The Pentagon says only 23% of Gen Z is fit to serve. The rest are either obese, failing math, or already have a rap sheet.
Turns out if you gut schools and subsidize corn syrup long enough, you accidentally pacifist-proof the entire country.
Tactical genius.
@Strandjunker They can still get a job with DHS, though.

@Quasit @Strandjunker they recruit straight from the Group W bench

@Strandjunker The kids are allright*
*as long as they are not alt-right

@Strandjunker FYI, "obese"/"obesity" is a fatphobic slur, BMI is a pseudoscience, and fat people are not failed thin people who ate too much food. please do better.

77% unfit?
Sounds like my generation during the Viet Nam "not-a-war". But they were happy to draft us anyway.
97% unfit would be like the generation that's now in charge of the Government.
Thanks for the data on Gen Z. You've convinced me that they have a good chance to be the best of the best.

@Strandjunker meanwhile, they're culling trans service members, and women who serve are next.

well, if they can't join the military, they can probably pass the ICE recruitment requirements... SMDH...

@Strandjunker there’s also the part where getting digital medical records meant that lots of preexisting conditions that recruits could lie about then suddenly develop after training were getting caught up in filters.

@Strandjunker 23% are fit to serve or 23% of the ones that try to enlist are fit to serve?
A very big difference. The last 25 years have made military service an unattractive option for folks who have other choices
Edit - nvm I found it. Oof - looks like promoting terrible school lunches and no healthcare is actually impacting the population hard on this. I wonder if since it impacts the military so much it might cause some shifts in policy on the right? Probably not

@Strandjunker This insane obsession with math is so ill conceived. Numeracy is often enough.
@NicelyManifest @Strandjunker What an odd takeaway.
A basic understanding of math and geometry are required to even execute military tactics properly.
