In Ukraine every man over 40 years old received a training on basic infantry tactics and using assault rifle AK-74 and hand grenade RGD-5 during high school years.
- throw0101a 5y agoPresumably people in the US National Guard are also trained: > Guard soldier killed in tragic accidental shooting by roommate, fellow Guardsman * https://www.armytimes.com/news/your-army/2022/02/02/guard-soldier-killed-in-tragic-accidental-shooting-by-roommate-fellow-guardsman/ https://www.armytimes.com/news/your-army/2022/02/02/guard-so... The use of the word "accident" in the above story is also not accurate IMHO, for the same reason why "car accident" isn't: > The two groups behind the recent campaign — Transportation Alternatives and Families for Safe Streets — argue that the term "accident" makes it seem like crashes are inevitable, rather than preventable. In a subtle way, it normalizes the crash and discourages us from looking more deeply into their causes — whether alcohol, reckless driving, or bad street design. * https://www.vox.com/2015/7/20/8995151/crash-not-accident https://www.vox.com/2015/7/20/8995151/crash-not-accident Certainly the training they got during service is good, but the GP's point about not much training being needed isn't as simple as he makes it out IMHO.
