Pfft, what ever. School fights, give me a break.
As for hand to hand combat. It is the bloke who smashes the other guy with his entrenching tool, or splits his head open with his rifle butt that wins... not the guy who has his footwork and punches just perfect. Given the situation of a battlefield (the stress, noise, heightened adrenalin etc) it is just not practical. We aren't talking about sparing in a ring (or god forbid a school yard punch up), we are most likely talking about to blokes fighting tooth and nail for their lives in the bottom of some slimey ditch. Put it into perspective, it's not a computer game.
