Civilization is making us too soft

Yeager says that in WWII, 11% of the pilots shot down 90% of the enemy planes that got shot down.  He went on to say that in ALL cases, the men came from backgrounds in which they were familiar with guns and could live off the land.

The advancement of civilization comes at too steep a price if that price includes an inability to survive.  It's a tough world out there.  Being too soft is dangerous to your health.  Advanced civilizations had better understand this or face an uncertain future at best.
