Ya know-I don't even recall seeing peanuts on any flight recently. P says Southwest has 'em and that's it. 

Here you are, whining about something that has zero impact to you-you don't get to eat something they don't serve in a place you don't often go. Build a bridge and get over it. Pussification? This thread.

Where are our future Soldiers going to come from ?

If all the boys are growing up " softies ? "

As a Soldier, and a leader of Soldiers, I think this on a daily basis. "A guy I know" has a Soldier who came to us with a very high score on his intelligence exam he took when he came in. He was hospitalized recently for stomach pain caused by taking 30 Motrin tablets in one day for his back pain. He saw nothing wrong with this. Never mind the fact that he more than doubled the recommended dosage for a period of 24 hours. He went in yesterday morning, and gets out tonight.

In our line of work, back pain pretty much goes with the territory. You carry heavy gear for extended periods of time while walking or riding on the vehicles. We stay out in high heat with loads up to 80 pounds. (not counting rucksacks).

When I was at my last duty assignment, A Soldier came to us from training, excited to go to war. It turns out that he was clinically depressed and only joined so that he would die in battle. He told us that he was too scared to try and kill himself, so he was going to die in battle. He was given extensive psychological treatment, and then processed out of the military.

The military has had night/day changes since I enlisted. I do all that I can to toughen my troops and prepare them for the trials that they will face in the theater(s) of combat.

Don't really know where I was going with all of this except that we are getting "softer" individuals enlisting these days. However, where I am, they either adapt and man up, or get kicked the make the beast with two backs out. And that's the bottom line, 'cause Stone Cold said so.




And they can pry my can of peanuts from my cold, dead hands!

Hmmm, brings to mind Chinese drywall...

As a (severly) lactose-intolerant American...I'm not a hater towards cheese & milk.  Hell, if you can enjoy it and want to...  Go for it!

As for the peanuts, I can see the point to it but hey...I can also see the allergic person making her/his own accommodations.

Next they will ban your corn flakes that someone apparently pissed in.  I also noticed that you posted in this thread more than me and I started it.

and, anyone who has had a dose of EPI is in no state to fly a plane...
just sayin..

I'm pretty sure that anyone with a known anaphylactic inhalation allergy to a common food is not going to pass the flight physical for a commercial license.
