Taking a beating from an Army Ranger or SEAL is a life lesson. Every man needs to be challenged in a way that forces him to confront all of his flaws and improve on them. If you can’t do that, then you need to have your fricking man card revoked and be forced to mark “female” on every future job application that you fill out.
No, just no.
I joined the Air Force only because they had cool airplanes I wanted to fly. The indoctrination/military training and fake yelling is barely a footnote on my career. I only did it because it was a requirement to do what I wanted to do in the military.
All that said, the rise of these civilian SOF training programs is weird. Just get into Jiu Jitsu if you want to better yourself.

From 1941 to about 1975, if you were a young man and didn't have a physical or mental disability, you were going to get acquainted with the military in some form or another, whether you wanted to or not.
We've since had a couple of generations where most people don't have military experience and don't know anyone else who does. Some of them are fascinated by it want to pretend they're part of it without making any of the sacrifices. They get to do the fun stuff without doing any of the hard stuff. And this IS the fun stuff, at least when you look back on it after it's over. The hard stuff is when you're lonely, bored, scared, have relationship problems, have money problems, see your civilian friends moving on with their lives and know you have several more years of it.
