      This sounds like farming zombie pigmen in Minecraft

      Accurate I guess

      One foggy morning on the border of England and Scotland…

      …a Scottish voice came out from within the dense fog.

      “Any one Scotsman can beat any 10 Englishmen.”

      The English general stationed at the border took offense and sent down 10 of his soldiers. There were sounds of a hell of a fight and NO ONE returned. An hour later, the same voice was heard.

      “Any one Scotsman can beat any 50 Englishmen.”

      With this the English general sent down 50 of his soldiers. The same thing, a terrible fight ensured and again NO ONE returned. An hour later, the same voice:

      “Any one Scotsman can beat any 100 Englishmen.”

      Same same, down went 100 of the best. NO ONE returned. An hour later:

      “Any one Scotsman can beat any 1,000 Englishmen.”

      By this time, the English general had enough and was about to go down himself, when he saw a lone Englishman crawling up the hill. He was battered to a pulp.

      As he reached his general he said, “Don’t send any more troops down, it’s a trap! THERE’S TWO OF THEM!”

      No, US active duty soldiers are usually all in really good shape.

      Mostly because they’re all on cocaine, meth, benzos, and because beating their wives and kids is good exercise.

        This do need some clarification first, like for example military volunteering statistics. If UK military have trouble filling the posts, it might be as well true, because they are forced to lower their criteria. If not, it’s probably false.

        I say this because this exact thing happened in Poland, around 2000-2010 military was swarmed by people wanting to become soldiers because job market was shit (there was also some opportunities for really good wages as imperialist invaders in Afghanistan and Iraq). Afterwards the trends reversed and for few years already there is talk about getting the draft back.
