If they were so worried about the massive attrition rate, why not schedule the exercise where they get bear sprayed until almost the end of the course.  Looked like they lost a bunch of people over that.

As we watched we suspected there would be lots of attrition due to the training tactics and environment. It was all wrong for that culture, and ultimately one of the recruits clued the trainers in. With a smarter, more supportive training environment, they would have had more graduates.
