But at the same time they're signing up to go to war, if you can't handle getting shot at you should go find a safer occupation[/QUOTE]
Yeah but you go through this training knowing that they aren't trying to shoot you directly. Kind of redundant

There's still a tremendous amount of nerve involved knowing live bullets are passing a few feet from you.
It's the closest you'll get until you're actually fired at by a real person.

This isn't even simulation, this is the best way to give an example of what it feels like to be fired at. Only difference would be that the guys in the field would shoot back and a million times faster.
