Why Some Soldiers Use Bathrooms to Escape Orders #usa #history #military

Education

Military field training is so physically and mentally brutal that soldiers are routinely kept awake for 48 hours straight. At that level of exhaustion, comfort becomes irrelevant. Dignity becomes irrelevant. Sleep is the only thing that matters. So when this soldier disappeared for a few minutes, his friend went looking — and found him fast asleep, sitting upright on a toilet seat. In military slang, this is called Skating. When a soldier needs to escape work, avoid orders, or simply steal a few minutes of peace, he uses the bathroom as his excuse.

You torture them during training so if they get caught by the enemy, their torture would feel like a spa treatment

Reminder: this isn't training. This is meant to break you.
