Martin Van Creveld Quotes
It Is Of Course True That Many Modern Combat Sports Are Extremely Demanding In Terms Of Physical Force, Skill, And Endurance. Indeed Many Athletes Are Much Fitter And Better Trained Than The Vast Majority Of Soldiers. However, All Those Various Kinds Of Sport Are Based On Artificial Rules As To What Is And Is Not Permitted. Furthermore, And With The Exception Of Fencing, A Highly Ritualized Form Of Combat To Which We Shall Return, Even The Most Violent Ones Do Not Permit The Players To Use Weapons. In Their Absence, Most Of Those Skills Are Too Specialized To Be Of Much Military Relevance.
