Simple problem to solve.
Allow recruits to sign up for the optional 8 week fat camp before boot camp.
Two months of proper diet and exercise can drop 30-40 pounds off anyone.
Put ‘em all on digital heart monitors, assign HR Zone goals and durations. Staff with knowledgeable trainers.
And your digital tag says what you can eat. And it’s all protein, fat and salad. There are no candy bars or chips in fat camp, no mashed potatoes. No rice. No bread.
6 months and you can slice 100lbs off anyone carrying 100lbs of fat.
10’s of thousands of recruits will sign up for this alone.
Do so but draft them like Israel.
Simple problem to solve.

Excellent post although I would favor a universal draft of every kid at age 18 except those medically certified to be mentally and/or physically unqualified. No other exceptions would qualify an exemption.
