Can we train our troops better and actually eliminate the bad apples?

I think that with the wars that we transition out of (except for Afghanistan) I noticed a lot of people just doing lackadaisical training or people just sitting around doing check the block training. This is both for the active duty and reserves.
I wanted to see more MOS specific training but most of the time too many people are off doing their own thing or it seemed some random detail would take most of the soldiers who needed training away.

It will pass in time. A lot of soldiers and NCOs don't really know of a peace time Army. I speck to others and tell them how the Army was before war. I came in 2000. The military as a whole has changed. Units have always been training for a deployment. Now we are going back to a large scale war fight in the way we train. We are getting away from primarily focusing on an urban fight. So many are going to be our of their confront zone. It in time it will correct itself. I just think it is a factor we have to deal with as the wars are nearly at an end.

First a spark, then a fire. Line leaders need to be the spark. Recent combat vets should have priority selection to become instructors--they have credibility and can relate why we need to know something that can save our lives, save our buddies, save our unit and perhaps not only the host nation, but our own
