I don't approve of this thread title, I'm like a TA at best

Welp, sorry, everyone above you died of corona. As senior TA, you are now in charge of the political science department.

It's like Executive Orders but with more elbowpatches.

I think it’s a generational thing beyond the increase in demand. Every group has a pretty stellar gym built into their facilities on top of the 5-7 other gyms around post. That’s not even factoring in all the stuff online for fitness. Even the most basic routine you can find online will still get you a decent amount of muscle if you stick to it. Strong lifts is as simple as you can get, not to mention CrossFit, despite its major flaws, keeps people honest as far as doing their workout is concerned.

Look at the difference in kit a normal everyday soldier is expected to carry between the 80s and now. Seems like that could easily account for some of the difference.

Nah, this is nonsense. Other nations SF don't look like americans, and it's not due to a lack of access to gyms(!?) or carrying less gear.

American soldiers just really, really like steroids.

They also really like to ride all the way to the objective, look at that recent seal fuckup where they helidropped the team on top of an enemy bunker.

Army Gen. Mark Milley posted:

“I think Marines should get haircuts, from a personal standpoint,” Milley told reporters. “As the son of a Navy corpsman who hit the beach at Iwo Jima with the 4th Marine Division, it took extraordinary discipline to conquer that island with 7,000 Marines killed in 19 and 20 days and put a flag on Suribachi. That Marine victory was the result of incredible discipline of America’s 911 force and the expeditionary force. It may seem superficial to some, but getting a haircut is part of that discipline.”

Weird that the map doesn't have any checkins at the Deed

Sort of the same thing happening in Norwegian media at the moment. Except here it was an as of now unknown app that sold "anonymized" location data to a firm in Britain, that the Norwegian public broadcaster bought.

They then filtered out devices that had been in restricted zones, found out where they were at night, and used public records to find their identities.
