An amazing 71% of possible U.S. Army Reserve candidates would be rejected today due to obesity, prescription drug addictions or for other reasons, such as excess tattoos.
Captain Eric Connor, a U.S. Army Reserve Command spokesman recently stated that the majority of applications now fail to meet the recruiting standards due to “mental, moral and physical reasons.” Some on the Left, who are generally not big fans of the military, have seen military service as a social experiment program that offers employment to the least prepared and qualified.
They have forced acceptance of openly gay troops on the military, demanded combat roles and lower physical requirements for women, and are now pushing for integration of transsexual members into the service.
They have forgotten, however, that the purpose of the military is not a jobs program for the least capable, but to protect this nation and to be prepared to enter combat at a moment’s notice. That means that those who join the service must meet standards and requirements that today’s youth are not used to and have not experienced in the lax environment of today’s schools and social scene.
The liberal agenda has been to remove all standards and expectations from America, and while a fast food restaurant or a retail establishment must accept virtually anyone because diversity and acceptance are the highest values of progressives, the military insists that standards must be met, and the coddled youth of today are not measuring up.

Shocking? Not really.
This is a sad testimony to the youth of today. Too much sugar and too little exercise and way, way too much IPhone and IPad. They can’t even make a decent conversation about things outside of their little world. I feel sorry for their parents when these kids inherit the world…..will be disastrous!
wont be obese very long
Not surprised !!!
Milk have him claim to be gay and wrap his head, put him in a robe and he will be fast tracked.
The government in connection with the medical fields are working to ruin the military and America. Most doctors don’t even realize what the are doing. They just follow the rules set forth by the government.
They could be factory workers making bombs AND equipment, like the women in ww2 or maybe the closely qualified could be screened for natural marksmanship and sent to sniper school. lol
Sad
if dems are in control we will not have any military peripd
