    WASHINGTON -- A group of senior retired military leaders say one in
    four of all potential recruits is turned away because they're
    overweight, presenting a threat to national security. And they're
    pushing for federal rules restricting what can be sold in school
    vending machines to reverse what they view as an alarming trend.

    The group of retired admirals, generals and other senior military
    leaders, called Mission Readiness, will hold a press conference here
    on Sept. 25 to release a new report called "Still Too Fat To Fight,"
    which follows up on a study warning of the problem two years ago.

    The report reinforces recent recommendations by the Institute of
    Medicine, which call for making the school environment a focal point
    for addressing the nation's obesity crisis. Claiming that many
    children get as much as half their daily calories at school, "Still
    Too Fat To Fight" focuses on the need to remove so-called "junk" foods
    from schools and urges the federal government to update decades-old
    standards for foods sold in school vending machines, à la carte lines
    and snack bars.

    They shouldn't. Basic training will take the wait off. That is the
    military's problem. You have to look pretty in uniform before they
    think you have potential.

    And students are bring food from home because they don't want to eat

    They are only too fat to fight because they say so. A young fat person
    has plenty of stamina, even if they don't know it. Think how good they
    will feel when they go through basic and slim down...

    Some people don't know a gift when they see. If the nannies think
    there is an obesity epidemic, they can fix it that way.

    Lady Veteran's (Bobbi Sanchez) outlook on the dire matter of obesity
    among the military. Obviously, she believes that a force composed of
    troops so bloated with fat that they would be unable to walk even one
    mile would be a satisfactory fighting force.
