    The "how much weight can/should a soldier carry" thing is quite interesting, in regards to female soldiers.

    The Norwegian armed forces is a conscript army. The basic soldier and many NCOs are conscripts, as are seamen and various other roles. There are professional soldiers, too (COs, pilots, special forces, etc.)

    But for the last several years, we switched form "every able-bodied man" to "every able-bodied person". Young women are now also required to serve for 1 year plus regular training exercises. (I should stress that since the fall of the USSR ("Our Great Eastern Neighbour") an ever-smaller fraction actually has to do military service.)

    But women can carry less weight than men, and military equipment is sized to fit men. The latter problem is working itself out (by buying smaller sizes with different fit), but how much should the basic infrantryman/woman be expected to carry?

    It may not be a surprise that special forces is exclusively male, but we have female submarine captains and army COs.

    The only real comparison I have is from boy scouts. Our backpacking guidelines were always 20% of your weight, so that if someone got injured and their gear had to be split up, nobody should exceed 25% of their own weight. I feel like you could maybe say professional soldiers could easily go 25/33, but you always need the gear to be as lightweight as possible and the soldiers should be geared as lightly as possible as well, to make operations more feasible in general, and also to allow for more room for specialty equipment (like weather-related gear and mission-specific equipment).

    IIRC US Special Forces is mostly male, but not exclusively. This is because garrison/support staff like quartermasters and administrative clerks can be embedded as far down as the company level, so those special forces have their own supply and support staff, and all those folks are in the special forces unit and therefore have to meet the same requirements as the infantry they support.

    Again, this is all I'm pretty sure that's how that works (I am prior Army, but others may have more ... personal experience with special forces).

    All that to say I'm like 80% certain that the US Army's special forces have women in their ranks. I had an admin sergeant who was working toward going out for it.

    US soldiers are carrying 43.5kg (95.7 pounds). I don't think that fits the 25% guideline. Unless there's some absolute chonkers in the Army.

    How's that break down? Like, what're they carrying and how much does everything weigh?

    This article I found seems to break some of that down, though I only gave it a skim, because it is rather long: https://www.cnas.org/publications/reports/the-soldiers-heavy-load-1

    Has the approach load for an assistant machine gunner at 140lbs. Good lord. That’s awful close to carrying 100% of my own body weight.

    Yeah that's the guy we call the "AG" because he carries enough ammo to, frankly, kill everyone in the nearest town.

    Twice.

    e: But yeah that article kind of proves the point I was making earlier; carrying an overly heavy load negatively impacts performance. The graph in that article points toward a 50 lb goal, with a standard Rifleman carrying about 63 lbs. That's ... probably about right, based on my experience and extrapolation. It's still above where I was saying with the 25/33 mark, but if 63 lbs were to be compared to one third bodyweight. The Army's height/weight standards show that a soldier 6ft tall (+/- a couple of inches) should be at least 130 lbs and not more than 226 (based on age), generally probably in the 150-170 range, so 63 is still a little high, but probably something that's manageable.

    PREVIOUSLY IN HISTORY, or at least one of these history threads some time ago, the first known written use of the f-word in English was this monk scribbling a note in the margins of a book, "o d fuckin abbot". That dates to the early 1500s.

    19f4zrrgo5hh8jpg.jpg

    But now historians have found a much earlier reference: a court roll dated the 8th of December 1310: Roger Fuckebythenavele.

    oldest-F-word.jpg

    There are three references to this guy, with two in subsequent court hearings. In the third, he was outlawed. I assume there was something else going on aside from him apparently thinking he was supposed to stick it in the belly button. That being said, it's over 700 years since then, and Roger, we know what you did.


    Note: There's also a John le Fucker listed in a record dating to 1278, but there's a dispute over the name.

  • GundiGundi Serious Bismuth Registered User regular
    I could have sworn (heh) that the F-word was just like, a standard old/middle english word until the norman francophones thought it was crude.

    the Fugger family, well known for their trade empire, was written "fucker" previously
    The last name was originally spelled "Fucker" - the first recorded reference to the family comes when Johann's son, also named Johann (or Hans), moves to Augsburg in 1367, with the local tax register laconically noting Fucker advenit, "Fugger has arrived"

    Oh, the grad student provost at my university in Germany was heavily into ancient battle re-enactment. He had a 'social bonding' thing for the students that was re-enacting the battle of the Teutoburger Wald every year, and always cast himself as Armenius/Herman Ze German. Apparently if he didn't like you very much you got to be a roman and huddle in the middle of a clearing while the favoured German troops threw paintballs at you from the trees.

    ... I guess that's actually an anti-Roman thing but it had a very similar vibe.

