NPOV dispute: "brainwash process"
The following whole paragraph should be changed to an NPOV:
- The process has been described as a form of brainwashing in which inductees are encouraged to submerge their individuality partially in favour of their unit. To that end, standard uniforms are issued and the troops are shaved and grooved upon arrival in order to have their appearance be as uniform as possible. In addition, the trainees are instructed to move and respond in unison to encourage a group mentality. At the same time, the trainees are subjected to numerous physical activity trials to both to familarize the trainees in the demands of combat and to weed out the less able and/or willing trainees, which not only strengthens the unit's overall physical ability, but also builds morale for the remaining troops who are able to meet the physical demands and continue.
Sounds like a BCT dropout! I'm pretty sure that there are a lot of websites that describe what BCT is from an NPOV. I'm just not interested in editing this article.

Remember that the article must be from an NPOV, there is no need to allude the 'greatness' of the Army or the 'gratness' of the Army values.
