The Pentagon released their choice for the most intense training photos from the US Armed Forces in 2013 and Business Insider chose the best of them and I’m sharing a few of them here.

Studies suggest the money saved within a years time on fuel alone, is more than enough to pay for the first 9 holes of golf for our beloved leader. The issue of moral among the troops has yet to be studied.  Pictured below:  [TC–Tactical Camel]…Lol!
