Your response is fascinating. On the one hand you call the program abusive. Literally the next sentence you say that you came away from it better.
Perhaps I’m off base here, but to me these things are incompatible. No one improves from abuse.
I don’t doubt that you suffered. The following sentences confirm that, but I’m also not convinced that all suffering is created equal.
I have spent many hours enduring crippling cold, cuddling nearly naked with fellow patriots trying to stay warm and not sleeping due to the aforementioned discomfort.
There are obviously problematic pieces of your experience, but I’d love to hear further elaboration on why aspects you found helpful, what parts you found harmful and what parts were both.
