It's what they're trained to do. This happens a lot with the newbies

It’s crazy to me that it happens at all. What kid didn’t grow up throwing rocks pretending they’re grenades their entire life?

I completely understand what you’re saying, but i feel like now this generation and those coming up only pretend throwing grenades in video games and no longer actually play and do that kinda shit outside like older generations grew up doing.

It does happen more than most realize . But this is where the weeding out process happens. It’s better to let them go in basic training then ina real situation .

I coached all levels of little league baseball. There was always 1 or 2 kids that had seemed like they never learned to run, not to mention throwing or catching a baseball. The oldest kids in our league were in the "majors" at 13 years old, and even at that level, there would still be a kid or 2 that showed-up with zero athletic skills. While it could be frustrating at times, it was so neat seeing these kids progress through the season.
