French Soldier Shoots His Buddy, Fails Confidence Drill
Published 1 years ago
A whole lot of stupid is captured on video as a pair of French special forces operators conduct a "confidence drill" which requires a participant to be down range as the shooter fires rounds within inches of his body... or in this case: into his body.
These types of drill are dumb. The risks outweigh any training value that can be achieved. This unit's combat readiness has just plummeted as they now have one man sidelined for an avoidable injury and are only left with one idiot that can't even shoot straight. Seriously, this type of "training" is on the same level as fire-hoop jumping and brick-breaking karate chop demonstrations.
