Re: Pentagon lifting ban on American female troops in combat MOS

[(Anonymous)]

Um, yes you can.

You really need to look up what it means to be physically fit. It is literally impossible to be both fat and physically fit. Being fat is an issue not because of appearance but because it impairs health and physical fitness.

Yeah, like those unfit weight lifters and sumo wrestlers.

Yeah you should look up some facts.

Your examples are aberrations and still don't prove your point. Sumo wrestlers couldn't physically perform the necessary tasks and exercises to perform in the US military, including physical fitness tests. As for weight lifters, they're as much a grab bag as the rest of the population; some could do it and some couldn't. Being able to perform a limited set of competitive physical tasks that have no application outside of those competitions is not the same as physical fitness. Even being able to perform the exercises to standard in the military is not a guarantee that a person is physically fit; being overweight affects a person's health (heart, muscles, kidneys, eyes, etc). If you are so dense that you require sources, ask any medical doctor.

I gave you sources but you ignored them. Oh well.

First links okay I guess but a "fat activist" and "weight diversity speaker" isn't a scientist or a doctor.

You can be metabolically healthy but fat, yes. But there's a big difference between healthy and physically able to perform military tasks.

I'm fat and pretty healthy according to my doctor. It isn't as if I can't walk up long flights of steps. I even took a crossfit class last semester. But I can't pass an Army physical fitness test.

Did you go to one of those schools where they don't teach health and nutrition because parents complained that it was fat shaming? Or did you just not go to school?

My understanding of the measurements involved as an aspect of PT standards (on top of being able to do a set number of certain exercises within a certain period of time) is that there's a "if your neck is this width around than your waist must be between this and this" etc, but since I'm only related to/married to service members and not in myself I frankly can't remember the requirements off the top of my head.

Also, what's considered 'fit' in the civilian world is probably not the same as it in within the military. I'm sure people can carry extra weight and still run/lift/kick my ass/whatever in the civilian world perfectly well, but that doesn't mean they would be qualified for X, Y and Z in the service. (On the other side of that, my brother is just shy of being too tall to be a pilot (to his great relief) because cockpits are built a certain size and they just can't safely accommodate someone 6' 5" and above.)
