Disagree.

Sadly, hazing doesn't only weed out deadwoods, it also weeds out potentially good officers who aren't stupid enough to go through it. What is left are officers who might be physically capable, but who are mentally and morally incapable.

There are a multitude of other ways to instill discipline and hazing isn't one of them. Hazing only fosters sadistic mentality where the only consolation of those who went through it is to be able to get a chance to do it when they ascend in class and have lowerclassmen.

I disagree...

Look around you. Even western countries, does not sanctio this kind of method of training. There are a lot of ways to weed out the unwanted officers. But not hazing, even our great General Douglas McArthur was a victim of hazing. By the time he became West Point Supt. He made sure to abolish hazing! :crawling: Peace!

Those who engage in hazing have their own insecurities. As they saw it in a movie, the bullied became a war hero. Forrest Gump.

Go to Blood Sport in Hongkong and join the tournament if you want to hurt somebody and attempt to prove something to others and yourselves. Three months in the PMA were all I can bear. Half of the upperclassmen where all ganging up on me because of my hard-to-correct stooping posture. They even had my thighs scraped by ordering me to slide in an acacia tree and threw me in the pool early morning. Everybody is forgiven. See all of you in the trenches! :armyLol:
"Provocation is a valid defense against homicide"- Canadian Law on MSantor who 'cough, cough..', passes by my company room with a cup of coffee, waits for me in the bus shelter together with his friends and provoke me, and has been stalking me in forums like army.ca, navy.ca, timawa.net, militaryforums.com... He indeed is 'SEEKING DEATH' - Holy Bible.

one more thing, most bully upperclassmen were found out to be insecure in their sexuality, medyo confused yung iba thats why they resorted to extreme beating and cruel punishments to prove their masculinity, day

case in point, a certain Army colonel who was known to be a real badass during his cadet days is a closet bading, another humored bakla and cruel ayer is now Marine captain

can you guess who they are miss maldita?

sa NCR sya naka assign ngayon ang colonel

i am not an advocate of hazing nor maltreatment - (also, they are not the same)

a cadet will not be hazed if he can cope up to the level of expectation of his upperclassmen. the senior class cadets have undergone thru the same transformation (civ to mil life) and knows it can be done.

the seniorclass cadets have the duty to transform the plebe into a cadet, he has to try everything to teach this person on the matters /manners/way of life of a cadet which is very much different from a civilian life. each move has its reasons.

if the seniorclass cadet have exhausted all his means to teach the person and still the person refuses to learn , "mato" in cadets lingo / OR is a very slow learner , then he has no choice but to put pressure on the plebe in order for him to absorb the information or knowledge being taught to him.

this is when , sometimes, the pressure turns to hazing, when the senior loses control of himself and inflicts bodily harm to the "mato" plebe. this is then not acceptable . A cadet found guilty of hazing is discharged from the academy, no ifs nor buts.

maltreatment is a totally different subject

I agree on that guys, they are bullies who just wanted to cover-up their personal insecurities.
