Excerpt from The Care of Troops (for Line Officers)

Necessity for Physical Perfection. - It is an axiom that the strength of a military organization consists not in the number of men enrolled, but in the number who can bear arms. Physical perfection, therefore, is the prime requisite. Courage is a secondary considera tion. The dead can be replaced, but the non-effective in hospital leave gaps in the ranks which can not be filled until their names are stricken from the rolls. They are, consequently, not only a source of expense to the Government, but a source of weakness as well. To those honorably disabled in service belong, of course, all the affectionate ministration and support a grateful people can bestow; but mere weaklings should be eliminated in the beginning.
