Listen I’m not defending the army but I’d be willing to bet 5$ that more soldiers are victims of any of the heat related illnesses (trying to sound smart here hehe, like heat exhaustion or shock or whatever) then they are of water intoxication.
Also we did the same thing when I was at basic in south Carolina. Except we didn’t have to drink the whole canteen. Just take a couple of sips, but we did it frequently.
That’s exactly what’s wrong with these army drill sergeants. They see the trainees under their care as statistics. It’s a one size fits all approach, and they’re so married to treating people like machines that they can’t open their eyes and see when they’re literally poisoning someone half to death. It’s inhuman.
For fellow citizens of the civilised world: a quart is basically a liter, and a pint is half that.
Anyway, jeepers creepers. They literally poisoned their own guy so bad he was hospitalised. The US army is evil.
The army takes hydration VERY seriously.
Maybe they should have taken it seriously enough to recognise too much of it
