Sad truth right there

It's not sad at all.

You can't outrun bullets and if your muscles are glorious and rippling it won't stop them.

Avoiding bullets and fighting in today's war is about intellect and strategy more than it is brawn and agility. Those are still important but less emphasized than being able to construct a battlefield and quantify your chances of survival.

Communication is also by far the most important aspect of any given battlefield; not only your ability to understand instructions but to give them.

As I said, there's nothing sad about it and in the words of Erwin Rommel.

Sweat saves blood.
Blood saves lives.
Brains save both.
