She was successfully treated for anorexia as a teenager, but after boot camp, she began to binge eat and became bulimic.

So she was already mentally unstable before she joined the military and she's the best example they could come up with for the article?

No. Our best are now in the skilled trades as well as the army of white males passed for promotion who are reporting to minority/women managers.

She

Found the problem.

Why is there a woman in boot camp?

Not just already mentally unstable at that, but trading one eating disorder for another related one.

It’s not exactly a secret that militaries have certain requirements for physical fitness that have to be met. There was even a TED talk about obesity in the US being a risk to the military. If you’ve already had an eating disorder you should know the risk.
