Uhm, why? Fighting in the military is a sure way to get your behind thrown in jail, and that's not a place I'd like to be.
During my year up there I only heard of one fight, involving some drunken royal marines who were visiting for the NATO-excercise(will Philipvs rant on me for "hating on the brits" now?). Only a complete idiot would ever fight in the army.
Still maintain that crying on the pitch should warrant a 3 match ban

after training, eating in the mess, two men left, but there was only one fried chicken:
A : hey! that's my chicken!
B :NO! that's mine!
A : hope you still remember today's training well...
B : what?
A : (punch at the stomach of B) never put your guard down!
B : (sweep kick at A)
...
... (several exchange of hits)
...
Instructor: Ok, ok, both of you! do 1000 push ups each!
well, only push ups are administered as punishments for fighting here, dunno the Norway laws are so harsh

I do generally agree people should only pick on people their own size. But even weak males and females are different scenarios, its not all physical, males are more mentally predisposed to fighting/defending themselves.
The biological and social aspects probably complement each other, rather than only one being relevant, IMO.
At the end of the day politics is just trash compared to the Gospel.

Im with Strike and Rory on this one. There is nothing glorious about violence.

And the avarage male just happens to be stronger. Repulsion against hitting women is repulsion against treating them like something you are allowed to abuse instead of treating them like an equal. I'd say women are superior really, fine with being their slave really they are much smarter, frees the mind for more important things such as bashing skulls.
@K, what's wrong with, it's much more weak to avoid it's simplicity. When you comfort a friend he knows enough when you squeeze his shoulder, you understand, that's enough. Same with busting his nose when he pisses you of. Advanced communication made simple, or should we go in therapy instead

I don't understand why physical violence is seen as so bad anyway.
If you think about it, if we see violence or harm against a person as being either physical or mental, then surely mental harm is more direct. Physical pain is only bad because it translated into mental anguish.
For example, my Gran, being a bit old fashioned, used to hit me with a strap or a spoon at times, but I always found that less bad than having a telling off that lasts half and hour, or having a football or whatever taken off me.

Never set out to disagree, we were saying the same thing in different words, that was my point.
Eh because that would be child abuse. Why pick an extreme example? I could do the same for mental abuse.
My point is why is physically harming someone seen as worse than inflicting suffering/punishment in non-phsyical ways?

"The English are a strange people....They came here in the morning, looked at the wall, walked over it, killed the garrison and returned to breakfast. What can withstand them?"
Well that's just wrong. Violence IS glory. Ever hear any tales of glorious manners and etiquette? We may be dealing with a translation issue here but words like glory, valor, and honor incorporate violence into their code. The difference is in how it's used.
Relating back to Islam: Violence is, inherent in the system; however, the system matters less than the people in it as proven in this incident.

Im talking about the real thing not about any stories. But it could be that in my language the word has different meaning then in yours.
Be it may that people love to hear stories about how a gentleman defended vigorously a helpless maiden in stress, from bunch of thugs. Or a soldier made a glorious final stand sacrificing himself and saving his whole platoon in the process. For some reason you hardly hear tales about when the gentleman got himself killed in a similar situation or soldier calling for her mother before drowning on his own blood filling his lungs. while dragging his legless torso in panic, just to get away from a battle.

I've met the "hero" who tried to stand up to a mugger and got stabbed as I assisted in repairing his intestines.
I treated the "hero" who tried to placate two having an argument and required stitches when a mate of theirs smacked him round the head with a piece of wood.
Those glorifying heroic events were often never anywhere near them. It's often been said that the victors never have glorious victories as they are the ones who have had a good look at the battlefield afterwards.

Yes.Sisu is bit hard concept to translate. I guess it is some odd mixture of being stubborn against odds and not minding any kind of set backs, still retaining your integrity, while the result could still be a failure. Hard thing to translate.
I agree completely.
