Perfect isn't the enemy of the good, and the added fitness from body armour, live fire drills and PT will still help. Also, run on benefits would be maybe cutting down eating due to boredom, improved mood.
Surprised they would deploy T-62s as everyone keeps saying - the video I saw was of them in Russia actually, so wrong on my part. Russia has ~8000 T-72s in storage, no ?
Didn't write anything about weight loss though, just a joke that kids carrying a 16 lb plate carrier would help them get muscles. Hm, I wonder if they can work active shooter drills into PE in schools - or do they do so already in some US schools ?
I think that's the same one I'm thinking of, will have to wait until I can access a paywall dodging site to check but I didn't take the impression that they were demanding Ukraine give up land or anything but just that they may have to do that, and also the US support has limits which may or may not be explained clearly to the Ukrainians - I think it is, don't imagine either they are so dumb to labour under false impressions or the US would be so dishonest with a friendly nation.

Friend played Stellaris due to free weekend, so went back to that. Was fun to re-learn the game. Still suck at it, got the Unbidden invading and they pretty much wrecked me. But good to see espionage is finally in (they've caught up to SEIV ! )
