Obesity is a National Security Issue: Lieutenant General Mark Hertling at TED. Does this video worry you?
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=sWN13pKVp9s. When I worked at Recruit Training Command San Diego in 1993, 30 percent of high school age kids were not qualified for military service. Now it's 70 percent.

This is the same guy as TRADOC commander dictated that training DFACs will no longer have soda, short order lines, or real bacon. When I went for my advanced course, we had turkey bacon and turkey sausage, all grain, healthy muffins with no taste, flavored water, no coffee, no cake/pie, no jelly/jam, etc.
After one week of that I drove down to the permanent party DFAC to eat.
Eventually, that was all reversed. Didnt know why but I am sure some IG complaints were made.
The solution is to kick out those that dont meet the standards, not to be their nanny. Now, lets move on to other MEPS for their stats. Just quoting that one location's stats is like saying that the average American is easily represented by San Diego...

This makes sense. So medical person told me here on rallypoint that with one third of the u.s. population being obese, medical bills are skyrocketing due to the diabetes and other related diseases caused by this situation of the population becoming overweight. Some of it could be genetic. Some of it could be unavoidable if you're someone like from Qatar , Tonga or Western Samoa. Some people can't digest breads because that wasn't part of their original diet. So he can listen to get off the PlayStation do exercise. Others need to stop drinking beer. It is a big factor in the future.
