She thinks the military is a dead weight anyway. Can we just look at this chick and come to the conclusion that she should keep her trap shut on weight? Has the world gone mad?
Many people tend to focus on miscellaneous stuff when they have nothing better to do.
I guess this would be one way for them to start downsizing our
military! Start weighing them and boot them out without weight loss!!!!
WTF? When I was in, it was very simple. You flunk your weight on the physical, they boot your ass out the door. How hard is that?
I think we are all living in a rabbit hole NOW,!!!!!
Is it too much to ask for us to just launch her fat ass off to the Moon?
So horrible for a First Lady to take on the cause of being the national ‘Fat Nazi’. Why do First Ladies need a cause anyway? Can’t they just be the President’s wife and be done with it?
This from “All this to fold a flag...first time I’m proud of my country” Meeshell. Like she cares about our country and military. I know from my dad being in the military and what he said, anytime he started getting a little portly, they got onto him about it and he did something about it. . They don’t need some America hating, affirmative action First Lady running her trap about it. And when did this First Lady and their causes business first occur in our history. I don’t like it. I didn’t like it with Nancy Reagan, and I don’t like it now. It’s just feel-good photo-op stuff that wastes taxpayer money and doesn’t do any good. If Todd Palin or whomever had become the first gentleman, I would expect him to keep a low profile too.
“program intended to combat weight gain among members of the military.”
Ha! I will give odds on one military member against 10 of her!
Yes...we’ve all fallen down the rabbit hole.
She thinks their butts aren't big enough or high enough and they wear their belts much too low.
I’d like to see Moochelle run a Marine Corps PFT. Thats as many situps as you can do in two minutes (80 gets you the max points), pullups (20 gets you the max points) and a three mile run (18 minutes gets you the max points). I’ll bet 99% of the Marine Corps would be getting better scores than her. Moochelle couldn’t last a week in a Marine Corps infantry platoon. One 20 mile hike in full pack, helmet and flack jacket and she’d be done. Don’t preach to the ones in on their physical fitness Mooch...
I have to admit that her “Let’s Move!” initiative is working because everytime I see her face I feel a “movement” coming on.
I can’t lose weight, I live in a food desert. /S
The military had a lose weight or out policy before I retired 30 years ago.
Shelly is like Mayor Bloomberg. They both want to control every aspect of every one else’s life. Yet, they don’t want to live the same way.
“Michelle the Moocher” should STFU, the military has already addressed this issue a long time ago.
All servicemen are ‘government issue’ (GI’s) and according to guidelines if they do anything to damage their bodies they can face court martial for damaging government property.
When my hubby was in the Military (60’s)- he gained weight - military weight/muscle weight - and was 190lbs at 5’10”...by today’s standards he would be ‘overweight’(27.3).
By today’s standards he’d have to lose 20 lbs and be 170lbs - he’d have to lose 20 lbs of muscle.(wasn’t much fat to lose)
The last thing we need is a bunch of skinny runts in the military. Fat is one thing, but it isn’t differentiated - they go by weight.
