That's really too bad Brother Dale. I suppose being shorthanded makes you do things you normally would not do, like overlooking his medical condition.

A terrible and probably preventable loss.
I'm just curious and I'm not blaming the student. Did he seek medical attention and they blew him off? Or did they just not make the checks and see it?

I'm trying to find the interview of a former SEAL that claimed that over the last 20 years there has been "mission creep" where Instructors were continually making the course more difficult. He said it resulted in them taking shortcuts, enforced lack of sleep on candidates where they averaged about 2 hours, physical beat downs, and apparently lack of medical oversight.
There is a line were tough training becomes torture and I think they passed it. I don't think that an Army Special Forces Selection course would have left this candidate in their course and would have medically dropped him.
Dead Soldiers and Sailors don't win wars.

CPT Lawrence Cable I'm in total agreement regarding training and the fine line between that and torture.
I'm just genuinely saddened this continues to happen.
