Re: ? Образовательный...

Информация и в верхнем собщении и здесь с англ Вики


1.The United States Army's Officer Candidate School (OCS), located at Fort Benning, Georgia, provides training to become a commissioned officer in the U.S. Army. Officer candidates are drawn from enlisted members (up to Master Sergeant), Warrant Officers, inter-service transfers[1], or civilian college graduates who enlist for guaranteed attendance at OCS after they complete Basic Combat Training (BCT).

Если я правильно перевел "up to Master Sergeant" , это не ниже чем мастер сержант.
Т.е. Колли не подходит ни под один критерий - не сержант, не WO, не переводился из другого Вида ВС, не ВЫПУСКНИК колледжа.

2. On August 4, 1953, the Department of the Army reduced OCS from eight to three programs: Infantry, Artillery, and Engineer, finally closing Engineer OCS in July 1954,[14] leaving only the Infantry and Field Artillery schools open. With the onset of the Vietnam War, however, the OCS program was again expanded with officer candidates undergoing a grueling 23 week program of instruction with an extremely high attrition rate which was designed to prepare young officers to be platoon leaders in a demanding Vietnam jungle environment. In September 1965, Engineer OCS reopened at Fort Belvoir, Virginia, and before closing for good in 1971, over 10,000 Engineer Officers had been commissioned.

2. С началом войны во вьетнаме курс подготовки составил 23 недели


Т.е. у амеров началась жопа с кадрами и они стали "гнать" через эти курсы недоучек и учить их вместо 23 недель 16 недель.

Резултат видимо отсюда такой:

Many men in his platoon told army investigators that Calley lacked common sense and could not even read a map or compass properly.

Не мог читать карту и пользоваться компасом.

Хотя надо признать что в случае с Колли это мог быть и поклёп...
