'Fat troops' fallout continues as some Texas Guardsmen sent home over fitness concerns

Way too funny. You had to jump into your time machine and time travel back 115 years to find another presidential hog.

Exactly like I said: Trump's blubber is an anomaly in the pantheon of presidents.

Plus it wouldn't be a big (hahaha see what I did there?) deal except for the fact that #TheLordOfMar-a-Lardo routinely mocks others for their appearance, weight, disabilities, etc.

I am a Libertarian Centrist.

The Democratic Party has gone so far to the extreme Left that it is no longer recognizable.

Everyone I know dislikes and fears them. They certainly would never vote for them. I belong to my wife's huge Hispanic American Family. I know Thousands of People.

Libertarianism is not a viable concept. The Democratic party has not gone 'extreme Left'. Most Republicans are either now MAGA, or fear MAGA, but there are still a few boilerplate Republicans who are embarrassed by the party.

Same for Democrats. The Squad is a tiny faction that ought to keep their mouths shut. Far more Democrats are centrist but have nobody on the other side of the aisle who will even speak with them. That began under Gingrich, and was magnified by the Teabag movement.

It is genetically modified food.

But it is also the stress of life under the Biden/Obama3 inflation, with illegals getting a free-lifestyle a National Guard member could never dream of, while trying to balance military fitness training, with getting an education at Woke Colleges, being threatened by Karens, BLM, an the Sharia College Committee.

It is very difficult to be patriotic, but still be there to change the diapers, work your civilian shift, cook dinner and repair the broken clutch on the beater your wife drives to work..

It is relatively easy to spend you free hours at the base gym, sleep in the barracks, and eat at the chow hall.

All the while, these guys are under constant threat of being accused, probably falsely, and making some wrong pronoun comment, and getting kicked out of service, which they love.

No, they are NOT fit for war. Give them a chance to correct that.

Things are difficult in America. Particularly for multiple deployment members.

Many commit suicide.

LMAO. What did you Teabaggers do when Obama implemented healthy school lunch standards?

OMG the massive meltdowns! The cartoons about Mrs. Obama growing watermelons in the Rose Garden. But they're not racist or anything. Even the pretend "teacher" here, who once incessantly bragged about how she gets up at 5 am to go collect stale bread from Panera's "to feed the hungry students" raged for months over the Obamas' healthy school lunches and "Let's Move" exercise campaigns.

The California National Guard has standards. The Texas National Guard has standards also, but they just ignore them. The standards are set by the federal government.

If someone in the California National Guard is too obese to be useful, they are retired from the national guard. If someone in the Texas National Guard is too obese to be useful, they are kept, so their health insurance can be subsidies by the federal government.

I'm not certain, but believe their health insurance is only covered when on active duty. I was in the Reserves, not the Guard, but that's how it worked with us.

Also, I'm not certain Abbott sent the finest Texas Guardsmen to Chicago for two months. I suspect they were volunteers, which means only those who needed the money because their day jobs sucked ass and were either single or in the middle of a divorce. In short, Abbott sent Chicago his NG Losers. Think of it as a few hundred people like @Stone, @Earl and @T. A. Gardner . :thup:

Ever since the Persian Gulf War, it has been well known that physical standards in red state National Guards are ignored. They are just trying to get free healthcare, and some extra dollars. The worst is that many times they are not fit enough to be deployed, BUT ARE STILL KEPT IN THE NATIONAL GUARD!!!

I have to agree with Hegseth on the military's obesity problems. The whole country needs a wake up call regarding this issue, not just enlisted folks.

Did Biden do a damn thing to end the epidemic of obesity in America?

According to you MAGATs, he did. You blamed him for the high cost of eggs and the pandemic-related inflationary jumps in the cost of other groceries, remember? Can't be fat if you can't afford food, right?

MAGAts are a silly bunch. Poorly educated, not very bright to begin with and many on JPP are elderly, demented old bigots who need to be put to sleep. Sad.
