  • Pentagon: A Third of U.S. Youth Too Fat, Sickly to Serve in the Military, Most of the Rest Are Too Dumb or Have Used Too Many Drugs

    Thursday, Nov 5th, 2009

    Oh well, they’re not too fat and sickly to go to private prisons. And this is sure to result in much more funding for the terminator robots. Good news all around for the criminals who run the show.

    Via: USA Today:

    More than a third of American youth of military age are unfit for service, mainly because they are too fat or sickly, the Army Times reports, quoting the latest Pentagon figures.

    Most of the rest are too dumb or have used too many drugs to qualify, the study shows.

    The report says 35% of the 31 million Americans aged 17 to 24 are unqualified because of physical and medical issues.

    “The major component of this is obesity,” Curt Gilroy, the Pentagon’s director of accessions, tells the Times. “We have an obesity crisis in the country. There’s no question about it.”

    He also said young people, by and large, can’t do push-ups.

    “And they can’t do pull-ups,” Gilroy says. ” And they can’t run.”

    The Times says the Pentagon gets its data from the Centers for Disease Control, which has found that the percentage of youth 18 to 34 who are considered obese has jumped from 6% in 1987 to 23% now.

    Here’s the Pentagon’s breakdown of the ineligible population, according to the Times:

    * Medical/physical problems, 35%.
    * Illegal drug use, 18%.
    * Mental Category V (the lowest 10% of the population), 9%.
    * Too many dependents under age 18, 6%.
    * Criminal record, 5%.

    Update at 1:06 p.m. ET: The Times reports that Education Secretary Arne Duncan and a group of retired military officers will issue a report on Thursday warning that the situation is so dire it amounts to a threat to national security.

    That study will show that when all factors are considered, 75% of military-age youth are not eligible to serve.

      So in other words, let’s take the ones that are healthy enough inject them with poisonous toxins and send them off to fight in a war based on a false flag event. Then while their on their illegal mission, contaminate them and the countryside with depleted uranium.
      The Pentagon should ask themselves who they are fighting for. These wars are against the interest of the American people. We, the citizens are forced to pay for war’s that benefit a nefarious bunch of shady characters most of us can’t identify.
      They have spent us into the poor house. Each day our country becomes weaker because of these war’s. I think it’s all an intentional plan to destroy us, while enriching themselves.

      BeTrueSeekTruth Reply:

      Very good post. When the healthy ones come back with depression, cancer, and a host of other ailments they are essentially used up at age 30 and on the fast track to a drawn death from alcoholism, drug abuse and toxic overload from the host of pharmaceuticals foisted upon them to combat the diseases they aquired while serving the interests of the illuminati who plan to rob them and their families of their property, liberty, and happiness.

They don’t talk about it on TV if they don’t plan on doing it in the future.

      Exactly! Plan A make other peoples children retarded with bad vaccines. Save a life! By allowing the elites to destroy your kids brain , your over competitive children might destroy lives of the elites. Save the lives of the elites, destroy your kids! Vaccines save the liFestyles of the lazy, corrupted, powerful.

      Plan B Flouridate the water. This causes brain dammage and destroyes the thyroid. A low functiong thyroid mimics mental illness. Kids with low functiong thyroids are more likely to self medicate.

      Plan C. Put soy beans and soy bean oil in everything especially public school lunches. Soybean oil destroys the thyroid and ,makes people fat. Cattle are fed soy beans in order to fatten them up.

      Plan D.Take advantage of children who due to thyroid problems are muddy thinkers by setting them up to commit crimes or just arrest them on trumped up charges.

      When all else fails draft or force other people’s children into the military where they can die in bogus wars.

      Yupers!!! Exactly. IF “pubic ejucaton” hasn’t dumbed you down enough, perhaps enough “vaccinations” will!! Hey, win-win!!! Either way, you’ll be dying by 30.
      P.S., MY great-Grandfater lived to be 98. His son lived to be 78. I probably won’t see 60. (But- some of that was my fault-stupid accident!!)

    2. Concerned Citizen Says:

      We are in trouble. We have lost most of our manufacturing base and are technically, in terms of debt, a very poor nation. We no longer have the financial or industrial base that helped enable us to win World War II. It looks like we also no longer have a pool of citizens to draw on either. Thank you for this article. It is another wake call that we are losing our ability to be an independent Republic. “Have mercy upon me, O LORD; for I am weak: O LORD, heal me; for my bones are vexed.” (Psalms 6:2) It sounds like we are a sick nation in need of Divine Healing.

      Steve Williams Reply:

      Or maybe just in need of using the brains we were born with. Finally, just for the git and shiggles of it.

      Except for the poor kids who have been poisoned into autism. It’s too late for them.

      This does not bode well for the “fat is beautiful” crowd. What is going to happen to all of the classified ads posted by BBW’s?

      JohnB Reply:

      Don’t you also find it ironic that most of the BBW’s are upset that the fit, healthy people don’t find them attractive, but when asked about the guys that they are attracted to they describe fit, healthy people? They want a mate that loves them for who they ate, I mean who they are, but then want to marry Vin Diesel.

