I’m 68, overweight and not very active. But what I was taught to do with 10 years working combat airplanes in the USAF and another 25 years working every other type of airplane in the FAA built a skill set in me that can control an airplane right up the crack of your butt. I can still do it being old and fat. I guarantee it. What the military needs to do us stop forcing “woke” on its troops and absolutely stop glorifying pervs in the ranks. Fat doesn’t make you stupid. Sitting at a thinking position is not hampered by weight. Administer a solid PT program and stick to it. Your troops will thank you for it. Even the fat ones.

I beg to differ. Those large dead bodies will make great sand bags for those who are fit enough to fight.

White males have no business being in today’s military. Let women, trans, minorities fight the wars.

Ask them to self identify as fit. It will work as long as correct pronouns are employed in battle.

Well then, give them a choice. Lose the weight or pay a 15% income surtax the rest or their lives. I also don’t know why the army has this problem. I have never seen a fat active duty marine.
