According to a recent Pentagon study, the state of America’s youth is not conducive to military service.
A Pentagon study revealed that 77 percent of young Americans do not qualify for military service without a waiver due to being overweight, drug use, or mental or physical problems.
“When considering youth disqualified for one reason alone, the most prevalent disqualification rates are overweight (11 percent), drug and alcohol abuse (8 percent), and medical/physical health (7 percent),” the Pentagon’s 2020 Qualified Military Available Study of Americans between the ages of 17 and 24 read.
Where are the Public Health™ authorities? They crawl out of the woodwork to lecture Americans about mRNA injections when Pfizer profits are on the line, or when the state has a lockdown to sell.
If 77% of the youth population is mentally and/or physically unequipped (44% of that 77% being disqualified for multiple reasons) to serve in the armed forces, which should be a baseline bar to clear, it somehow is not marketed as a “public health emergency,” yet a virus with a 0.6% kill rate (taking the government’s inflated numbers at face value) is an excuse to shut down the entire society and economy for two years.
Continuing:
Several key findings were noted in the summary of the report. For example, most ineligible youth (44 percent) are disqualified for multiple reasons rather than in only one area.
Among those ineligible for only one reason, being overweight was the highest disqualification, at 11 percent. Drug use (8 percent), medical/physical only (7 percent) and mental health only (4 percent) were the other leading categories found in the study.
Lots of people trash Gen Z, and not without reason. They are self-entitled, nihilistic, mentally and physically weak, despondent, and mentally ill.

Yes, the DOD “too fat” cover story to hide the WOKE effect on recruiting. Sadly, a lot of gullible freepers are buying it.
2 million illegals cross the southern border every year. Surely they can find 50K or so to join the army(?)
Even better for the deep state, they have no idea about the Constitution, zero clue about American traditions, and would be happy to shoot Americans on command.
But thinking you need to cut off your d+ck is still OK to join!
They destroyed their potential manpower base with the death jab
Cut SNAP funding.
I can imagine today just about anything goes in my old department.
Fixed it.
“yet a virus with a 0.6% kill rate (taking the government’s inflated numbers at face value)“
The overwhelming majority of those were killed by the protocol. Stay home with zero treatment. All therapies were hidden and restricted and forbidden. Then when you are so sick you make the fatal mistake of going to a hospital, they put up on a daisy chain of ventilators, Knock you unconscious and pump you full of remdesivir and fluids. Your kidneys stop and the fluid backs into your lungs and they are shocked when you die of pneumonia. There alone, with no advocate and unable to make any decisions.
Bastards all! It was mass euthanasia.
They may be crazy fat guys and girls but they are experts in CRT and wokey..............

Only 11% are “too fat”. What are the problems with the other 77 - 11 = 66%?
They can’t meet recruiting goals, but it ISN’T because of fat! Boot camp can slim a person down very fast. Besides, on the military bases I’ve been on, a lot of pretty chunky monkeys were IN uniform!
No, the problem lies elsewhere. Maybe it is from normal guys and gals not wanting to shower with freaks?
“I can already guess their solution to this problem -— LOWER THE STANDARDS FOR RECRUITMENT.”
*************
This would be another reason to discourage able and intelligent people from joining. Who wants to serve with the dregs of society?
Maybe, but it is true that most military-age folks are way to out of shape. I would say though, even in the late 1930s, when we were just starting to ramp up our military, people expressed similar concerns about the shape of military age people. Although as you can imagine, it's even much worse now, than it was then.
Oh yeah, the “too fat” is CYA. It’s obvious Capt Obvious.
No, you are wrong again. Recruits are all of a sudden TOO FAT? The recruits that are showing up now do not include the best and the brightest teenagers. Those want nothing to do with the WOKE agenda.
25-year old with a HS diploma and some college just received a $40K sign on bonus.
It doesn't say only 11% are too fat, it says that only 11% fail ONLY because they are too fat. 44% fail for multiple reasons (combination of fat, crazy, druggie, potentially all three).
This is all cover for the real problem, no one wants to join. So 25% of the population IS eligible, but they are not interested... that is the real problem, and they are not interested because of the wokeness!
But they are referring to if they had to reinstitute the draft, and what most likely they would get.
