Comments by "Winston Smith" (@kryts27) on "China’s Military Combat Skills Ridiculed Worldwide: Soldiers Are Best at Folding Tofu Block Quilts" video.

  1. The folding blanket farce is a festival of stupid and idiotic purity. Worse, it's a bullying excuse of bastardry by the NCOs, who themselves are bullied by higher ranks and so on. It also encourages robotic obedience, not initiative, teamwork and planning. Physical fitness is important, but should not be the only goal. Ultimately, the blanket farce amongst others is a time-wasting exercise, where the recuit should be trained in useful martial skills such as marksmanship, tactical infantry defence and offensive tactics, battlefield infiltration, use of drones and so on. The PLA training results are poorly trained soldiers with little iniative. Initiative (while obeying orders) might mean life or death. Thinking soldiers are effective soldiers. The CCP does not encourage thinking as it might lead to a military coup.
