  1. +Whiskytango Yeah, when the woman says she and other woman could lift a 200lb (90kg) man I would like to see how she would set up the body before carrying him. A strong woman can carry the weight across her shoulders using the proper technique while the man stands up to begin with. But it's a totally different story if the man in injured and is a dead weight lying on the floor. The lift is hardest when lifting the weight toward your shoulders, once your body is supporting the weight then it's easier. But then if you add in the extra equipment 60lb for both the woman and the man she is carrying, plus the gun which she would have to put aside to hold on to the man during the initial lift, then pick it up again while carrying 320lbs (which includes the equipment). Then run with this weight while being shot at, then you are asking for trouble! With regards of what you said. I have seen the uk's strongest women and only 5 women were able to lift 200lb (90kg) sandbag and move it 50 yards, with some dropping it on the way! These woman train with purly weight related training for at least 6 hours a day, no arobic exercises, no other military training, plus they eat tons of food and take protein shakes to get to this stength and only 5 women in the whole of the UK can do this! I know for a fact woman who have other military responsibilities won't have the time and the professional training to lift the same as these five women. I would like to see these women lift the weight they claim to lift and see how efficiant they are lifting it compared to the men! I don't understand why anybody would choose a less efficient sholder over a more efficient one! Regardless if they can pass the minimum requirements.

  3. +Karlo Daniels Good point they seem fine with that don't they! Maybe it's because the afghan men are not western men, so it's ok!

  4. @coffeeinthemorning lol! So you are offended by my comment? I think you just proven why no one would be breeding since everyone won't be talking to each other in case they may offend!

  5. I think the fact that they have to chest beat and vocalise their achievements tells me their main focus here is to increase their status as women rather than showing what they actually did! So this video could be seen as an exaggerated politically correct propaganda video.
