Army's Fat Recruit Problem
The U.S. Army has rejected 48,000 would-be recruits since 2005 for being over the weight limit. What do you think?
Greg Haines,
Systems Analyst
"The Army rejected me, but that was because I was too husky."
Trina Svanoe,
Glass Joiner
"My God, that means we have 48,000 people in this country who are ridiculously overweight."
Dan Karmiol,
Day Care Provider
"So let's summarize my incentives for losing weight: I'll be hungry all the time, I'll be tired all the time, and I'll qualify for Army service."
