if i was drafted into the army i couldnt pass the running on the pt test for sure since you have to run 2 miles in 15:54. how did so many men make it through in wwi wwii and vietnam basic, was everyone just real fit to begin with or does the army getbyou into shape?
Basic training is about getting you into shape, plus the world wars were taking literally every non crippled man and vietnam had the draft and forced you to go

Basically this. I seen some fat people go to basic and come back fit for service. They don't expect you to run two miles in under 16 from the start. Though they do make it feel like they do.
Yes back then there were fewer crippled by sitting
Most people don't even qualify to join the military because they're fat or don't have a high school diploma.

during the great depression before the war under nutrition was more common than obesity, manlets were told to go work in the factories and the underweight but tall enough were fed enough to bulk up in bootcamp.

It doesn't seem that hard

Congrats on your healthy legs and lungs
If you are drafted and can't pass, they will continue to make your life hell until you do or they throw you in jail

You realize that most weapons in the world wars were produced for war by the nation states involved and were not improvised?
>was everyone in the 60s more fit?
Easily.
