[QUOTE=Gummylamb;21475519]Do you know 10 people that are obviously obese?
Didn't think so[/QUOTE]
I know 12.
[QUOTE=Gummylamb;21473848]Has anyone here been to Disneyland? Did you see the supposed "1 in 3 people are obese"? I didn't, probably 1 in 20, and when I'm walking around or something, It certainly isn't "1 in 3" people are obese.[/QUOTE]
That's because fat people generally aren't the ones out walking, involving themselves in physical activity. That's why they're fat! ;)

But then why does anyone care about them if they don't do shit?

Productivity.

Because they could be helping out society later on in life rather than absorbing the sofa with their assholes.
It wouldn't surprise me if these kids probably play MW2 for hours on end among other things and like to think of themselves as military and weapons experts.
Then they realize the truth.
Meh, I think generally the ones who tend to be more likely to go into the military probably won't be grossly overweight. Even if they got some pounds I'd imagine they work some of it off during training.
"AMERICA IS SCREWED! kids too fat to serve in the military"
good, maybe the world can enjoy some peace now. i got tired of running from one war to the other with the glory of god and some nation i don't live in or care about at stake.
Seriously though, this was only a matter of time, people are becoming blobs from the west to the east. i sure hope they don't blobify me.

If your tired of running from one war to another then maybe you shouldn't have joined the army?
God Bless America, where its 65,6% of the population are overweight.
Well, there's still skinny, poor people who usally lives in the Ghetto, I have heard that they usally sign up for military duty.

Overweight ≠ Obese
Overweight is where you have an extra 10 or 20 pounds on you.
Obese is where you're a fucking whale.
[QUOTE=SilverSliver;21473064]Get the fuck off the bandwagon folks. Most of the kids in America aren't fat fucks. Just the ones who have shitty ass parents who don't understand a fucking thing about parenting. THOSE are the kids that are the fat ones.[/QUOTE]
Well.
Everyone in America are a bad parent then.
Why does America always think that it's on the verge of being attacked and that 'national security is at stake'?
[QUOTE=Arachnidus;21473870]Amen. I really don't know or see many obese people. And besides, there's a reason we have boot camp.[/QUOTE]
Boot camp isn't there to get fat kids in shape, its there to teach them combat skills and discipline.

More than likely it's either fake or he's in fit, being fat does not mean you're unfit, but most of the time it means you are.

corruption and the government taking the 9/11 attacks all the way to the bank and back.
I have a solution to this. Instead of having basic training be a set amount of time, allow people to stay in it until they are able to pass. (Up to a reasonable amount of time, of course.) If this wouldn't work due to budget restrictions, implement some kind of pre-basic training that the applicant pays for themselves.
[QUOTE=mysteryman;21473319]America Sucks.
I'm not trolling either, being born and raised here i've learned that. Recently it's been reinforced due to my school getting some exchange students from Germany and France. Same age, all sophomores, and they even blow a good amount of our seniors away knowledge wise.
Thankfully not every American is like this- just a vast majority. But i will admit, i see mostly fat people where i live, but i don't see constant OBESE people, i just see a lot of chubbies.[/QUOTE]
Maybe only the smartest people got picked to do the foreign exchange? Don't think everyone in Europe is super amazing.
There's a lot wrong with America, but it's not as bad as you're making it out to be.
Dump them in a tank, fill it to the top with twinkies and drop them in iraq.
Fucking megaton bomb right there.

Your high school is probably one of the majority that sucks.
Seems more like they got served by food.
[QUOTE=Musicfreak59;21472830]Didn't the military already have to add another week of BT (Basic Training) because they knew about this already?
I'd like to know Big Dumb American's opinion about this.[/QUOTE]
The extra week was for IED training (i.e. detection, safe procedure, etc.).
I'm 204, and well within the safe weight for the military. So yeah, not a problem for me.
The problem is the parents who feed their kids that shit. It's good in moderation, but not when it's more commonplace than a homemade meal.
[QUOTE=AlienFanatic;21473051]I am not that fat
but I do weigh like 160 lbs[/QUOTE]
depending on your age and hight you're pretty small (or very very fat)
I'm to Diabetic to be in the Military

I'm tall, so it's dispersed.
I'm fat, but I'm not a lazy slob. I regularly play sports, and exercise.
I'm stronger and faster than most people I know, who are very athletically built too.
