Posted by Face it, the USA has become the fattest country on the Earth and apparently that is now causing trouble for the military. How?
“What we were finding was that the soldiers we’re getting in today’s Army are not in as good shape as they used to be,” said Lt. Gen. Mark Hertling, who oversees basic training for the Army. “This is not just an Army issue. This is a national issue.”
Yep, all those Happy Meals and super sized fat burgers etc have turned Americans into super chubs to such a degree that they can’t do basic push ups. Before I go on, yes I can do push ups. The problem has gotten so bad that the military is actually considering removing the push up from basic training. Think about that for a moment. We are so fat that we can’t do a simple push up – and we are expected to go to war? To charge that hill? To take that bunker?
Bring on the remote controlled combat battle droids – at least they don’t need to do push ups – but I bet they can.
if we fight for the right to eat a Big Mac – we should be able to enjoy it too!
If some little weak-armed, limp prick complained about not being able to formally complete two consecutive push-ups and then walked around like Ranger Joe meets John Wayne in front of his girlfriend — I’d disembowel his flabby pussy ass with a ball-point pen, yank his guts out, bite into his entrails, and then flash a crap and blood-smeared smile at his woman.
