Not that Dear Leader really cares about armed forces readiness or capabilities, or the health and fitness of our children, or how dangerous to world peace is his constant saber rattling is, but this headline could upset his dark worldview if it somehow made it into his daily cartoon scribble:
Too fat to fight: Colorado nonprofit says military threatened by childhood obesity
Even the kids in America's fittest state (who knew?-ed.) are too fat to fight their nation's wars, a pro-military nonprofit argues in a new study.
The military has long bemoaned America's tubby youth, and the Council for a Strong America says Colorado is part of the problem, with more than 27 percent of the state's children categorized as overweight.
"Low levels of physical activity and the obesity epidemic are contributing to an unprecedented readiness problem for our armed forces," the nonprofit said.
I won’t vouch for the non-profit in question. They surely do profit from the stoopid amounts of Air Force bases, Armed Forts, the NORAD installation, defense contractor drone, satellite and other work, and the new cybersecurity center planned for our area.
But they might just want to have a fit armed force if we ever do go to war, which is looking more likely every day Republican National Leaders sit on their hands as Trumps throws grenades into our diplomacy.
If he knew our future soldiers are looking to be too fat to fight, would it change his tone?
