[QUOTE="CuseJacket, post: 771008, member: 274"] [USER=4719]@GTRanj2[/USER], to respond to your GT specific questions to me: Correct, I did not mean what you suggested here. To try to answer your question, I think there are a lot of talking points conflated into one here re: "size", so I'll try to simplify my response at the risk of oversimplifying: Generally speaking I do not believe the guys on the LOS were the right body types. Nor do I feel that body type alone is specifically what CGC and crew are looking at (e.g., athleticism - burst, power, etc.), even though that might be the dumbed down talking point that he chooses.
