This isn't the frickin' Army. This is the Marines. They are supposed to be the best of the best. How is it that despite the increase in fitness and nutritional knowledge, the physical requirements for the American military have actually decreased in the last several decades?
If you think you're making it out the other end doing the bare minimum then I would invite anyone to try. Plus as someone said earlier, this is the bare minimums for basic and to be a basically qualified Marine. Not Delta, not MARSOC, not BUDS but a basic training.

Can we look at the numbers? Of the men who really sacrificed and went to military institutions. Versus the grunts that had no place to go. They end up cops or grunts. I don't ball wash local cops any more than some kid that had no option but to join. Get real about this. If you signed up? Deal with it. No draft. You thought it was an easy way to pay for college? Deal with it.
