[QUOTE="ToyotaTom, post: 623891, member: 8747"] I want to use this example to explain something. This is a picture of a game played for fun at 75th Ranger Regiment. It's played with a giant ball which is pushed across a goal line on either side of the field by the opposing team. As best I can recall, there are virtually no rules. It's an all out brawl! It wasn't uncommon for people to come out with broken limbs from these games. It was about as savage, primitive neanderthal contest of masculinity and dominance as you can get! And this was fun! But here's the thing... This is where warriors were brought in, taught, trained, grown and nurtured to go out into our worlds most austere environments, fight its most difficult battles and come home victorious. There were no women on the Ranger compound, zero. There was no room for weakness, fear, being offended, sensitivity or anything else that's plaguing our males today. There was no course on Male Toxicity there. If you did slip through the cracks somehow and were easily offended or weak, you'd be identified quickly and either toughened up in the harshest of ways or be sent packing. I miss the place where men were expected to be men and there were no safe spaces. "We must remember that one man is much the same as another, and that he is best who is trained in the severest school.” – Thucydides, “History of the Peloponnesian War” (431-404 B.C.)
