Men's Journal shows us what's tough.
Money quote, by Senator Bob Dole, regarding his colleague (and former Viet Nam POW) John McCain: “Spend five years in a box and you're entitled to speak your mind.”
Amen, shipmate.
One problem, though: the 2004 article, listing Men's Journal's picks for the 25 toughest men in America, fails to mention Aron Ralston, the Aspen, Colorado gent who used a pocketknife to amputate his own arm after being pinned under a boulder in freak 2003 hiking accident. Now that's tough.
