Ensuring our ranks reflect and are inclusive of the American people is essential to the morale, cohesion, and readiness of the military.
It is the exact opposite. Americans are, by and large, very large. The military should be full of ripped freaks whose mere physical form makes lesser men shit their pants in terror. The weak men that dominate our current age shouldn't be represented, never mind the women.

And unfortunately, without a significant societal shift, that number will keep increasing unless the standards are continually lowered.
