“I’m not ashamed to tell you I can’t do a pull-up yet, but I’m working on it!” the 48-year-old Reynolds said with a laugh.”

Gen. Reynolds, with all due respect (and that ain’t much) this graduate of Parris Island, Vietnam, former Corporal, former mustanger Captain just went to the pullup bar and managed a pull-up.

I’m 60 lbs overweight, over 65 years old and 100% service-connected disabled.

Does that say anything about YOUR fitness to lead troops in combat?

When I was 48 I was at PI for a family get together (I was there in the 60s as a dependent - my father’s last duty station).

I went to the top of the rope on the obstacle course with NO feet. And I sure as heck wasn’t fit for combat.
