Fuck yes.

This can only be a good thing. Testosterone yes, subversive communist traitors no.

Speaking of fat subversive communist traitors...Ah, looks like Vindman is retired. That's good overall, but would have been hilarious to see him squirm.

I wonder if a communist judge has any jurisdiction to interfere in the military

Ooooh, ooooh, oooooh!

Guys, guys, guys!

Can...can we institute fitness standards for all elected and bureaucratic positions, too?! Imagine how many problems that would unironically solve.

Communist judge makes a ruling. "Nope. You're fat, disregarded. Also, you're fired."

Do it for the witnesses too. Like islam with women. A fattie needs 2 fit people to vouch for their story.

yes they call it height and weight, but it's BMI measure,

if you're fat on the scale, you get your height checked and they do some chart math and if you fail that you get tape measured, and they do more math, if you fail that, you may get scheduled for a water displacement test.

All that when a pair of human eyeballs would suffice.

My opinion: if you look a little fat, and can go, I wouldn't give a shit. But if you're fat-fat but still can go, you need to lose weight because some male soldier may have to carry your wounded ass, so don't be that guy.

Additional unpopular opinion, if a general is good at his job, think Subutai, then I don't give a shit if he can't pass a PT test or height and weight. But it is 2025, and we aint got Subutai we got DEI fatbutai and baby, it's time to trim the fat!

Personally, I think this should only apply if he was able to pass, and as such was provably capable and experienced at what he is now trying to lead.

A dude in his 50s+ can lead incredibly well despite being well past his physical prime, even if he tried to maintain it. But if he never had that prime to begin with, that's just a loser that no one should be asked to respect or listen to. Even if he is a master of all the mental parts of the job, you still need to be able to prove you are the man for the job, in a way even meatheads can understand.

The military has a min and max height, apparently being 58 to 80 inches, with some small variation.

I imagine it's so you can actually fit in standardized equipment sizes?

Honestly, the height requirement seems like a weird thing to even highlight, since I imagine 99.9% of the fitness non-quals will be weight related. I don't think we have any midgets or sasquatches with flag ranks.

You just can't put Shaq in the cockpit of an F-16 or have Andre the Giant in a submarine.

This will get rid of SO MANY traitorous and ideologues in the military just by requiring them to be fit.

Pretty hilarious to see people complain about having to stay in shape. Even if it's not necessary to do your job, it at the very least improves your quality of life and helps keep you from being a burden on the healthcare system.

Part of the on going effort to get the military more White, male, and right-wing

That should be its default state, but I'm cynical enough at this stage of the game that I'm suspicious of the pivot.

The pivot is because shit started getting real after 10/7.

Could be good. Might be bad. If a bunch of generals retire in response to this we're going to get even more woke indoctrinated officers moving up the ranks.

Hegseth is going to be spending the next three years weeding them out. Hopefully that's enough time to make a difference.

The most exercise a Washington general gets in a day is walking to the limo or the helicopter after getting off a private jet.

Yes it feels good to see some semblance of rational government policy taking hold in our military, but TBH, I’d much rather see policy that’s totally inclusive of fat retarded homosexual leftists, so decent young White men DO NOT want to join the military, why do I say that? You have to keep in mind, this is not our military and it doesn’t serve our interests, it’s still controlled by Talmudic demons who despise White men and want nothing more than to eradicate us from the earth, and they can accomplish a good portion of the eradication through WW3 if they want. Don’t be their useful idiots, if anyone has to die to help Israel, or to help j’ws wipe out Whites throughout the western world in a World War, let it be their useful idiot leftists who end up dying en masse. We have to stop pretending we got our government back simply because Trump is in office….we didn’t get anything back, demonic j’ws still run the show, and when those demons push for their digital ID, which they absolutely will, we need as many young White men at home as possible so we stand some reasonable chance of thwarting their plans to enslave us.

As in to enforce a max bmi or a minimum height as well? former is reasonable, latter is brutal to manlets on the edge of minimum requirements who make it to officer and end up degrading past the minimum.

A minor complaint but still relevant, Why only BMI rather than the navy body fat calculation that takes into account frame width as well? No reason someone built like a pencil should be allowed to be fat just because he's tall and has narrow hips and shoulders.

I'm curious if there will be any provisions for generals that might have permanent physical disabilities born literally from service. Being a great military mind is not limited to physical prowess. Overall, this is a positive, but I've never been a fan of discarding valuable assets along with those that bring us down.
