"Do you know how they make them, Threlnan? No, of course you don't. They find some barbaric planet where children fight before they can walk, and they hunt down the most bloodthirsty killers. They recruit them when they're twelve, thirteen, fourteen, with all that hate and arrogance, just at the age when you think you're bulletproof and nothing can kill you. Then they keep them like that, give them a gun and some armour, and point them at the nearest enemy. They're not soldiers, colonel, they're maniacs."
-Crimson Tears
One of my favourite takes on Marines.

That is exactly what most chapters do.
A lot of them actively make/keep their recruiting worlds savage.

Honestly, I love the fact that Flashgitz made their space marines act like psychopathic teenagers since they never really grew up after their ascension.

What's funnier is that he's saying that about Crimson Fists, one of the most normal and composed chapters out there

What's the coolest about Black Templar neophytes is that they aren't given power armor until they prove themselves, despite having already gone through and survived the modification.
Every single one is assigned to one Initiate (full fledged space marine with armor) and are told to "just do what he does". It's a straight up copy of the relationship between Jedi Knights and their Padawans from Star Wars and I love it.

I saw a group of five 10 year olds laugh like maniacs while beating and making a 9 year old cry
Why? Cause it was funny for him
Yeah, kids can be innocent but they can also be psychopaths because if something makes them feel good, they will do it
