Some recruits fall out even before getting to boot camp. They DEP in and get scared and don't end up going. My platoon graduated with about Half of what we started with.
Most are either medical drops or washouts. Medical drops are recruits hurt and need treatment, and get droped back in training to another company. There are also alot of wash outs who should have never been there in the first place.
I cant really gove you an answer,but what I can give you is a way to a solution, that is you have to find the anglde that you relate to or peaks your interest. A good paper is one that people get drawn into because it reaches them ln some way.As for me WW11 to me, I think of the holocaust and the effect it had on the survivors, their families and those who stood by and did nothing until it was too late.
