More soldiers cut for being overweight

There's a lesson to be learned here. Useful idiots will be used until they are no longer useful, then tossed onto the shit heap like garbage.

Don't be a useful idiot.

After Desert Storm, I got back to Germany and intentionally gained weight... drank as much beer as I could. Ate a lot of sweets, because fuck the Army. Closest thing to communism that America has to offer its citizens.

The company CO came up to me and said, "You don't care much for the Army, do you?"

After the war, I'd been pulling a Maxwell Klinger, walking around the barrack wearing a long white Saudi robe, sandals, and a chicken hat.

"What gave you that impression Ken?"

"I'll make you a deal. You pass your next APFT and I'll sign your early-out papers for the convenience of the DoD..."

"That's a deal Ken!"

never seen so many uniformed fatties as when the US navy had r&r in sydney.

lots were not just overweight, they were homer simpson huge.


obviously there isn't a fitness test for them.
