As I said, 21st century, never in modern times. People always tend to look back a 100 years.
100 miles in less than 3 days. I don't know how that's possible except with ground support, as I said, such as APC's and tanks, or air support and transport.
Also, I didn't mean slow as in distance wise. I meant slow in movement. You gotta admit this, I mean come on, they have 50 pounds of equipment on, I don't even consider that light infantry. You got the vest, ammunition or magazines, pads everywhere, heavy boots, the helmet weighs more than my cat, the gun alone weighs like a SAW machine gun with all those costumizations such as flash lights and handles, plus extras such as binocs and water, grenades, so on and so fourth, plus a backpack full of stuff.
They weigh alot individually and are slow individually in movement, and I didn't mean slow as in snail type slow, but I can see it when they break down doors for example. Not distance wise.
