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.

Oh, and one more thought to ponder, lets render those capable INCAPABLE and while that is happening under our noses, lets put in charge numerous heads that are wolves in sheep’s clothing and because we are so dependent on the media for our spoonfuls of misleading propaganda, we fail to see the poison that has already done it’s damage. Quite possibly with dire consequences that will echo in our children’s time and future generations to come that it may be beyond civil repair. It may lead to war on our borders, within our states, within our cities, and neighbor against neighbor.

The Army should establish a special unit for overweight people and try to get them in shape. When I went through in the 60’s you would get in shape or else.
