In the past, the army was very popular tied legs this is why?

The former army is very popular leg binding, there are three main reasons

1, backward way of maneuvering

Previously, the army's infantry are traditionally on foot, marching, fighting, all rely on the legs, only way to maneuver is to walk, in order to alleviate long-distance marching to bring the In order to alleviate the fatigue of leg muscles brought about by long-distance marching, every soldier must master the skill of playing the leg binding. With the development of weapons and equipment progress, the battlefield maneuver increasingly advanced, soldiers can not only transport vehicles, armored vehicles to implement the maneuver, and even helicopters to implement the rapid mobility, playing the tied legs of this skill has become less important.

2, a single means of rescue

Previously, the army used bandages not only in the battlefield to make a simple stretcher, or an important battlefield rescue equipment. Once someone was wounded, the surrounding comrades would take his leg off and use the bandage to stop the bleeding. Modern warfare, field hospitals, ambulances will often go to the front line to provide wartime security, and each soldier can also use the first aid kit, the implementation of the battlefield self-help, no longer need to tie the leg of the bandage to act as a rescue device.

3, the combat rhythm is slow

Past war, offensive and defensive transition time is long, the troops can have plenty of time to prepare for the war, including playing the leg bandage and other personal matters , the participants can be dealt with properly. In modern warfare, there are fighter jets in the air, and tanks on the ground for rapid assaults, and a battle can often be over in an instant, making it virtually impossible to give the soldiers time to spend on tying up their legs.

Today, the diversification of maneuvers, means of rescue, combat tempo has become faster, so tied legs are no longer popular, but the spirit of the revolution is still there.
