Four star generals Paul Silva and Thomas Waldhauser as well as Major General Allen Bachette have come out and said that Americans are far too obese and that the US military can no longer find qualified candidates to become soldiers in any branch of the US Military

4-star General Waldhauser says that over 60% of applicants are immediately rejected due to obesity

"Young applicants between the ages of 18 and 21 are no longer able to do even 10 push-ups or 10 sit ups or even run a quarter of a mile in basic training. I have been in this business for 25 years and I have not ever seen this level of decay."
