Well, I threw my first one too far, then held back just a bit with the second to put it inside the tire.

I can’t imagine anyone that's ever heard/felt/seen a grenade explode would have any problem throwing it far enough!

Some have questioned whether the removal of the grenade requirement was an accommodation for female recruits, though the Army has denied those allegations
Yup, just as I figured.
Deny it all you want, we know the score...

They’re what? 18-19? And they can’t throw it 15 yards. That’s pretty sad

... Give them all a grenade throwing trophy, it will get all better. Just another result of the pussification of America.

A gun is a tool, no better or no worse than any other tool: an axe, a shovel or anything. A gun is as good or as bad as the man using it. Remember that.

And shepherds we shall be, for Thee, my Lord, for Thee.
Power hath descended forth from Thy hand, that our feet may swiftly carry out Thy command.
So we shall flow a river forth to Thee, and teeming with souls shall it ever be.
In nomine Patris, et Filii, et Spiritus Sancti.

Right? Sad and dangerous. If they can't meet basic strength requirements, repeat Basic or out!

Yup, sadly agree with you (sounds like you too watched a bit of nutnfancy at some point on YouTube).
