Army Overwhelmed By Fat Recruits

by Sara K. Smith  4:55 pm January 12, 2009

Ha, remember this guy? So fat.All of the fit youngsters in America have already been sent off to War, so the only people left on the home front are pre-teens, very old people, and the obese. Various military/first responder spokespeople in this tragic AP article blame an epidemic of fat volunteers on “a lack of physical education in the high schools” and “a hard time understanding a healthy diet and the importance of daily exercise.” Jesus, you know we are doomed when fucking Army recruiters sound like a pack of sissypants liberals. You also know we are doomed when the Army has literally run out of non-obese people to recruit. [AP]

All Yanks would be svelte if they worked as hard as SKS.

Pardon me, but I must rub my nose. There seems to be something brown on it.

Trace January 12, 2009 at 4:59 pm

Making them wear yellow uniforms will be the easy part. Convincing our enemies to dress up as blue ghosts will be a tougher sell, but it will be SO worth it.

BillyClubb January 12, 2009 at 4:59 pm

You also know we are doomed when the Army has literally run out of non-obese people to recruit.

What, is it necessary to recruit more saps to fight wars for oil?

So this is how the Republic ends. Not with a bang, but a Twinkie.

Serolf Divad January 12, 2009 at 5:00 pm

Everyone knows they’re fat because they don’t know Jesus. When you let Jesus into your heart all your problems are solved. Just look at Mike Huckabee: he let Jesus into his heart and lost, like, 280 lbs or something.

Lascauxcaveman January 12, 2009 at 5:06 pm

Well if you’re trying to find a group that meets all the criteria:

1) Within recruitment age
2) Non-obese
3) Stupid enough to enlist

Then, yeah, it’s bound to be a pretty small group.

I’m betting the DIs are itching to use Sgt Hartman lines from Full Metal Jacket on these guys:

“Were you born a fat, slimy, scumbag puke piece o’ shit, Private FILL-IN-THE_BLANK, or did you have to work on it?”

“Oh that’s right, Private FILL-IN-THE_BLANK, don’t make any fucking effort to get to the top of the fucking obstacle. If God would have wanted you up there he would have miracled your ass up there by now, wouldn’t he?”

Don’t worry, kids — you only have to be healthy through boot camp. After that, when you go to Iraq they’ll feed you all the sausage biscuits, greasy pizza and waffles you can stuff in your face. So after you’re healthy enough to get in, you’ll be able to eat like you’re in a high school cafeteria in Omaha.

Stephen Colbert had the answer to this problem and the immigration problem last year. Capture these lean, hungry, aggressive Mexicans as the come across the border, and tell them they have two choices. Go back home, or join the army, and if they survive four years in Afghanistan and/or Iraq, they get to be citizens. What’s not to like?

I think that about ten percent of the population is openly gay, and probably about ten percent of that(maybe, but probably less as they are most likely smarter than the rest of us) would actually want to join the military. So, though I do believe it should be repealed, I really don’t see how getting rid of don’t ask don’t tell will help. Fuck it. Lets just kill off those nasty fat genes and start over without all the diabetes. Also.

I also read in Harper’s (better read ‘em while you can) that 11 of the 16 southern states have obesity rates of 24% or above. You know how many other states of the remaining 34 are in that shape?

Our boys are just big boned. Besides, the Army has an excellent diet plan called Basic Training. I saw some guys drop about 40 pounds in basic and got way too skinny myself. (Hey, if being fat could have kept us out of the draft, Dunkin’ Donuts would have been bigger than Microsoft.) You had to be about 400 pounds before they’d even consider it. Sounds like the recruiters have gotten even more whiney over the years, if in fact “whiney” were a word.
