One of the reasons our forces are some of the best in the world is that their training is so tough. These guys could well be sent to places like Iraq in the middle of scorching heat, having to carry weapons, kit, wounded colleagues etc. They need to be tough to do that and some will get hurt or worse in the process. It was ever thus in the forces. If it turns out that the training wasn't executed properly for some reason that's a different matter but the question asked was 'is the training too tough?'.

Fair enough. In this case something seems, at first impressions, to have gone drastically wrong. One person dying is a tragic accident, two people suggests it was too hard in this case. After all most of the time people do not die, it's very rare, so to have two at once should raise concerns.
