The US Army is in a pickle right now. Their recruitment numbers are crashing in part due to how “woke” they’ve become, and also because America is getting fatter by the minute. As it stands now, many of the men trying to sign up for the military are obese and couldn’t pass a physical fitness test if you dangled a donut over their head.

So, while the left continues to push this “fat is beautiful” and “fat acceptance” nonsense, the US Army is growing more and more desperate to fill those bunks. But those bunks can’t support GI Joe when he’s 100 pounds over weight. In hindsight, maybe offering free donuts and pizza to coax people into getting a vaccine wasn’t such a great idea after all?

Now, the Army is acting like Richard Simmons and getting into the “fat camp” business for their tubby recruits, in hopes of sliming them down in time for World War 3. One has to wonder: is “Jazzercise” now the seventh branch of the US military?

Granted, this is the first time the U.S. has found itself in an obesity crisis of this magnitude, but this isn’t the first time our military has had to come up with an “fat plan.” There was a “project” to actually draft and accept obese recruits during the Vietnam War. The project was known off the record as “McNamara’s Morons.” However, it was more officially known as “Project 100,000.”

Here’s how it worked: The U.S. Government, under the laughable guise of helping the poor, recruited men who were both physically and mentally unfit to serve. And they placed many of those poor men in highly dangerous combat positions.

Unsurprisingly, “Project 100,000” soldiers were around three times more likely to be killed in action. Most of these men were not able to qualify for technical training that might keep them off the battle field. So, a large number of those so-called “morons” were used as infantry soldiers on the front lines. Many believe they were “sacrificial shields” for other soldiers who the military deemed more useful to their cause.

Those poor men didn’t stand a chance.

Big Think:

Cruelly nicknamed McNamara’s Morons, Project 100,000 was an initiative started under—you guessed it—secretary of Defense Robert McNamara during the Vietnam War. In this project, over 320,000 men were either drafted or volunteered for service, nearly all of whom failed the Armed Forces Qualification Test, which is used to determine basic eligibility for military service.

Project 100,000 inductees placed in the lower 10th to 30th percentiles of the test, referred to as Category IV. Normally, candidates who place in Category IV are deemed unsuitable for military service and are told to return to civilian life. Project 100,000, however, was an experiment to see whether military entry requirements could be lowered.

Ostensibly, the project’s goals were to combat poverty. Lyndon B. Johnson had recently begun his War on Poverty program. Thanks to the G.I. bill and other veterans’ programs, military service can be a great way to get out of poverty. But this was a nice bonus to the project’s other purpose: The Vietnam War needed more men, and lowering recruitment standards was one way to get them.
Although about half were volunteers, the other half was drafted, and neither group had any business being in a war zone.

The Armed Forces Qualification Test evaluated a variety of domains, all of which were geared toward assessing somebody’s eligibility for service. As a result, Project 100,000 brought men to the war who were ill-equipped in different ways.

Some had physical impairments, some were over- or under-weight, and, most troublingly, many had low mental aptitude—often to the point of being mentally handicapped. Many were illiterate. Since this was an experiment, a small cadre of soldiers were also admitted under the program to act as controls: these were “normal” soldiers.

This video on obese soldiers in war was rather enlightening and has some interesting takes on how overweight and out of shape men have been used in the military throughout time.

So, as it stands now, the Army is creating what they call a “Prep Camp” for obese recruits. They can call it whatever they want, but at the end of the day it’s a “fat camp.”

Daily Caller:

The Army announced plans Tuesday to establish a “prep course” for potential recruits who fall below the Army’s minimum academic requirements and exceed weight and body fat percentage caps amidst a historic recruiting crisis.

Created in response to a “precipitous” decline in the number of young recruits who meet the Army’s enlistment requirements, the 90-day Future Soldier Preparatory Course pilot program, which begins in August, will help prospective service members lose weight and improve their academic performance, the Army said in a statement.

Only 23% of young Americans are eligible to enlist based on weight and educational metrics, according to the Army.
“This course is one of many approaches the Army is taking to invest in America’s young people,” Gen. Paul E. Funk II, commanding general of Training and Doctrine Command, said in the statement. “We have to acknowledge that society has changed and help our youth improve so they can benefit from the training and opportunities that Army service provides.”

Clearly, there’s a critical health and over-eating problem in the United States. We have over-emotional and emasculated men who are now eating to soothe their feelings — and this is already how a lot of women deal with their emotions. This is not the mentality nor physique-type you want plopped next to you in the foxhole, to put it lightly.

Let’s hope the army also addresses those emotional issues during “fat camp” and toughens up these men so they’re mentally and physically strong and completely in-tune with their masculinity and proud of it, to boot.

Men, after all, aren’t supposed to eat their feelings… they eat their enemies for lunch.