    The other person I know who is very into reenacting ancient battles is a big deal in greek warfare afficionado circles and has run experiments trying to test out myths and theories about their warfare tactics and formations.
    He's also a conspiracy theorist and Alex Jones listener and almost certainly pretty racist, so if anything the re-enactor bit is the least objectionable part of his personality.

    Yeah you know I'm not 100% how that actually worked.

    It’s also very common to perform character assassination of a rival by painting them as a corrupt person that flaunts the rules of society. And clearly, whatever my rival is doing (or rather what I am accusing them of doing) is the gravest threat to our precious Roman society.

    Pretty much. After successfully negotiating a military/naval alliance with the king of Bithynia-Pontus when he was in his early 20's (Rome was looking to seize a city on Lesbos and needed naval cover and help ferrying the legions), upon returning to Rome Julius Caesar was hounded by rumors that he acted as a honeypot to get the ships the Romans wanted. So for the rest of his life/career he was derisively referred to as the "Queen of Bithynia".

    I dunno, somebody with more knowledge of the Roman's kinky shit chime in here and edumacate me.

    Rome had a quite different way of thinking about gender and sexuality than the modern west does. In terms of sex there's basically two genders, the superior and the inferior. As long as the superior is the one receiving the pleasure and the inferior is providing the pleasure, that's "straight" to the Romans. That can commonly mean penetration but also intercrucal sex, handjobs, whatever else they got up to.

    So the most obvious part of that superior/inferior dynamic to us is that males were by default superior and females were inferiors. But there were other, equally important aspects. Age, wealth, class, citizenship - all of these things determined the correct way for a person to act during sex. The most famous example of this is the political slur against Julius Caesar, that he was the "Queen of Bithynia." The slur was not that young Caesar was having sex with a man, it was not homophobic in the sense that we define it. But his opponents claimed that he was the inferior to the non-roman king of Bithynia, that he was the one being penetrated. Caesar was still relatively young at this point and for a normal citizen it might not matter, but Caesar was already the head of his respectable family - the pater familias - a rich clan. For a pillar of Roman society to be in a subservient relationship to a foreigner - it was morally shocking, not because of the sex but because of the gender. OTOH young boys and teens in inferior sexual relationships to men was considered a totally unremarkable part of conventional sexuality, and as in many other cultures there was frequently a pretty explicit list of expectations and rights that those inferiors could still expect to be honored.

    It's also worthwhile considering this view of sex and sexual relationships in terms of larger Roman society. Roman society was built on a system of patronage (patrocinium), with poorer families swearing loyalty to a richer client. Much like a family relationship or a marriage, patronage was heirarchical, you couldn't just walk away from it without strong cause, but there were also explicit obligations on both sides of the relationship. And when slaves were freed or bought their freedom their relationship with their owner did not end, they still maintained a patron/client relationship as a citizen. You could think of this as a way of keeping the slave inferior, and that wouldn't be entirely incorrect, but it also placed the slave within the framework of Roman society and gave them an in to further opportunities. A slave-owner couldn't simply try to save money by throwing his slave out on the street penniless, for instance.

    Anyway point being that in the Roman worldview social relationships, family relationships, and even sexual relationships - matters that we think of as being inherently private, separated off from the public sphere - were not private, isolated matters to the Romans. They were public, small fractal portions of the entire Roman social network. A pater familias like Julius Caesar taking on the wrong role in bed raised questions about whether he could maintain his role expectations in other aspects of his life, as a politician representing Rome, as a patron representing client families, as a moral man in society. But the fact that the sex was with a man was not by itself the problem. Like I said earlier, the gender divide is much less about male/female than superior/inferior.

    On the other hand for folks like clients, slaves, a young man who isn't the head of his family... If men like that want to be penetrated by older, richer men, it's not only OK, it's a demonstration of their correct understanding of hierarchy and an inferior's duty. And it's not viewed as troubling or as prostitution if a young man is sexing an older man in exchange for favors such as education or a higher station, etc. But again, ONLY if you're an inferior. If Julius Caesar - the guy who's supposed to be handing favors out - is exchanging sexual pleasure in exchange for political favors, then how can you as one of his clients trust that he properly respects the rules of obligation and hierarchy that keep you in money for bread and wine?

    And yes, this view of sex is very much assuming that only 1 person is gonna be enjoying the sex. In practice obviously we're talking about human beings and things happen, but there's still strong taboos about how exactly they're receiving that pleasure.

    EDIT: and of course from the viewpoint of the ruling elites, if you're just giving out handies and pining after cute foreign boys, you're not upholding the dignity and power expected of your class. If you don't act "properly" as a patriarch than it undermines the all-powerful image that your class needs to keep to maintain their position.
