Is stress the reason for trainee failures? I don't think so. How we view things is what raises or lowers stress levels. A weak willed and weak minded individual is a weak ass and does not belong in the military.
If a trainee can not handle the stress of basic training and weapons qualification how is he or she going to handle a firefight, getting ambushed, or seeing friends die? If the wheat can no longer be separated from the chaff in basic, where is the point at which it should be done?
