bayonet charges

Still, you don't have mandatory physical ed in the US? In the land of the obese? What happened to Arnie's gym program?

Budget cuts. People wanted to keep art and music classes so phys ed gets the axe first.

In 1975, the United States House of Representatives voted to require school physical education classes include both genders.[3] Some high school and some middle school PE classes are single-sex. Requiring individuals to participate in physical education activities, such as dodge ball, flag football, and other competitive sports remains a controversial subject because of the social impact these have on young children. It is, however, important to note that many school budgets have seen cutbacks and in some cases physical education programs have been cut - leaving educators and students to address these needs in other ways I don't see what's so controversial about having kids play competitive sports

I guess this is the type of America we've turned into... one where Army recruits don't even get yelled at!
