Too fat to fight! Four star general says Americans are too obese or criminal to join the armed forces and defend the country: Enlistment is at its lowest since after the Vietnam War
2022-09-07
[Daily Mail, where America gets its news]
  • An Army general warns that young Americans are either too fat or criminal to join the armed services, as recruitment numbers run to historic lows

  • Lt. Gen Xavier Brunson said young people are unqualified to enlist due to obesity or pre-existing medical conditions

  • Only 23 percent of people of age to serve are physically eligible to enroll

  • The Army won't meet its 2022 recruitment goal of 485,000 - falling short by a staggering 20,000 recruits

  • Smaller recruitment numbers come after the Army announced all soldiers must receive the COVID-19 vaccine
