Military US Military Is Scared Americans Won't Fight For Globalism

[Zachowon]

68% of US troops are obese or overweight, study finds
68% of US troops are already obese.

yeah, sure, the BMI is not the be all end all, muscle mass makes it look higher, but still it looks like obesity is costing the us military billions.

The later article I can't comment on bit makes sense on the Healthcare cost wise.

The former though? BMI is a scam for people who don't work out to feel healthy.
Everyone I know with a get exceptions that can max the deadlift, power throw, and even push-ups, are fucking beasts and are considered obese.

Going off BMI is stupid because of the way the Army wants soldiers to be destroys that limit and same with Marines.
They are probably the reason it is 68%

 

[Agent23]

By spherical airborne, do you know thier ACFT?
Because if you get a 540 or above, with at least 80 in every category. You get exempted from height weight standards.

I only know the Army, I can't comment on the rest

Yeah,BMI is a crap measure, as I mentioned, but that does not explain why you have to pay a billion and more per year for obesity related alements in a group thet should be the peak of physical performance.
And you would think that the researchers in the military would take the problems of BMI into account when writing such studies.

Because of injuries people get that cause them to get on profile and not needing to adjust to that, as well as the fact that for things like the Navy, a more stagnant lifestyle happens.
For the Army, we have taken that into account, with the 540 or higher woth 80 in at least every category thing.
Allowing you to no longer be held to the stupid height weight restrictions of the US Army.

Basically, you can't be over 200 pounds unless you are tall as hell, and so that counts as being obese and you have to get taped

I understand where you are coming from and sort of agree with you, but this all still sounds pretty sus.

What parts sounds sus?

Well, the report exists and people who have written it should know how BMI works, so while I agree with you on it in general I don't think there it is purely muscle there.

And I have met plenty of larger people since I have been in the army, so you arnt wrong.
But I feel like sometimes these are used as gotchas

As I said, sus.

Nah in this case I think Zach is right. All this BMI and other nonsense was not done historically pre 1940s they probably had fitness tests. But even now many of the fitness tests are there just to pad numbers do we really need our soldiers to do 60 crunches in a minute? How is that applicable to their job?
I understand if there were too many applicants and we wanted a smaller army take the best. But if you are struggling to get people in as long as the person is able to walk without keeling over let them in and just have sgts whip ‘‘em into shape.

The Army doesn't do situps or crunches anymore.
We do deadlift, applicable
Standing power throw, applicable
Hand release push ups, applicable
Spring drag carry, applicable
Plank, not applicable
2 mile run, applicable

In serious combat, fitness is important. Strength, too.

When you have to carry and use 20+ kilos of gear, and might have to run and dive for an extended time? When your fitness could well be the line between life and death?

The simple fact is, if you're not fit when you get in, you're not likely to be able to get fit enough.

People don't change much, usually.

Carrying a pack that is hedvier than you are and a gun and walking 20 km a day though rough terrain is not something the military is logically called to do in a war?

Yeah, you could add a paid pre-training program, if the trainee does not measure up then there shouldn't be a "discharge".
Merely a "sorry, trial period is over, didn't work out" just like with most other jobs.

 

[Zachowon]

I mean there is....
It's called fail two record PT tests and you get chaptered out

 

[DarthOne]

You tax dollars and military at work ladies and gentlemen

 

[Zachowon]

I mean, do you know how much the US spends per soldier just through basic and AIT?
75k.
The amount of money a few soldiers use to get transitional surgery is less then that of single mothers getting free money from leftist cities and the fed.

But yes, blame the military...

If the military has the extra funds for that they clearly have too much. wonder what else can be cut while we look at it.

That single mother might produce a kid that is fit for military service, even if it is via a judge saying it is the Barracks or the Slammer.

Meanwhile the military is spending money to take someone of dubious quality to begin with and make him less capable and more prone to suicide/dangerous behavior ther might fuck over the whole unit.

Apples and rotten oranges my dude.

Yeah statistically speaking if someone in your squad Commits suicide it tends to have a very large impact on the suicidality of the other members even after they get out of the army. rather dangerous and actively harms our capabilities.

Suicide nothing, I have no problem with the Trannies removing themselves from society and the gene pool.

The problem is:
a) Sunken costs.
b) The troon might decide to do it the blaze of glory way, taking out people and equipment with him.
c) Yeah, demoralization too, and having a nutjob in your squad is probably demoralizing even if it does not do what over 40% of them do.

As I understand it, transition surgery was removed from TRICARE coverage under the latest defense spending bill. So this guy would have had to have had this done at least a couple of months ago.
