Col David Hackworth

"The more sweat on the training field, the less blood on the battlefield." - Col David Hackworth

A notable quote from a remarkable soldier. And you know the advice is true because it has been true for over 2,700 years.

"We don't rise to the level of our expectations; we fall to the level of our training." - Archilochus

Pretty sure the 7th grade educated Hackworth was not aware of Archilochus.
