Should the USMC Change its Enlistment Standards? A Call for Inclusivity in Modern Warfare

The US Marine Corps' three-mile run requirement for enlistment has sparked a debate about inclusivity and the changing nature of modern warfare. A recent video by TheRobbyShow highlighted the issue, suggesting that prioritizing physical fitness over skills relevant to modern combat, such as proficiency in video games, might be outdated. "I say get that guy a pack of Lay's potato chips and let him cook," the author stated, advocating for a more inclusive approach. The video has generated significant online discussion, prompting questions about the effectiveness of current recruitment standards and the role of technological skills in future conflicts.
