yea, sleep deprivation is key for submissive obedience. funny how the same method is used for torture
Love y'all, but this isn't news.
This happens literally everytime a unit goes literally anywhere.
Weekend exercise your commander put together last week? Sleep on the ground.
Month long training exercise you've been planning for a year? Sleep on the ground.
Deployment to a foreign country for nine months? You guessed it! Sleep on the ground.
- They didn't even deploy with cots? The only time I slept on the floor was when I had to keep the mobile server room secured.
  
  Or at least bedrolls?
If they wanted comfortable sleeping quarters they would have joined the Air Force /s
Looks like the third amendment might become relevant for the first time in centuries
- Watch trump pull some colonial 1700s British law into effect as an emergency for housing soldiers
