For me, I’m just glad I’m retired and too old and fat to be recalled to active duty

Washington, DC. 23 FEB 2010: In order to deal with declining recruitment, Congress passed new legislation repealing the existing statute that expressly prohibits formerly retired, old, fat guys from being recalled to active duty.

In a speech on the 4th of July 2010...President Obama stands at the convention of formerly retired, old, fat guys of the US military who want to be recalled.

The speech goes: “America, we must organize and help the lesser unfortunate of the retired, old, fat guys of the military to rejoin. They have been denied their opportunity in life. I am going to establish a new policy referred to as “don’t ask them, and they won’t tell”, which will help them rejoin the military. Key to this provision is a rule to forbid the military from asking the age or allowing weight to be a determinate from keeping them from serving our great nation. We can heal this problem...we can change....we can bring America to the light”.
