Stars and Stripes: Nearly 70% of US troops are overweight or obese, research report says
WASHINGTON — Almost seven out of every 10 U.S. troops are either overweight or obese, according to a new report, which also warns the growing trend could compromise military readiness and undermine national security.
The American Security Project, a Washington-based nonprofit organization that studies modern national security issues, conducted the study and found 68% of active-duty service members fall somewhere between overweight and obese on the body mass index, which is a long-used but controversial method of assessing a person’s body classification by height and weight.
A person between 25 and 30 on the BMI is considered clinically overweight and more than 30 is considered obese, according to the National Institutes of Health.

WNU Editor: 70% !?!?!?!?!? This is a staggering number.

That number is not realistic. The height and weight standard for the us military is totally bogus.
ReplyDeleteI was in for seven years from 2003-2009, armor and infantry, and I would say about 10-20% of our personnel couldn’t physically perform and always had doctors notes To modify their PT in the mornings. Non combat arms MOS’ were even worse, but not 70%. Even I was considered overweight despite earning a physical fitness excellence award the same morning. The Military uses a height to weight graph that can be inaccurate of one’s physical fitness so take the 70% thing with a grain of salt

6:30 Child Pred Fred Lapides/Anon Lapdog in a nutshell:
ReplyDelete"Trump needs to be executed!! Stolen nuclear codes and Russia Collusion!" "Comey said he has the truth bomb evidence any day now so just believe the alleged anonymous sources and the currently apparent facts and hang him! 4 indictments means 4 ham sandwiches ReeEeEeEeE!!!"
Also,
"There are no rampant and unprecedented failures in the Biden administration, even this hyperlinked vox article shows how Biden's Middle East Policy proves he has full and attentive cognitive control of his administration, and the Bigots raycisms (TM) Republicans are just full of conspiracy theories with their eyes and intact Cerebrum. Just look at how they cannot elect a speaker who wont cave to democrats! Just focus on that!"
Child Pred Fred Lapides is not a crackpot bootlicker partisan grifter.

ReplyDeleteSingle adults is almost twice that of families. Democrats always want to lead with "the children".
The children are less than 1/3rd of border crossers. So many adult military aged males. Not to worry, the president has a wall around his beach house and AGENTS to man it.

9:55,
ReplyDeleteWow. The fact you just said "there is no open border" along with all your other shitposting, just made you entirely illegitimate as someone worthy or capable of even talking to. Its not even a matter of defining "open border" to clarify things here.... you are just fucking out there guy. This is why I insist on only degrading and making fun of you for years now. I, and every other sentient person on here do not owe you a respectful or good faith conversation with all your delusional hackery. You are and long have been nothing more than the WNU comments section jester; a laughing stock grifting troll who is one step below the "you fools" 90's MS DOS era AI bot that comments on here as well sometimes.

ReplyDeleteah, poor Matthew. all he can do is empty is guts on free somebody get real, cracker.
ReplyDeleteMatthew: WHO STOLE AND HAD KEPT TOP SECRET DOCUMENTS? WHO IS NOW INDICTED FOR THAT?
ReplyDeletePS THERE ARE NO OPEN BORDERS. Anyone coming into the country through legal means comes through controlled borders. Ever come and gone to Mexico?
DHS needs to take care of 11:54/11:57.
ReplyDelete11:57,
ReplyDeleteJust because the few entry points have regulated migration, doesnt mean the other 99.9% of the border is not entirely open with millions of undocumented people pouring through every year; the most in history the past couple years alone.
No, its wide open you unbelievably stupid bastard; just like your skull cavity should be.
What Matthew Putnam said in his 1st paragraph is correct. I did not state it because 11:57 does not care about the truth.
ReplyDeleteYou can make logical arguments. You can state the truth and 11:57 does not care. So sooner or later DHS will get involved. You know what they say.
