Thats not how you make an army ready to fight, that's a recipe for disaster.

Holy ****, the world is changing!
Other than my pointless trolling I agree with August on this matter. I served in the Estonian Defense Forces as a recon infantryman with the old training regiment whick is part of the reason I somewhat ruined my left knee, right now they are revamping things here as well along the same lines. In combat, the fact that I can run for 20 miles, then do 100 pushups and stitups does not really mater, there simply are better ways to build up your body and mind to meet the requirements of combat.
