“OBESITY” A NATIONAL SECURITY THREAT?

Hi Michael,
I suppose you refer to the fact that more and more younger people are overweight and de-conditioned and therefore would not be able to meet the requirements to join the military. This is the only context in which I have heard this mentioned. Since the United States has an all-volunteer army, nobody is forced to serve and the entry requirements are well-known, I am not sure that I would go along with that statement.
