Pentagon Study: 77 Percent of Military-Age Americans Too Fat, Mentally Ill for Service

According to a recent Pentagon study, the state of America’s youth is not conducive to military service.

Via American Military News:

    A Pentagon study revealed that 77 percent of young Americans do not qualify for military service without a waiver due to being overweight, drug use, or mental or physical problems.

    “When considering youth disqualified for one reason alone, the most prevalent disqualification rates are overweight (11 percent), drug and alcohol abuse (8 percent), and medical/physical health (7 percent),” the Pentagon’s 2020 Qualified Military Available Study of Americans between the ages of 17 and 24 read.

Where are the Public Health™ authorities? They crawl out of the woodwork to lecture Americans about mRNA injections when Pfizer profits are on the line, or when the state has a lockdown to sell.

If 77% of the youth population is mentally and/or physically unequipped (44% of that 77% being disqualified for multiple reasons) to serve in the armed forces, which should be a baseline bar to clear, it somehow is not marketed as a “public health emergency,” yet a virus with a 0.6% kill rate (taking the government’s inflated numbers at face value) is an excuse to shut down the entire society and economy for two years.

I'd like to see a breakdown of that "77%" in terms of ethnicity and location.

I wonder how many of them are in the blue states and cities, vis-a-vis in the red states?

I'm going to take a totally off-the-wall guess that the majority of "the unfit" are of non-Euro heritage, living in blue cities in blue states.

When "the breakup" comes, that's going to work in the red states' favor, because the "People's Republic of America" won't be able to muster enough men to equip an army that is capable of beating the red states...
