Well, were going to need somebody to fight these endless wars. Er, I mean, combat operations.

Another reason to vote for Trump, to get the military under the right leadership. The biggest damage would be to destroy the espirit de corps of the America’s finest fighting forces.

Our adversaries are taking note. Crap like this only motivates them to attack us.

Obama has rifted all military leaders who wouldn't go along with his pansy ways with the troops. He has no dissent among the generals now.

See how totalitarianism and tyranny work? It starts with disarming the populace and woosifying the military. Then these Marxists can have their way with the country.

Sad day for America.

Yeah, more weight usually indicates more fat. I doubt these overweight Marines are pumping iron and just putting on muscle mass.

It does?

Why do you doubt that?

Call me slow, if you must - I started checking out his uniform and couldn’t find the globe and anchor. Duh...

Went to the mess sergeant on my knees...
I said hey mess sergeant will you feed me please...
Son, he said with a big wide grin...
If you want to be Airborne, you gotta be thin...

And, no, I don’t believe a majority of female Millennials in the Marines are pumping so much iron that they’re body weight is represented by muscle mass.

My evidence that in the old military before Barack HUSSEIN Obama destroyed it, fat bodies were kicked out.

Keep eatin’ Twinkies on your way to the Green Berets...

Were they? I was in the entire time during the W administration, and not only were fat bodies allowed to stay in, so were drug users and drunk drivers. We needed bodies badly, and it was nearly impossible to kick them out.

Frankly, aside from the re-invading a country we had already conquered thing, I'm not noticing much of a difference between the W years and the O years except it's easier to kick people out now.

Yeah, true, you have to go back farther into the now hardcore 80’s!

There was a Navy commander who was relieved last year for being too tough on his troops. One Millennial said the “Commander was so hardass, like from the 80’s.” LOL
