I consider football to be the main substitute during our current peaceful era for old-fashioned, bloody warfare. Men still get to strategize, commnicate in code, attack, defend, and bond with their brothers-in-arms while playing football, but fortunately, they don’t have to risk death on a daily basis. Football is good for the soul and a much, much safer subsitute for warfare. Even these players whose lives are cut short by suicide or brain injury led a much sweeter life than your average WWII soldier.
I agree with you. I wonder if you know that the average Combat Infantryman in Vietnam during a one year tour spent more time in actual combat then their WWII heroes did during the entire war?
However, I admire anyone who ever served this nation during any war. Make no mistake as the Army has already set two different physical standards. Obama has dumped Lesbians and Fags on this nations military. I wonder how Brucie is accepted at the officer’s wives club?
