A lot of talk about how ‘global warming’ is a national security issue. I think that’s ludicrous. However, there’s no talk about how obesity is a national security issue, probably because that would be ‘cruel, hate’ speech and body-shaming.

But, it’s clear it’s a problem both in terms of national security (military unpreparedness) and a detriment to effective policing.

You may remember that escapee from the ATL jail who ended up beating his escort half to death, stealing her gun and going on a four-day killing spree about a decade or so ago. That sheriff who was escorting him - alone - was a woman, under 5’5” and over 200 lbs.

But, she was a minority, a female and therefore, an invaluable member of law enforcement....and a half-dozen or so people are now dead because of it.
