I remember reading Robert Kershaw's Skymen, about the evolution of paratroopers and their stories. There was a section about the german airborne invasion of Crete, and how a german paratrooper talked about how the Fallschirmjäger were some of the most fit soldiers around, and how it didn't matter worth a damn with the horrendous casualties they were taking.
Not that I expect Pete Hegseth to read, but the recent push for the US armed forces personel to be more fit, more testorone filled, in the face of drone warfare and balistic missiles always reminds me of that in terms of utter futility.

Thats such a disgusting take over the lives of 2 service members who died serving their country. You should be ashamed.

He wasn't responding to the loss of life of the american service members.
He was responding to the joke of the USA suffering a crushing defeat to the persians.

Absolutely no way. That gives the U.S. an easy and desperately needed narrative they can work with, and it hands them a fight they’re very capable of ultimately prevailing in. A conventional ground force they could obliterate would be a welcome distraction. There’s no reason for Iran to embark on something that idiotic.

Fitness is never a bad thing. The worst it will do is not change anything. The benefits are that fitter people heal better, are substantially less likely to get injured, are physically capable of doing every operation, etc.
Fitness is part of training to be as effective as you possibly can be. Every bit counts.

Unless of course you are a professional soccer player and the merest contact can create excruciating pain, causing you to fall down and clutch the affected part in agony.........

Maybe if you read down, you'll see I apologized because my phone linked 2 unrelated quotes. But I guess reading is hard for both of us.

Correct me if I’m wrong, but don’t they have to cross Iraqi territory in order to make that happen?

No way. Tehran’s way too far into the country, and we saw what happened when a single F-15 went down and how close that was to disaster. Drones are getting shot down over Iran by MANPADS regularly. Utterly inconceivable that they’d try an 800km deep Op Eagle Derp.

Inconceivable that they would think any ground op in Kuwait is a good idea, but if they were to do it, I wouldn't imagine they would want to hang around.
