Do soldiers fall in love while in war zones?

"Have you ever seen someone cry at the U.S. Army basic training?"

The video opens strong with the cold human truth: oh yes — everyone cries at the U.S. Army basic training (phrasing kept intact here because it's hilarious; can we make adding 'the' to basic training a universal thing?).

Next up:

"Why are the U.S. Navy's and the U.S. Army's special forces considered elite even though their training period before joining is only a few months long compared to civilian skills like guitar that take years to learn?"

Schappert ain't got time for that.

Dear twenty-something rich kid sitting in your mom's basement playing 'Wonderwall' again on your six-string: we don't know how to convey to you that pushing yourself beyond your physical limitations consistently for months on end while sleep deprived in order to learn tactics and skills that will keep you and your friends alive in the face of lethal force is harder than finally nailing your first F chord on the guitar. But please trust us: it is.

"Could a Green Beret break out of a supermax prison?"

Lucky for us, we had not one but two Green Berets on hand to answer this question.

"Why don't we make our soldiers look scary or creepy? Wouldn't that be good psychological warfare?"

Trust me. Our soldiers are creepy. Just look through the We Are The Mighty comments sometime.
