Late-stage empire weakened by rising predominance of physically inactive loafers

Poster Comment:

That and the clot shots and the transgender hormone shots reduces our combat effectiveness. I don't think Hezbollah is worried.

There's a growing internal threat to US national security: 68% of American service members are either obese or overweight. "Rapid and sustained recurrence of obesity across all services, ranks, and positions now poses a dire threat, especially for at-risk populations and those in critical combat roles," writes the American Security Project (ASP) a DC think tank, in a new 25-page report on the problem. Perhaps most alarming is the slope of the trendline: The proportion of obese members in the ranks has more than doubled in the last decade, from 10.4% in 2012 to 21.6% in 2022.

obese members in the ranks

When I was in High School, one kid was so fat they called him "the plug". When he was in the boys room, one of the guys knocked him into the partition around the toilet stall and it broke. :-/
