“Let me know when you can find anyone that can do that (lift a 900-lb anti-tank gun) by themselves.”

He didn’t say that. It was a Marine fire-team that did that. Point is you could probably only get 4 bodies around that field piece to lift it. Assume 1 of those 4 Marines were a 5’3” female... Do you think that gun gets over the sea wall this time?

''But I will change my opinion when she can take a 912 pound 37 mm anti tank gun and throw it up on top of a seven foot seawall to take out a couple of pillboxes.''

Take it up with the freeper.

Nor were/are teams equal. I bet there were stronger/weaker teams that had more and less men who picked those guns up. That is the nature of having a team. It is only as strong as the weakest link.
