If by threat to national security she means that fatties can’t get into the military, she is stating the obvious. Allow me to point out that in general the military isn’t a magnet for blacks either. My son’s basic training class in 2006 had 1 black kid of the 200 soldiers. Go into anything that takes grit and there were zero in his Ranger battalion at any rank or level. Guess striving to achieve is just too much to expect of them. Racist? Nope, just observant.

I read a report the other day that stated that 75% of american utes are unable to pass the entrance physical for the military. Now, I don’t know about that, but I do know that when I tested a bunch of national guard infantrymen a huge chunk of them were unable to do more than a few pushups or situps. These were young guys, and they weren’t fat, per se, they were weak and out of shape. I told them that they were dead men walking if they didn’t get their rears in gear.

You noticed that too? Very few blacks are tankers but the higher ranked enlisted who supervise are almost all black. They don’t have a clue what the troops are doing but they keep screaming. Army Times stated 2 yrs ago that over 50% (maybe more) of the top rank Sgt Majors were black and only 15% of the Army was black. Said that it could lead to charges of reverse discrimination. Lot of good that article did.
