Young to fat to fight

In this generation the ammount of child obesity has raised greatly. So much that there has even been an issue to weather or not these kids can fight for out country. More than a quarter of young adults cannot meet the physical requirements to join the military. This is resulting in a national security threat. Ex-military leaders say that this needs to change and that it is a wake up call for America.

I agree with what this passage states. Kids now a days are so much unhealthier and obese that they don't have a chance to make it into the military. Im not saying this will happen, but the way i see it if people dont change now America may not have enough soldiers to fight and it may result in another draft and i don't think that thats what we want. It is indeed a wake up call for America maybe because of this people will start to realize how unhealthy America really is.
