“Being a pencil necked dork who can run 400m means nothing if you are so pathetic that you cannot lift an ammo can! (never mind run with it) I trained martial arts with people from the US, Western Europe, and Central Europe, and I can tell you there is a big difference. The highest level of fighting fitness I saw was in Central Europe, then in the US, and the Western Europeans were pathetic.”

Hum… What’s your time running 15 km with back pack at 30 kg and weapon? Mine was 1h34mm, and I was average plus.
Did you ever lift an ammo can, and which one? A 20 mm canon ammunition is not the same than a 17.5 or 7.62…

Then I wanted to see you in a real training, when you sleep 4 hours in 3 days, crawling in icy mud, etc…
I saw many martial Art “experts” collapsing and crying for mummy because “muscles don’t float” (The Guardian, with Costner) and lack of Stamina.

Good rant, carry on…
