90%……..baloney………stop with the negativity .

Seriously? SMH.
On a positive note, if we have to ever fight our fedgov woke army, we will be able to win against many more of them.
“since 2001 the number of soldiers who are classified as overweight has skyrocketed.”
Well we (US taxpayers) will all be paying that Big Pharma cost for ozempic. Some $900 a month for 4 shots. Then who knows what the trans drugs cost.
This military deserves to die.
The Army itself says only 23% are capable if military service.

Well, one has to agree: These sisde show specimens are definitely not physically fit. Believe your eyes and your brains.
We now have not a “Defenses Department, but a “Defenseless Department.”
This is how America’s ecstatic enemies without and within have succeeded in detroying the U.S. military, not so long ago the mightiest military in the world. This, plus the U.S. sending humongous amounts of the U.S.’s best armaments to Ukraine, leaving the U.S., it seems, with a scarcity left for the defense of the U.S. and/or any other allied nation.”
All animals are equal, just some are more equal than others.
Put them on point dismounted to clear for mines and snipers, I guess is the message. So standards don’t make a difference.
This kind of special treatment for trannies will increase the wall of resentment between the "real" military and the LGBTQ military...providing that there is still some remnant of the real military on active duty.
“...will be made abundantly clear when the bullets fly....”
It’s called fragging. The fags will be fragged.
Another day, another Not The Bee that should be Bee if we lived in a sane world.
I’d include fentanyl in all hormone treatment plans to solve this problem.
We may not be scared but we should never trust those mentally ill perverts to not be horribly vicious at every opportunity, because I would expect that every time.

I think I’m going to stop wearing my army hat... :(

Military medicine is a trade off. These people that are willing to step in front of a bullet so others can live the life they choose are worth every cent they get.
No one can make me believe that diabetes is just the outcome of wrong or too much food. It might be contributory in some cases, but in others it is not a player. Overweightness in the military was an excuse for releasing them of the job to save government money and justifying it with bad publicity. Uncle sugar bought the whole package when they drafted or enlisted the people they did for their political purposes. Then they dissected the person to get a way to cut the cost of their agenda. But in the meantime they have ignored their own rules to fill slots. I had three troops I supervised in my career that were not within the height restrictions at enlistment. One played basketball for a name university, one played in two NIT’s, and the third had a tryout with the Lakers. All were accepted into the military. One was even given the job of crawling into bomber wings to work at 6’ foot 8” plus. He lost that job at tech school and was cross trained into my career field. Outstanding troop. But they took the whole package so they kept him in because they were committed.
When I was determined to have contracted diabetes in 1987 I was consistently under 190 pounds at 6 feet one and was running 5 miles plus a day while teaching and competing at two open level anaerobic sports in handball and racquetball. I was in outstanding shape. But I was still a diabetic. And the years of the illness, one that seems to come from nowhere, have taken their toll as I now have a heart and respiratory condition that is taking its toll. My father was diabetic and no one knew until it happened.
I can’t speak for all the members that are ill with this disease, but comparing diabetes with trans actions is apples and oranges. No one wants to get diabetes. But being trans is a choice and not a medical condition. And that’s where I agree with you as not one doctor, and I think they have tried their butts off, has been able to connect homosexuality or cross gendering with DNA.
So please don’t configure the weight problems inherent to diabetes with the choices of sexual questionability. It isn’t in the same parking lot.

Correct.
The Army needs to find a better height/weight standard anyway. We had one guy (corn-fed Nebraska kid) that got dropped from our class because he didn’t pass tape. Had the best time (out of ~100 of us) on the 6-mile ruck. Pretty good PT score too, but not great enough to waiver failing height/weight :/
