It is now time for all members of the military who are overweight (or under-tall) to protest being discriminated against because of the military’s weightism bigotry.
It is now the time for the military to realize, that just because a soldier, sailor, etc., is a couple of pounds or more above the weight standards for their height, that they can still be of benefit to the military, such as cooks, clerks, bakers, and other administrative duties.
Organize NOW and DEMAND that the military END ITS BIGOTRY toward those who have a few extra pounds on their frames!
Everyone who enters the military, takes the same oath. Whether they’re “undertall”, or overweight. The primary directive for the military is to be a fighting force. It’s not a “social program”.
Like the black cook at Pearl Harbor, who won medals for manning the guns and shooting back at the Japanese, when it comes down to the “nutcuttin’”, everybody is expected to pick up an arm, and fight.
I was in the Air Force, mostly a support arm of the military, but, we were expected to stay in shape, and pass certain criteria insofar as our weight.
In the military, you become sort of a “2nd class citizen”, and you’re there for the primary directive...not your “education”, social constructs, or fun.
