HAHA, I'm sorry, but that is rather funny...

It is NOT funny however that he is so obviously terrified of it, even within a safe and managed environment...
 
So is this some sort of German reality show?

Sad, really sad that anyone would be that afraid of an inanimate object.
 
The only reality here is that they really need to hire better actors for that show.

That's pretty funny and sad. I wonder how you end up being that scared of a firearm.


Eurotrash.
I don't think that kind of commentary is necessary.
 
What is your point?

People are not above training or conditioning.

Unless this kid is absolutely crazy he can be taught to be a soldier, if that is, he wants to be one.

If not why is he there? He is a trainee isn't he? He did enlist didn't he? Even if not he is there and must rise to the challenge.

The military can take this guy and make him a non-combat trooper. He can become a mechanic, or a clerk; there are lots of jobs in the military that this kid can be trained to do.

If this kid was my soldier I could train him to even enjoy shooting. I'd just have him do lots and lots of shooting. He has some kind of pre-conceived fear or phobia of shooting that is irrational. Rationality can over come irrationality with training and conditioning. People are in control of their lives and to a great degree of their emotions.

You would be surprised what a man can be trained to do. You must understand that sane people can be taught to overcome phobias. If, for example; you are afraid of heights, then climb a tall ladder daily for a month. Force yourself to do it. Eventually you will overcome or reduce your fear of heights.

I used to be afraid of spiders until I adopted a large garden spider in my back yard. I fed him daily. I found a bug and tossed it in his web (was probably a she). I forced myself to watch, at close range the spiker as he changed his pray, bit it, and wrapped it up and eventually sucked it dry. I am no longer afraid of spider. I rather like them now.
 
I could only watch about 30 seconds of that, because it seems like a bunch of actors playing it up for the camera.

Excuse me, BAD actors playing it up for the camera.

I would cry too if I had to fire an M16 and I was from a country that has the G3 and the G36 for standard issue rifles.

Just jokin'!
