You can't kill an enemy with kindness and combat is a hostile work environment. On PC, exactly when did we stop training the way we fight?

MSG John Hill War is hell. The only way to fight a war is to go all out and win. Our training can never fully prepare us for the realities of war, but it must come as close as possible. We should not engage in war unless our goal is total victory.

With all the mandatory PC sensitivity training who has time to train to fight?

PC = Outcome Based Training... Are we really getting softer or just better?

Did the Army stop training the way they will fight? What is done differently? Are there no more ranges, or field training? I've been out a long time. But from what I've seen about all the mock villages and cities and realistic training environments, and predeployment training, it looks like training is closer to warfighting than 20 years ago.

Some would argue that we actually train the way we fight because we changed the way we fight.
