People in the army are also regularly carrying an extra 50 pound ruck, 25 pounds of body armor, and enough other various and sundry items to add up to about 100+ lbs of total kit. That's probably what's destroying people's knees more than the running by itself
Coupled with weeks if not more of regularly scheduled sleep deprivation so you never actually recover from any of those hard days.
