Wrong again, dumbass. Physical ability was never really part of the game of war, it was technology, organization, and tactics even before the firearm. The physically stronger barbarians/primitives always lose to the more advanced group with better equipment and tactics.

Indeed. Every Roman soldier was just 100 pounds of asthma, max, but they were organised. To get from one end of Europe to the other they used their superior technological knowledge to build jet-powered chariots. There was no marching for the average Roman soldier, they'd end up with sore feet.
