This is sad and dangerous, but not surprising. Just look around next tie you're out.

Little Willy Milley is also a fat, gross blob.
Oh, a brainless butt-kissing blob.
So, let’s not just pick on the young.

If I was a real problem solver these days I would ask how motivated overweight people are. In the days of the draft, that problem was addressed in boot camp or basic training. The other issues can’t get fixed that way.

We might also get back to hiring warriors again, rather than pronoun experts.

Our society in general is not a pretty sight.

It’s probably just as well. I can see companies of Snowflakes being wiped out while they’re staring at their cellphones.

https://www.jpost.com/Israel-News/Half-of-Israeli-youth-do-not-enlist-in-IDF-614604

… The alarming figure based on IDF data, first published by Yediot Aharonot, shows that 32.9% of men will receive an exemption from the army. With an average of 15% dropping out during their service, nearly half of men (47.9%) do not complete their military service...

why? because they are fat, on drugs or over medicated, have zero sense of how to WORK.
Maybe they should make a work ethic video game.
( while we are at it- we have enough single moms in uniform so let’s take a break)

I don't know how you could take a ghetto youth and train it. The ghetto reading proficiency is at a 5th grade level at best.

Exactly why we should have universal military training as part of high school.

We shouldn’t write-off the next generation. We should do what we can to get the next generation into shape.

Pshhh...They’ll just lower the standards, again, and again, and again.....

How much lower can you get than an AIDS infected fag?

This is the official reason given why they can’t make recruiting and retention goals. The actual reason is the DOD went woke.

This is gaslighting at it’s finest. The WOKENESS is the reason. Tearing down statues of Gen Lee HAS CONSEQUNENCES.

back in the day, when there was a draft, the unfit became fit after boot camp.
Fat was no big deal. judges were giving young men the option of 2 years in jail or join the military.

times sure have changed. Not sure I would want to be in today’s “woke” military

I am surprised that overweight was only 11%. When I see young folks, it’s the odd ball in shape people that stand out because there are not many.

I don't see the physically unfit as a problem, more of a challenge to be solved, and simply done.

I was a HQs Battery Commander at Fort Bliss: cooks and clerks. We had an hour's worth of PT every day: 20 minutes of calisthenics, followed by a two mile run in formation...led by me, of course.

My PT test pass rate was 99%, 3 failures out of 300, and those three passed a few weeks later.

I was in Army Basic Training at Fort Jackson, SC the summer of 1979. I was in the very first co-ed training Platoon.

Yes, it got tiring dragging those boys along with us every day, but of all of us, I only remember a very few not making it through.

And it was no cake-walk, and our standards were the SAME as they boys, and there was no PC BS or ‘wokeness’ to deal with.

Also, there’s no crying in Army Basic Training. Well, at least not in FRONT of anyone.

“Cry on your own time, Maggot, not mine!” LOL!

Of course that fact that the military has turned into a woke social experiment is the biggest detriment of all.

Some People I know don’t even bother to smoke marijuana any longer - they just take their THC in the form of gummy-bears.
