......the Billy Jack character would probably not get through the rigorous psychological evaluations required of Special Forces trainees. He has serious anger issues; and, I'd like to see him tell an Army Psychiatrist that sometimes.........he..........just...........goes..........BERSERK!!!

Maybe the Marine Corps..............

just kidding. (About the Marines, that is) lol.

But...Doing ruck marches barefoot through SFAS is a good way to get selected for Q-course.

He does, yes when he sees people treating people like crap for no reason.

And how does anyone find humor in making fun of Native Americans when 70% of American people are part Native American themselves?!

Thank you for your service to our country. When did you serve? I would contend that you are correct for TODAY'S special forces undergoing rigorous psych evaluations, but in the 1960s? Not quite so sure...............

If you have information to show otherwise, please do so as I'm always interested in learning new things, especially about the military, a subject near and dear to my heart.

Merry Christmas to you!