      I served in the 80s in a special forces unit. I was a poor kid but smart. I was skinny but ultra-fit: a veiny muscle machine. I used to push myself hard because all the middle class kids thought I was scum because my family were poor. I used to be driven by guilt for my ‘weakness’, and so I did more push-ups, ran farther and faster, more street fighting skills.

      To read this, to read about the children of my peers, and what sad sacks of shit they are and then think about how their dads used to look down on me. It has brought me to one conclusion: we need a draft. And as those kids are rounded up to go to Parris Island, I will just laugh and laugh and laugh.

      Mr. Williams, I totally agree. Make EVERYONE EARN their Franchise!!! NOT this “obamao year” crap, but real boot camp. Make them soldiers. Teach them to shoot, and THAT meand discipline. Make them learn the Constitution, and what it means.

      “means discipline”, F!’in keyboard!! F! General Goddamics, also.

      ahteele Reply:

      I can’t see why you would laugh. Poor kids like you were not spared the crap that ruined middle class kids. Poor kids will not escape a draft either. Many middle class parents such as lawyers ,teachers, and professors do have the connections to avoid or delay the drafting of their kids. Many of those people’s children will graduate from college before they fulfill their duties to the country. You will probably be laughing at future officers. Which is fine, but genocide does not seem humorous to me. The people who plan on benefitting from a draft hate you way more than the middle class kids ever did.

      Which is why their kids will never be drafted. It is also why a draft will always be political suicide.

    5. Midnight Tocher Says:

      How about a top-down approach to reviewing the problem:
      - 99.9% of the other parents I know are too feeble minded to lead their family, let alone be responsible citizens.

      - Our education system has been broken by the government (some would say intentionally) leaving our children with no guidance/education. The ‘no child left behind’ fantasy is to blame for this failure.

      - Th government could care less about it’s citizenry, and instead elects themselves to be proponents of a greedy (ignorant) and corrupt (without morals) culture.

      The interesting thing about the problems of today, is that they could all be solved if the lazed and ignorant people of this country (the US) would lead……. after all, “if the people will lead then the leaders will follow”.

      Take to the streets with your family, friends and neighbors and demand change, then make it happen. Freedom wasn’t built overnight, but it sure can disappear overnight.

    6. scrybe Says:

      “What if there was a war, and nobody came because they were all too stupid or too fat?”

      Also, this presents a future crisis in the health care system as these youth grow up and probably won’t change their lifestyles.

      I don’t usually look on the bright side of things but nature has a way of reminding us who really is in charge. The reason I say this is as follows.

      While sitting on my front door steps I watch a single weed growing through the concrete and an other weed breaking through the asphalt and I start to smile that a tiny little weed has no idea that we put a concrete drive path and asphalt because weeds are not allowed to grow there.Weeds don’t care they grow and no matter what laws are put or how much monsantos hates weeds they still grow.

      Thats how I view this NEW World Order a new driveway being paved but mankind like a weed no matter how much they try to kill us we will not comply to death and the determination of old rich men and their forms of control.

      In the end we will grow through the NWO and it will fall apart and most of us will die by then but it will happen.

      Their job is to control and our job is to defy their control. Its so simple and yet we have trouble following the rules they put up that says you must die.

      I love humanity and their blatantly defiant of the new rule order .

      The Pentagon is populated by geriatric buffoons with megalomaniac delusions. All the old foolish satanic human sacrificing degenerates are always looking for are people who will die for them in service of their Luciferian orgasms. Anyone who joins the Military is retarded and is a closet homicidal freak .The only reason they are not in hospital is because they have been sanctioned by the ‘law’ to kill with the permission of devils. The sad fact is most, if not all the brained damaged disposable hero’s of hypocrisy end up been abandoned with broken lives,limbs, severe maiming by the very same animals that enticed them into their evil work. Yup! let the kids be fat, and unfit, lazy or dumb.Leave them alone.Use your own children and family for your devil worshipping wars and global murders.

      75 PERCENT???

      If that’s true, all of those mad moms and dads can forget about fighting against the so-called Public Education’s efforts to indoctrinate their kids. Rather, I can see the government getting much more involved if it is deemed a national security issue.

      GoToServiceLearning.org offers free and field-tested service-learning lesson
      plans

      WASHINGTON, Nov. 5 /PRNewswire-USNewswire/ — Youth Service America,
      America’s Promise Alliance, and State Farm(R) Companies Foundation today
      unveiled an important new resource for teachers seeking to learn how to
      incorporate service-learning into their lessons. GoToServiceLearning.org is
      an interactive Web site housing a database of quality service-learning lesson
      plans from across the country, all tied to state academic standards.

      In a year in which the need for volunteer service and civic engagement has
      received increased attention, the ability to offer all students an
      opportunity to combine academics and service as a way to improve their
      communities has never been more important. GoToServiceLearning.org makes this
      possibility a reality.

      Service-learning is an effective teaching and learning strategy combining
      meaningful service to the community with classroom content. At
      GoToServiceLearning.org, teachers can search service-learning lesson plans
      across the K-12 spectrum using parameters such as academic content,
      service-learning themes, and grade level.

