Training is more than a PT test. More men failed out of my Arabic class then men. I qualified with my rifle with more hits than a lot of men. I can apply a tournaquet, do CPR, and put on a gas mask.

Physical strength is not a major factor in winning a war. However, mental strength is, and with the right in charge, we're getting screwed.<br><br>Five miles is five miles.Daedalushttp://www.blogger.com/profile/07291479913130967235noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3857295146936801558.post-32124925389354666602005-05-19T15:30:00.000-04:002005-05-19T15:30:00.000-04:00DeLay was cleared on ONE of his MANY accounts.DeLay was cleared on ONE of his MANY accounts.Daedalushttp://www.blogger.com/profile/07291479913130967235noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3857295146936801558.post-75421426905913048572005-05-19T15:28:00.000-04:002005-05-19T15:28:00.000-04:00today's gop is the party of NIXON, not Lincoln...today's gop is the party of NIXON, not Lincoln.
