“They ran all over Fort Benning. All over kingdom come. Airborne was simply infantry dropped into war without any means of transport. Anywhere you had to go you went on foot, which required men of exceptional endurance. The goal of the first week was to weed out anyone who wasn’t supremely fit. No sense training you to jump if you didn’t have the stamina.” — Jack Wang
