Pete Hegseth stunned as report reveals the staggering number of overweight troops: 'Fit not fat'
Story by Stephen M. Lepore For Dailymail.Com • 8h

Pete Hegseth called a report that claimed two-thirds of reserve troops are overweight 'unacceptable' and promised to create change to make them 'fit not fat.'

The American Security Project said that 68 percent of America's reserves are out of shape and demanded new policies to remedy the issue, saying it could cause problems should they be deployed.
 
'With the diminished size of the [active-duty] force and increasing demands on the National Guard and reserves, service members separated due to obesity and its comorbidities are vital personnel the Armed Forces cannot afford to lose,' the report states.

Defense Secretary Hegseth - who has often posted videos and photos of himself working out with troops - was furious about the numbers in a post to social media.

The unity of government which constitutes you one people is also now dear to you. It is justly so, for it is a main pillar in the edifice of your real independence, the support of your tranquility at home, your peace abroad; of your safety; of your prosperity; of that very liberty which you so highly prize. But as it is easy to foresee that, from different causes and from different quarters, much pains will be taken, many artifices employed to weaken in your minds the conviction of this truth.  George Washington - Farewell Address

FIT NOT FAT!  Isn't that fat shaming?  He can't do that!  Some judge will order physical fitness stopped because of the shaming! :whistle:

Every person overweight should have 120 days to get their act where it belongs or be drummed out of the service.  Just no excuse for the lack of fitness.

And there should be a ton of 2, 3, 4 star generals with large numbers of men under their command out of shape that should have their service ended.  They are not worthy to wear the uniform.  There are no excuses.
