Isn't that part of the job of an infantryman? Doing the grunt work for those of us with "thinking" jobs?
WAAAY off topic for the thread (and I do apologise) but I remember one exercise, the infantry lot were sniggering at us having our 100 pound backpacks (45kg) while they were down to lightweight overnight kit only while doing a forced march hill takeover and defensive dig-in. 10k-ish cross country forced march, we were knackered, my boss then called in a favour... We sat watching the infantry lot trench up, one of their officers said "you'd better get yours done before light goes", just at that time a Royal Engineers' JCB pulled up, scooped out our trench in 10 minutes and we did the fancy tidy-up stuff before settling down I've never felt so smug in my life.
