I like the way you put it (too scary if otherwise)

I have personally seen them in action too many times. The good ones are good but few, the bad ones are there, many,

and the farkup ones are well...to saturation point. Rank and position looks good on the resume only.

I have a Full LTA under me. Decision I make, he follow orders. A very hardworking guy.

The news:

You got good one

The bad news:

The rest hopeless

Over the years, some ex-colleagues used to ask if I was an Officer during NS. They all shook their heads when I told them Private only. Used to repair vehicles damaged by officers due to negligence/incompetency. Example: hexagon nuts became rounded by them...

Can share if you are aware the SAF still used 4 soldiers to carry one casualty on stretcher as standard protocol in the field like shown on some videos? I am wondering if two men among a section wounded, the whole section dedicated to ferry casualties = total infantry defence breached? This is no laughing matter. I believe some better means to ferry the casualties with lesser men would be more appropriate.

Many/most of us not so well built like the other war-trained armies. Can the equipments consumed the performance of the soldiers? Example: told that after a route march one slim nephew of mine totally in exhausted and fatigue from neck to ankles. I like to believe he can still shoot with rifle in that state at the right target (not shoot his colleagues instead).

In war all sorts of conditions will prevail. Lack of sleep, being the main one, that will be first to happen, fatigue etc.

4 men to stretcher I donno. I'm like you, private only. Everyday collect arms and oil rifles.

I heard my nephew's exhaustion and fatigue like fainted type sleep

If your nephew can say to that level, I'd say it will be chicken feet to you then, as nothing can be compared to what the older generation of soldiers went thru.

He only 3/4 my weight, so the full pack route march for infrantry almost made him faint.
