Was the same also the case back in 1870-1871? Because in that war, the Germans did manage to conquer Paris, albeit without them also simultaneously having to fight on a second front.
Nowhere near that extent.

This source has been shared around with similar jargon. What it means is standards are lowered to give recruits who failed another chance.Well, I read about the "slimming down" regime in a fanfic, so that's not a very reliable source ...

It goes back to Vietnam. Do you think the all the people who got drafted were all slim and trim. No many had to slim down in bootcamp.I thought the fat thing has been around for ages? Since the 90s? I.e. too fat candidates are put on a bread&water and exercise regime until they pass?
Dunno about the academic dudes, though.
