Way back in '92 I was almost kicked out of the USAF under an identical purge. It didn't matter that I was the second fastest runner in my squadron's fitness-run for four years, running rings around all the smokers and the guy who drank a pot of coffee before each run only to end up vomiting in a ditch; nor did it matter that those with one more stripe on their sleeve could still be the fattest, laziest fucks imaginable. They needed to reduce troop numbers, and that meant airmen, not sergeants, and their "standard" was literally a simplified cartoon illustration of a man in uniform with an hourglass figure that I could never match.

If my contract wasn't due to run out two days after the arbitrary deadline, I would have been bounced with a "Less Than Honorable" Discharge. THEY STILL TRIED. Fortunately for me, the new OIC took charge about a week before, and when he looked over my paperwork and saw I was getting out anyway, he tore my sarge a new asshole for wasting his time trying to fuck someone over just to be a dick.

It's not about pride or readiness. It's all arrogance and ignorance, and cutting corners.

Figures.

Been fragged yet? His actions has put troops in danger. He’s replaced competent leaders with suck ups and has quashed the promotions of deserving officers. He has no honor. He should be gone, permanently.

I wonder how long the fucker would last.

The heck with that. The chin-jutting, peacock-strutting asswipe should get a dull Ka-Bar.

So.....maybe some role modeling would help?

But yes, the military always has had fitness requirements and programs to help troops with managing their health, this is not a new concept. Just because they want them to be robots it doesn't mean mother nature will stop taking her time on our bodies.

and yes, how about the alcoholics? There are many servicemen and women who are struggling with that amongst many other things , self-inflicted or not.

He's micro-managing beards and beer-bellies while the Iran war is a total trainwreck. Soooo sick of this freak show of an administration.

Like Kegbreath. And what's his fitness ratio?

…followed by a Breathalyzer, then the greasy poseur can worry about his manly men doing many things in manly ways.

Anyone want to estimate what Cheetolini’s is?

... and treats women like shit.

I've met guys like that.
