Actually, tanks were invented to give you firepower. If you're not able to run 1.5 miles then sadly sounds like you need to relook at a career where fitness is paramount.
Infantry, or most combat arms, needs fitness. Plain and simple. Methods of transport are just ways to move you faster and safer.

Fitness isn't tremendously important because ambulances exist now.
You no longer need to carry your friend 5 miles or whatever.
Discipline is instilled by close order drill, not fitness standards. I don't see what running 1.5 miles has to do with carrying a casualty either.

That's just hardening certain parts of the blade, like having a super hard edge and a relatively soft spine. Blades like that stay bent when you bend them, and the edge cracks and breaks. If you want a sword that is versatile, differential heat treating is the worst you can do.
To figure out what kind of sword you need, I need to know the era, the culture, who will use the sword and how you want them to use it.
Pah everyone knows that the only types of swords you need are claymores be they of the great sword or broadsword variety.

Did you participate in morning PT? Were you more fit, or are you more fit for being in the military? My answer is yes, because fitness is part of my job. I'm sure on your Basic and other courses fitness is emphasized.
At least I was taught that Fitness is a personal responsibility. and it is your responsibility to push yourself.

Again, a 1.5 mile run won't kill you every morning. And that physical exertion and fitness will help when the time comes where you need to do something that requires strength.

A) you do realize i was joking with the "tank were invented so i don't have to run thing"?
B) that said, tank crew do not require the same level of physical fitness as infantry. They require different level of physical fitness, with emphasis on different muscles and abilities. Example:
Typical infantry may need to be able to routinely march long distance with full gear, or run up to 5km with full gear.
Tankers who need to run more than 1000 meters in combat are tankers who are FUBARed.
Hence the emphasis in our PT was short distance runs, short distance runs with stretchers, upper body strength(mostly for tank maintenance).
C) A tank crew is far better off spending an hour practicing tank drills than trying to shave 10 seconds off of their 2km run.
