Then there's this observation from Christopher Duffy, in The Military Experience in the Age of Reason: On a personal note, I've done medical coverage on several Winter Indoc courses, and the folks who had the greatest difficulty seemed to be more gym rat than "regular guy". Granted that is...

Maybe Hegseth should focus on his own troops first: Nearly 70% of US troops are overweight or obese, research report says Trends in the Prevalence of Obesity Among U.S. Active Component Service Members and Civilians, 2013–2023 In fairness, our statistics are similar, but that does not negate...
