High school kids today aren’t playing sports, aren’t exercising, and the watered-down education system has them at all-time highs for stupidity. I’ve got friends who coach high school sports and they say that if you yell at these kids at all today, they just up and quit the team. Saw the Tim Kennedy podcast a couple weeks back, but in case anyone missed it...

I would wager the average high school graduate is smarter by every measure than at any time in the past.

Yes every kid is fat and we won’t have a military in 20 years.

It's ok, we'll have murder bots for the military in next few years. Then in another 25 more they'll become sentient and kill us all.

It doesnt take physical fitness to fly a drone up the arse of a camel.

I didn't read your post, but I watched part of the JRE when he was on and that guy is a douchebag and a fricking idiot.

They know a little bit about a lot more things thanks to the internet.

But they are worse at critical thinking, reading comprehension, math, and science.

He works directly with recruiters. My recruiter friends echo the same sentiment. I’m fairly certain that someone who is involved with the process on a daily basis would know what they’re talking about.

My kids’ 7th grade football program was fricking brutal. First day was in their face screaming and bear crawls til you puke type of shite.

.......Texas football is the exception.

Has more access to information? Sure. Smarter? Not so much.

Yelling isn't an effect form of motivation for people who can think.

I really hope my kids experience this one day. We ran pukes in middle school basketball. Coach put garbage cans at all 4 corners of the court. We ran in circles for god knows how long.

THEN when we were tired as shite, each player shot free throws while the team stood on the baseline. Suicides for each miss and move on to next player if they make it. We had some BAD players on the bench in middle school that would miss like 20 times. Half of us were puking.

Can they even do that anymore?
