that the military has been using for a couple centuries because of a few isolated incidents.the incident rate shouldn't be its defense since any occurrence is unacceptable.

And I submit to you that anyone who is not mentally tough enough to handle 2 months of boot camp had some pretty serious prior existing problems. I've done it. It's really not that bad.
Well, I'll take a couple centuries of training the worlds greatest armed forces over the opinion of some guy on teh interwebz.sorry but if the training strategies systematically rely on some initiation process that lends itself to single out individuals to be harassed and maligned based on their personal attributes then it needs to change.
I specifically said that in today's armed forces, racial epithets are not an accepted form of boot camp or plebe year training.It wasn't that bad for you. Perhaps you were lucky, but don't trivialize the traumatic experience of some who found themselves the singular target of abuse and racial epithets.

The fact that you have to deliberately misrepresent what is going on proves that what is going really isn't so bad.
Two things boggle the mind: something like this happening on a professional football team, and this thread surpassing 350 posts.
This year is shaping up into a bad one for the NFL in some weird ways -- Hernandez, Incognito, concussion issue, injury plague, Goodell running amok, Manning hype, cold-weather Super Bowl site, Fox and Kubiak, multiple London games, scumbag Ryan brothers still employed, etc., etc.

One of the first things you want to teach rookies is how to invest wisely, not to blow their money. So I can't comprehend paying upwards of 5000 dollars to buy a bunch of fat football players dinner that make 4 times as much as you never mind paying 15 grand for an absurd trip to vegas, that's just criminal.

I am not saying things like that don't happen. I am countering any accusations that such things are widespread, common or accepted.I have pointed to three actual incidents where racial epithets were used in hazing so I am not at all misrepresenting what is going on. Those were real incidents, they happened.
You don't have the first clue what you are talking about. I'd gladly wager that not only are you a civilian, but you haven't had an ounce of instruction regarding military training, techniques, etc.When you enable a environment where it's acceptable to mistreat and harrass others, these soft parameters such as no racial epithets are not enforceable at all.
Only one thing can save it.........
