Pentagon Pete Fires ‘Fat’ Soldiers as War on Weight Rages

Ooh, ooh...do the Commander in Chief next. He's the fattest one of all.

The recruiting crisis in the US military is pretty bad.

The funniest example is 24M$ the national guard spent in 2012 on recruiting at nascar. This generated 24,800 prospective recruits. ~$1000 per interested recruit. Not bad. Of those, 20 were eligible to join. 99.92% unfit for service. Of those 20, all declined to join. There's no evidence that the 88M$ spent on nascar between 2011-2013 generated a single recruit.

This is part of why the exclusion of trans folks, women and others from the military is such an own goal for the fascists. Any potential recruiting pool that's closed hastens the decline of our imperial supremacy.

'Fat' soldiers are fired. Meanwhile, ICE is expanding their already burgeoning Meal Team Six battalions.

Pentagon Pete is a ridiculous and unnecessary nickname.

Secretary Shitface, please.

If you can’t kickflip a skateboard into your dick, consider yourself dismissed.

There goes the cyber security division.

If he wouldn’t swipe right on his Grindr you’re gone

Tired of all these unfuckable troops in my military. I demand everyone have an ass I can bounce a quarter off of.

#No-Homo

Do the drunks next!

Rude of Pete to expect soldiers to stay lean without the ozempic and cocaine he uses to stay trim.

I honestly hope Nazis continue to fuck with military personnel. These are volunteers trained to shoot a rifle and they're supposedly willing to kill or be killed to defend our freedoms.

For the love of god please open up multiple fronts in the war on America.

His nickname is Twinky Pete. He likes his twinks.

If you're working maintenance, then you absolutely want a 300 pound guy on the other of a lever while you're working on a suspension.

He reminds me so much of this guy

Are these the guys that we see on the memes mocking right wing soldiers?

He should fire his fat head of his. Fatty

May he experience sudden hypothyroidism.

Like honestly I think struggling with his weight is something he is less capable of handling than even prison

Easy Pete: You won't get any TNT unless you know what side of it to torch.

Pentagon Pete: Well you look like a pro, but what about that belly?

"war on weight" is absolutely brilliant.

Being fat doesn't reduce a leader's ability to manage logistics, define tactics and strategy, build confidence in leadership or use technology. This focus on physical capabilities while we watch drones and robots take over modern warfare is insane. This incompetence will remove highly skilled soldiers and replace them with those less capable of modern warfare, and likely less capable of using new technologies. The people who are removed will go somewhere and bring the value of that skillset with them, empowering someone or something other than the US military. This administration's obsession with loyalty and obedience over competence and independent thinking will weaken America and create opportunities for adversaries to exploit.

Reverting to the values of a former age is a death sentence for the future. The world has changed and if America refuses to keep up with those changes, it will only hasten the fall.

so those guys in the photos made the cut...
