That's mind boggling. I don't want to reply with too much info on a public forum about this subject. Suffice to say that we will not have to "double SF" anytime in the next 4 years. It takes time to build skills and units in order for them to be special.
No slight intended on past warriors as they were my heroes and mentors.

Concur, Doc.
We had a much larger Army back then, and different standards.
I believe that a lot of the selection then was done in combat.
