Forget about the two standards thing. Make one standard and waiver in anyone we really nead. (For example: Mathematicians who just don't cut it physically, but it doesn't matter because the closest...
Remember to notify your insurer! :D
Congratulations.

Yep, you are reading it pretty well.

For combat arms there should be one standard, but there are a great many areas where physical strenght isn't as important. What is needed though is good general fitness. An average woman in minimum...
Equal opportunity is irrelevant here. The job of the US Armed Forces is to be combat effective. All assets are to be used where, when and if practicable. If you can argue the military is not doing so...
Yes, but kipping pull up technique can be taught with relative ease. Physical strength isn't as easy. Give me 15 minutes and I'll have 50 men doing Kipping pullups. Training on properly conditioned...
Hmmm....yes and no. Yes, the Canadian Forces is fully integrated, but the debate over whether they are better of for it is still a matter of some debate. Norfolk made some very interesting and...
I never said we should have the same scores necessary for given positions. Rather, I am suggesting that there be a single scale. A 120 should be a 120 and a 295 should be a 295. There shouldn't be...
Kipping pull ups are a nice trick, but more a test of technique than physical strength.
I believe what he is saying is that there should be ONE PFT standard for combat arms. For that...

Just thought people might want to see this.

This is supported by some of the studies I have read on the issue. Another factor that is believed leads to mental issues among the homeless is a lack of human contact. This reminds of something that...
I understand that. I am simply agreeing that it is during interbellum periods that there is almost always a continuous stream of argumentation that "major state" warfare is on the decline.
I have...
Very true. This argument is specious, and even if true nieve. One should never underestimate societies ability to find new justifications for conflict.

Conscription isn't a bad idea!

Carl: I agree with you 100%. I wasn't suggesting otherwise. I think where we are seeing things differently in that you are viewing this in terms of practically giving a task to a group of men. ...
One thing I have not heard yet is the definition of "combat effectiveness."
This claim of maintaining "full combat efficiency" is idiocy. There is no way that efficiency after 7 days isn't lower...
I agree completely. I just logged on to make the same comment.

Mike - Great examples.
Let's hope that the child soldiers find CS gas terrifying and incapacitating. If not, the operation will end as soon as the photos of a dozen dead child soldiers...
This could be a very long post. I dont' have the time for it right now, but here's the very short version.
Yes, we are going to have a very hard time affording our military in the future.

I think this is my first post in almost six months. It's a relief that I finally have the time to dedicate some time to SWJ once again.
If they stormed the ship with a 100 commandos and...
They're speaking Hebrew. The "Jewish" language could be many languages. There might be a strong case for Aramaic, but Yiddish would be more likely in the last few centuries.

Marc:
I remember the "quantum mind" movement. I blame it for that damned movie "What The Bleep Do We Know?"! LOL!
Schoolkid: Marc has reminded me of a book that you will have fun with given...
Make sure you include a theoretical physicist in your discussion. That way when you finally get tired of it he will explain that until they (physicists) find a way to resolve relativity and quantumn...
Many scholars some how fail to decide on and stick to their thesis. As I mentioned before, I can give you an example of this when I get home and have access to my books. I know this may sound like...
