Default Would-Be Soldiers Too Fat to Serve, Military Has Had to Turn Away48,000 Overweight Recruits Since 2005

Amanda Turcotte wants to be all that she can be, but she's 25 pounds over
the Army's weight limit.
Her recruiter is sweating her down to regulation size with a grueling
daily exercise regimen.
"If you need to puke there's a garbage can right there," Army recruiter
Sgt. Jessica La Pointe told Turcotte during a recent workout at an
Annapolis high school. "That's fine. You can come back and finish up."


And all that the Army's even LOOKING at her proves is that the regime
got defeated in Iraq (and Afghanistan)! Average woman in America is
5'3" tall - meaning any woman 25 lbs. overweight is 20-25%
overweight! Yet the Army is even considering her - because they are
so desperate for troops for Iraq.
