Mock Training

Ohio State University's ROTC cadets have ended the decades-long practice of combat training with mock rifles on the main campus because of public edginess in the wake of the Virginia Tech shootings, officials said.
And just to even things out, the enemies these young people will likely face have agreed to cease practicing with mock IEDs. The blue plastic mock suicide vests were scaring all the young jihadists at the training camps anyway.

All this and appeasing the environmentalcases, too.

Good grief. Talk about mockery.

It's just plain nuts. Why don't we just cut to the chase and require troops to wear straightjackets?

Fat White Man has more.

Why weren't the mentally ill taken in for evaluation? This is just nuts.

"It looks like the real deal" So what?

I suppose those same mental defectives have no problem with "patrol" rifles that are the real deal?

When do we recognize the insane for what they are and either ignore them or institutionalize them?
