WASHINGTON -- A group of senior retired military leaders say one in
four of all potential recruits is turned away because they're
overweight, presenting a threat to national security. And they're
pushing for federal rules restricting what can be sold in school
vending machines to reverse what they view as an alarming trend.

The group of retired admirals, generals and other senior military
leaders, called Mission Readiness, will hold a press conference here
on Sept. 25 to release a new report called "Still Too Fat To Fight,"
which follows up on a study warning of the problem two years ago.

The report reinforces recent recommendations by the Institute of
Medicine, which call for making the school environment a focal point
for addressing the nation's obesity crisis. Claiming that many
children get as much as half their daily calories at school, "Still
Too Fat To Fight" focuses on the need to remove so-called "junk" foods
from schools and urges the federal government to update decades-old
standards for foods sold in school vending machines, à la carte lines
and snack bars.

They shouldn't. Basic training will take the wait off. That is the
military's problem. You have to look pretty in uniform before they
think you have potential.

And they're
pushing for federal rules restricting what can be sold in school
vending machines to reverse what they view as an alarming trend.

And students are bring food from home because they don't want to eat
like rabbits.

They are only too fat to fight because they say so. A young fat person
has plenty of stamina, even if they don't know it. Think how good they
will feel when they go through basic and slim down...

Some people don't know a gift when they see. If the nannies think
there is an obesity epidemic, they can fix it that way.

Lady Veteran's (Bobbi Sanchez) outlook on the dire matter of obesity
among the military. Obviously, she believes that a force composed of
troops so bloated with fat that they would be unable to walk even one
mile would be a satisfactory fighting force.
