Amen.
I retired from the military in 2009 and let my physical fitness slip.
This June, I got into an unavoidable physical brawl with a 23 year old "kid".
I quickly realized that my only recourse was to go hard and finish it very quickly. I put him down and he was literally swallowing his own teeth in 45 seconds.
If it had gone on much longer, I would have be tired out and beaten...maybe to death.
Went back to the gym that week.
Scouts Out! Cavalry Ho! God Bless Texas!