      Renowned service-learning expert and consultant Cathryn Berger Kaye, who
      served as primary advisor to the site’s development, explains the key purpose
      of this new resource: “This easy-to-use Web site invites teachers to learn
      from the experiences of their peers and then to upload their own
      service-learning success stories.”

      Educators and politicians alike have found another vital reason to consider
      service-learning as an imperative for our classrooms: skyrocketing high
      school dropout rates. Recent research from interviews with high school
      dropouts showed that more than 80% of the students believed that making real
      world connections in school would have improved their chance for success.

      GoToServiceLearning.org officially launched today at the National Middle
      School Association Annual Conference in Indianapolis, Indiana. Kaye, along
      with Steve Culbertson, YSA president and CEO, and Susan Abravanel, YSA vice
      president of education, unveiled the Web site at the conference and promoted
      the importance of engaging middle school youth through service-learning as a
      way to increase relevance for all students and also the graduation rate.

      “This new resource represents an important addition to the service-learning
      field,” said Abravanel. “GoToServiceLearning.org will provide the teacher new
      to service-learning with models of exemplary practice. It’s about recognizing
      classroom success and sharing that success with colleagues. It’s about
      teachers supporting one another in creating real connections between
      community and classroom.”

      To find service-learning lesson plans or to upload your own, visit

      Youth Service America (YSA) improves communities by increasing the number
      and the diversity of young people, ages 5-25, serving in substantive roles.

      a lifetime of service, learning, leadership, and achievement. The impact of
      YSA’s work through service and service-learning is measured in student
      achievement, workplace readiness, and healthy communities.

      dedicated to improving the lives of children and youth. Through the
      collective power of our partner network, we raise awareness, support

      Chairman General Colin Powell, the Alliance believes the success of our young
      people is grounded in the Five Promises–caring adults; safe places; a

      Can you say illegal Mexicans? I knew you could. We happily opened our southern gate to the flood of Mexicans infiltrating our country and now you see the results in the overall population. Mexicans are basically fat. Especially the women, the baby machines. They don’t really have muscle tone, ever see a Mexican bodybuilder? No, only a Mexican fat body pushing a taco cart. I was in the Marines and can tell you this, about 90% of Mexicans I see would never even make it through bootcamp. First they won’t pass the hieght wieght chart. Then if they can’t do pull ups they wouldn’t even make it on the bus to boot camp. And how many rocket scientist have been named Pancho Gonzalez? Do I make my point. Hey, you dumb asses wanted an open border, now pay the price.

      ahteele Reply:

      How could you have been in the Marines and not known Mexican Marines? I am not a Mexican, nor I am a marine. Yet, I have known Hispanic Marines. The Mexicans love the Marine Corps. There are also Mexican body builders.

      You are describing Hypothyroidism. Most of the cheap Mexican food has soy oil in it. Hypothyroidism does lead to obesity. In the worst cases hypothyroidism causes premature births. Hypothyroidism =population control. Hypothyroidism is easily treated but many doctors seem to be in the dark about it. As bad as it is many of those suffering from it are surviving.

      Evidently, you do not know many rocket scientists ,either if you assume you would like them ,or they would like you.

      I also never supported open borders ,but not because I don’t like Mexicans. I don’t like people taking advantage of undocumented workers. Some people have been known to call immigration on Mexicans they did not wish to pay.

      My dream is to have enough power to totally destroy the military industrial complex around the entire world, completely annihilate all governments and banks world-wide, reduce to rubble every major urban center in the world, removing also the foundations of afore mentioned institutions and terminating all who worked or are or want to work for or in these organizations, and finally to destroy all satellites circling the earth and destroy all secret tunnelings and underground chambers of control of the government and military(Colorado, Montauk, etc.)and also teleport all existing oil stores back into the earth where they belong, natural gas and anything else they drill and pump up to the surface for unnatural use and refinement(gold, platinum, diamonds, etc.)… Oh yea, and to completely destroy all information and existing power(refineries, nuclear plants, dams) and travelling grids across the entire planet. Teleporting all existing weaponry more advanced than a sword, or bow into the deepest stellar void, at least a billion light years from here. Basically taking away the toys and gadgets which have got us nowhere fast and all the people involved in creating them or interested in continuing the present technology/military/consumer/government/finance belief system-paradigm. Then we could try again; because of a few dirty old white men, indeed if they are of still purely human stock, who, and whose ancestors and decendents have and want to continue the bullshit story that is human history thus far, what they allow us to know and think thus far. I forgot religion, another institution(except perhaps for the Tibetan Monks) which must be obliterated and its foundations removed across the entire planet. Each individual has the same opportunity to send thought or speach energy to the GREAT ALL as he or she wills, or not. And also to receive insight and knowledge back from GREAT ALL. All must be destroyed so we can start over; Without money, government, or technology. Humans have latent powers which can be recalled to use in time with practice, which would negate the need of money, government , and technology as we have come to know it today. Back to the stone age, come on, lets go crazy and destroy everything and relearn what it is to be a human being on this wonderful planet with our brethren species harmoniously!
