A recent statistic has shown that 60% of active US Troops are FAT or OBESE as the startling new data is showing a dire situation as american soldiers are turning into hippos and are struggling to recruit able young and fit service members!!

The figures emerged from a study of 18,000 troops in the Army, Navy, Coastal Guard, Air Force and Marines.

In EVERY branch, more than 60% of them were fatties based on their Body Mass Index and the figure is the HIGHEST where 69.4% met the threshold.

It also shows that they are not getting enough sleep as 9% have to take sleep medications.

All of these recruits were at least 20 years old and it remains to be seen if their conditon was down to the fact that they are younger and belong to the LESS ATTRACTIVE generation of recruits and the military is now having to pluck from.

It had to lower its recruitment target goals and a Marine Commandment policy complained that fewer than 30% of today's youth are qualified to enlist.

1/3 have to use a dietary supplement and binge drinkers as 35% were guilty of hazardous drinking..

Like everywhere else, the popularity of E-Cigarette smoking is on the rise and 35% of troops are using it.

They are struggling to find good recruits and it's not just down to a small pool available but the fact that there are more jobs going around for young people. Only in poor economic times is the military a safe option for hobos but not anymore.

A growing economy comes from more competition and the army is losing it to them

On the positive side, younger people are getting SMARTER as a result

Percentage of Fatties:

Army: 69.4%

Coast Guard: 69.4%

Navy: 64.6%

Air Force: 63.1%

Marine Corps: 60.9%

Would you have a problem with fat soldiers protecting your country?
