[QUOTE="wilberforce15, post: 4618465, member: 5053"] "Strength aside" - lol. Long marches don't put strength aside. 150lb rucks don't put strength aside. Squad-level weapons and tactics don't put strength aside. Direct enemy contact doesn't put strength aside. Putting strength aside is phenomenally stupid. You don't look at a wrestling match, or a lifting contest, and say "Putting strength aside...." - it's a primary piece of the equation. You don't get to cast it aside so a woman can play the game. Watch that pugil stick match 5000 more times. We have weight divisions in sports because strength matters. You don't send a lightweight to do heavyweight work. Your ignorance is showing. Being a rifleman is not merely a qualification or an event. It is the primary occupation of every Marine, and should always be mentioned first. "Every Marine is, first and foremost, a rifleman. All other conditions are secondary." And marksmaship is a very, very small part of being a rifleman. The rough work of infantry life is 99% things that aren't shooting. [/QUOTE]
