they also thought that the need to keep the military dehumanized wasnt really answering the question.
You'll never win a debate with them because they've already go their minds made up. Calling a recruit a pussy is, in their minds, mysogynistic, and no matter how well founded your arguments to the contrary are, they won't accept them.

Examples:

"They never use those terms with female recruits"
"It still teaches the male recruits to hate women"

"Soldiers have to be trained to dehumanize the enemy or they'll be ineffective."
"That's not relevant/you shouldn't dehumanize the enemy because it's wrong to kill people."

Etc.
