To Fat to Fight?

A great article posted [HERE] on wired.

The just of it is...

"The National Research Council found that if the military had an enlistment standard of a 25 BMI [body mass index - the threshold for being medically overweight] , it could disqualify as many as 40 percent of young women... and 25 percent of young men."

Before all you Europeans start gathering your snottiness juices for some sort of comment, know that you are gaining on us. Pretty soon the entire western world will be a bunch of lardo's unless our societies change.
