Speaking of healthy foods or health in general

Almost 80 percent of military aged young men do not qualify for the military

The US needs to concentrate on the health of their own instead of transgender boys in sports, junk food and mass vaccinations.

The military won’t have enough healthy young men and it’s a big concern.

military officials and defense studies show a major concern that roughly 77% of young Americans aged 17 to 24 do not qualify for military service without a waiver. [1]
Key Causes of Ineligibility

  • Obesity and Weight: About 11% to over 33% of young adults exceed military weight limits, and weight issues contribute to nearly half of multi-reason disqualifications. [1, 2]

  • Physical Inactivity: Many young adults who meet weight standards lack the baseline physical fitness needed for basic training. [1]

  • Mental Health and Substance Abuse: Mental health conditions, prescription medication use (such as for ADHD), and drug or alcohol abuse account for a large share of disqualifications. [1, 2, 3]

  • Academic Aptitude: Some applicants fail to meet minimum high school diploma, GED, or standardized academic testing benchmarks. [1, 2]

Impact on Defense

  • Recruiting Shortfalls: Branches like the U.S. Army have faced persistent challenges meeting their annual recruitment targets.
