If I was China I would prepare and just move in about 5 years . World war 3 shyt just Chinese soldiers Parachuteing in

Ima ignore the main issue with your take, but Can the average Chinese person throw hands with the average American

I remember in middle school we had to do the fitness test where we had to run a mile in 15 mins, run the 100 meters, do pull ups, push ups, sit up and the shuttle run.

shyt and folks were struggling with that. The presidents fitness assessment should be a pass fail thing.

 

[Astroslik]

I'm in the Army...and more than half the army can't do a sub 16 minute 2 mile

They overstating this shyt.

But to be fair, sub 8 minute miles are above average.

Single mothers and liberal ideology is a national security risk

Keep expanding the American slum.

Look all around the world and see the depravity poverty creates

Yeah that ain’t it at all. Folks in a rush to go to school to end up working the same data entry position they could of gotten without a college degree a few years ago. To me it seems as if degrees are becoming more over inflated than of actual use for most citizens.

Data entry or target practice with strangers from the other side of the globe?

That's why I said degrees and other certs that can provide a platform for anything other than being told what to think. Bet that stat is not for recruits for skilled military personell

It can’t be that hard to train people regardless of weight or mental issues
There’s things they could do to reverse that trend in less than a year

And most of those things involve personal discipline. If they had that odds are they wouldn’t be in the situation they are in if needing to lose weight. This isn’t just about getting an able bodied person in shape this is about training a person who was never active to become physically active.

Basically you are taking folks who have 0 athletic ability and expecting them to be able to at least hang with the majority in practice. Aptitude and attitude (physical capability) are extremely important. And I’m not seeing this in the vast majority of youth.

Whatever happened to “join the military or go to jail.” They should bring that back.

I rather be in basic training then doing 5 years in a box

Would be cool, but a lot of these younger people are Criminal Psychopaths and Mentally ill

They give zero fukks about going to jail for nothing

And I’m sure that dude with zero athletic ability, self discipline issues, and aptitude issues can be corrected and turned into a warrior and Im sure the youth isn’t that much different from past generations
Again the gov can reverse this trend if they really saw this as an issue

The average American can not beat a trained soldier. Go to Disney land that’s a sample size of the average American . Families from all over , different demographics , race , Financial backgrounds Most of them are stupid and out of shape . And short

idk where y’all got the idea that all Americans are massive specimens of the human body we are short and stumpy by average. Netherlands is the tallest country China population is 4X us they are short We are short besides the exceptions but they out number us .

Maybe these kids are just too smart

Have you met these kids.

3 million soldiers couldn’t takeover america
And What about vs trained Americans because
In this improbable situation wouldn’t Americans be trained if they knew Chinese were coming

The difference from past generations is that at least the individual was healthier/tougher physically/mentally (able to withstand more)

The government can’t really reverse the trend parents and people in general will need to recreate it. This is the new norm for first world places. Of course the warrior class won’t be warriors as more and more are removed away from warrior culture. And not just anyone can be trained to be a warrior. That warrior class is a sub class it’s self within military service. We can’t even get the majority of people whom should be qualified to join in the door because of the new genesis health system.

Basically all of these youth issues that used to be able to be hidden/concealed are now no longer able to be hidden.
