My experience with whales in the Army - Relating to u/WhiskeyAlpha8600 master race of shitlords I had a long post but I am forgoing that for this. I used to be a stellar Infantry/Mortar man and most of it was merely because I was fit, especially after South Korea (mountain running)! I got to a point where I was leading the C[rappy] group runners in my platoon. They never liked me leading because I openly voiced my disagreement with fatties in my squad - I am not risking my life to carry/save some overweight gluttonous retard. So I would lead their runs, and be yelling at them to pick up the pace chunky trunks/fatty.  Nothing to nice because I didn't have to care!  Just straight forward.   I noticed they picked up on my running routes, which were shortened to their abilities, and when we would be getting ready to turn around.  Had to fix that,  I would watch their face of hope wash away as our short PT session of 2 mile minimum turned into a whole lot longer.  Alot dropped out and I left them in the middle of nothing.  Not my problem, but I did get caught by an officer for yelling at them, whatever fucker I'm infantry they need this.... Other times they would piss me off by having lazy desk jockeys pass us... so I would pull them off into the grass.  Have some words - "You don't wanna run?"  "Your legs hurt?"  "Cause you smoke?"  blah blah just do push ups.  Up-Downs, Go! I just punished them.  It was fun.  They tried to get sympathy, I would retort with, shut the fuck up, you are infantry and this is bullshit if I have to try to carry your ass, plus battle rattle.... Fuck that.  After a bit, they realized I was kind of just torturing them and not really 'training' them and moved me back to lead the fast runners. Too bad now my back is fucked, but at least I am not fat!
