In the roman army and even the british empire in the 18th thru 19th centuries dysentery wouldn't even get you the day off. Same 30 mile road march then set up camp/fortifications. Heck they would often march 30 miles just to enter into combat upon arrival. Tough, tough people. Turnip soup flavored with salt pork ( rancid) and axel grease.Water taken from creeks or roadside ditches. Imagine how modern americans would stand up to that.
