I do miss having beans and cornbread for breakfast.
And creamed foreskins on toast. SOS not so much.

There is no escaping SJW control freaks. We have tried ignoring them, we have tried accommodating them, and the next step on that path is surrender and subjugation. I say it is time to push back hard.

I also have a suggestion for improving the military.
1. No faggots
2. No trans-whatevers
3. Keeps chicks out of combat units
4. End 18 years of policing Muslim countries

Hmmm... Keto-crotch might give away a units position!

This CAN'T be serious proposal.
Can't it?

I have my DD-214.
And I pretty much eat the Keto way these days. Voluntarily.
To: EEGator
That should include NO trans-fats.
No trans-anything!

This will have 'em lining up at the recruiting offices.
I really don't need a sarcasm tag, do I?

Raise your hand if you're happy you already have a DD214. I received mine about 45 years ago.
This article sounds like semi-satire. We had some pretty hard core drinkers on our crew. We didn't drink out at sea. We were more accomplished drinkers when on shore. I just don't think a ban on booze would have worked.

I have my DD-214. I don’t get the beer part? The only time I ever saw alcohol in a chow hall was Thanksgiving and Christmas.

Yes, the Keto diet isn't anything like the silly vegan diet, but it does require strict adherence.
But telling GI's they have to give up beer? At home too?
Ain't happening.

I eat roughly 50% protein, 30% fat, 20% carb.
I lift 3 days a week, sprint 2 days, and volleyball 1 day.

Now they will all be too depressed to perform.
Soldiers in WWII managed to win a war with Lucky Strike cigarettes included in there food rations.

I dont get the beer part? The article says that the keto diet would also be mandatory for off-duty hours too.

Keto means high fat/high protein/low carb.

Michelle Obama School Lunches for the military?
What to they want to do, make them so hungry that they’ll eagerly polish off the backstock of C Rations sitting in supply depots?
