there is simply no comparison between a 500 yard kill shot from behind cover on an air support softened target to charging across an open field with sword in one hand and a heavy ass shield in the other.

the movies I watch are documentaries and I would consider myself a history buff as well as a former soldier

Here is one tiny example of how things have changed in my short lifetime. When I was in the Corps we "humped" everywhere. That is slapped an A.L.I.C.E. on our back and stepped out to wherever we were going to go. Didn't matter if the movement was 2 miles or 20, we humped that bitch there and back and felt a cattle car was a luxury.

I do not see a lot of walking nowdays, they have APCs and HumVees. Luxuries to me. Does that make the soldiers today pussies in my eyes... no, just as I stated in my previous post
