The thing I find interesting is the re-learning of lessons. One of the advantages I see to having a program, really not critical which program, like MCMAP or this, is it instills a different mindset. A mechanism for increased aggression and confidence. Improvement of body mechanics, etc.

There are kids today that have never had a fist fight and aren't used to contact.

Soldiers can be taught in a very short time if the training is done correctly. You can use the same technique over and over because you won't face the same opponent again. If I was King, I would take Kill or Get Kilt or Get Tough! and use it as a POI. Teach chin jab and axe hand and move out.

I think these programs make for better warriors. It wouldn't surprise me at all if it helps their shooting as well.
