LTC Eugene Chu I see some Trumpublicans have some chickenshit replies.
..."As recently as early 2020, Bigelman said nearly 60,000 soldiers, or the equivalent of 13 brigade combat teams, were non-deployable due to one or more deficiencies, many of them physical injuries.
Knocking out pushups, sit-ups and a 2-mile run was not preparing soldiers for anything other than their annual PT test. And it wasn’t preventing injuries.
Injuries result from more than a substandard PT program — poor nutrition, bad warmup or cooldown, bad form, inadequate sleep and focus all contribute.
Bigelman said even minor improvements can produce substantial results."...

And don't forget that important military time is spent at West Point teaching critical race Theory or they have to discuss how whiteness influenced their behavior.
Notice how they have to change the tuck event so you wouldn't have General's, Brigade commanders and Battalion commanders not be able to assume command so now they have the plank as the alternative.
Physical fitness is a great thing but it's sad when you have critical race Theory being taught in the services and at contradicts equal Comfort opportunity because it emphasizes prejudice.
