I&#8217;ve been reading about the Japan-China dispute around the Senkaku Islands for quite some time, all the way back to the NightWatch Newsletters I used to get about 15 years ago! We need allies to do their part, and Japan is doing it by building up their defense and deepening our economic ties.

Interestingly, during the initial period of female integration in special operations, I had to write a presentation in defense of the weight we carried for ruck marches. The weight we use today is really close to the average weight a Roman soldier carried 2000 years ago! We did not change our weight, slow our pace or lower any standard despite pressure during the initial attempts at integration.<\/p>\n<blockquote class=\"twitter-tweet\">\n<p dir=\"ltr\" lang=\"en\">\ud83c\uddee\ud83c\uddf9\ud83c\udf92 THE ROMAN SARCINA \u2013 THE BACKPACK THAT CARRIED AN EMPIRE<\/p>\n<p>In ancient Rome, conquest didn\u2019t start on the battlefield&#8230; it started with logistics.<\/p>\n<p>The sarcina \u2013 the soldier\u2019s backpack \u2013 was more than just gear.
