I never said military people don't bitch.

I agree that children shouldn't be coddled. I don't think that evidence of the occasional isolated incident that may or may not actually have coddling effect on the children involved amounts to evidence of large scale coddling. I bet that for every instance of "coddling" there is at least one instance of some kid getting the crap kicked out of him/her.
Perhaps all you parents out there who fear the pussification of america could do all your countrymen a favor and beat the hell out of your child. Depussify him/her. If everyone does their part, we'll have nothing to fear.

I am not around kids a lot nor do I care to be, because I don't particularly like kids, so I'm not qualified to say whether they are being pussified or not. I was merely attempting to clarify what was being said.
I do however find it extremely annoying and stupid when people think that red ink should be banned from school papers because it lowers a kid's self esteem. In all the time that I have been in school, I have never known anyone who's self esteem was lowered because they did shitty on a paper and the teacher wrote in red.
