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

Drugs for obesity?  It would seem there are some very serious recruiting and PT issues that need to be dealt with. :pondering:

You nailed it.  Seems like anything goes for todays military personnel.  Even though recruitments are down that's not a good reason to lower standards.  Its rare to see military people out in public and in uniform, guess there is no pride in serving anymore.

Yeah, I'm an old fart.  But I can still get into my dress blues at 76.

Eat less carbs, move more. The whole food pyramid thingy is bassackwards.
Humans, a hunters, ate far more meat than cereal grain or even tubers, at least until agriculture. More animal protein.

Seventeen Techniques for Truth Suppression

Of all tyrannies, a tyranny sincerely exercised for the good of its victims may be the most oppressive. It would be better to live under robber barons than under omnipotent moral busybodies. The robber baron's cruelty may sometimes sleep, his cupidity may at some point be satiated; but those who torment us for our own good will torment us without end for they do so with the approval of their own conscience.

Military training isn’t what it used to be. All they have to do is jump in the water now and some of them can’t even do that. Russia and China are going to eat these kids for breakfast unless something changes.

American military shouldn't be taking any obesity drugs. Get in shape through a proper diet and physical training. My gosh, it's almost like they want China to conquer us.
