In simplistic terms yes. However, rucking is as much about getting used to having in on your back as it is about the walking itself and the only way to condition your body (back, feet, shoulders, & legs) to the pain brought on by the ruck is to do it for many miles.
I assure you whoever made that statement has never worn the "Tick" for hours on end in a tactical setting. While CF is a good overall program it is not the answer for everything as they would have people believe...
