Study: Most Young Americans Aren't Fit For Military Service

Health, Education, Criminal Record Are Main Disqualifiers, According To Heritage Foundation

Among President Donald Trump's priorities since taking office has been a push to bolster the U.S. military with increased funding and recruitment. But how many young American adults are fit to serve?

According to a new report from the Heritage Foundation, not many.  The conservative-leaning think tank calculates 71 percent of Americans ages 17 to 24 aren’t eligible for service in the armed forces, even if they want to join.

"It really makes it hard to get the right number of people for our military," said Tom Spoehr, director of the Heritage Foundation’s Center for National Defense and a retired Army lieutenant general.

Spoehr, who co-authored the report, said ineligibility generally falls in three categories: health problems, lack of education, and criminal records.

Would you be willing to fight and die for multiculturalism?  Would you put your life on the line for “Diversity, Inclusion, and Equity” (DIE); “Environmental, Social, and corporate Governance” (ESG); or other Marxist worldviews?  Would you go to war to preserve the right of delusional men to use women’s restrooms and dominate women’s sports?  Would you fight for any government that hunts down and imprisons J6 protesters as political hostages but celebrates Antifa and Black Lives Matter rioters who cause physical injury and property damage?

It seems a modern, woke military would allow the troops to be whatever kinds of junkies they want. :doa:

Fat, lazy and stupid - not to mention high - is not exactly beneficial to our national defense.
