Trump once again insults our military: Meet his criteria of fitness or get lost.

[Rawley]

The Pentagon is selecting U.S. soldiers to make an appearance in uniform at an Ultimate Fighting Championship match at the White House within weeks, but service members must meet a waist-to-height ratio and pay their own way to Washington, DC, according to news reports and a screenshot shared to social media.…

But only service members who are not overweight and fit certain height and weight requirements can attend, according to a screenshot of a Pentagon memo shared to a military Facebook group and a person familiar with the matter.

Around 1,200 active-duty service members will attend the Ultimate Fighting Championship match at the White House.

Whatever you think of Trump’s grotesque UFC show at the White House, what a slap in the face to all military personnel who have enlisted to fight for this nation to be told they are not welcome at a White House event because they do meet Trump’s criteria of fitness.

So a soldier can risk his life for one of Trump’s idiotic War but they’re not invited to a WH event.

What a joke it is that it is this fat Orange slob who is determining who is fit or not.

LOL Your trigger point is getting lower and lower

 

[Matted Joybeard]

No, YOU get a grip.
Why should anybody in the military be fat and out of shape anyway???

You don't need to be in shape to sit in a gamer chair and press the missile launch button for the joystick driven drone.

 

[theHawk]

It's just another form of discrimination. Are you sure you are OK with it?

Yes the military discriminates against unfit people. It always has. No one has “the right” to be fat and out of shape in the military.

Basic training itself is meant to weed out weaklings too.

True enough.
But the military should (and does) have some physical requirements. Discipline is part of the military mission as well it should be.

You cant be serious

 

[Mac-7]

LOL of course the military is going to pick the best to represent them at a public event? Why on earth would they pick fat bodies? Those not meeting standards face disciplinary actions and shouldn’t be rewarded. This has always been the case.

Unlike you I served in the military so I know how it’s always been.


This is the real world, not your little socialist fake utopia where everyone encourages each other to just “accept who you are” and never give corrective actions, and when your feelings are hurt pull out a “timeout card”.

Imagine some fat DEI female waddling across the battlefield to engage the enemy

We might as well start learning farsi or chinese now

Now Trump is discriminating against "DEI" people in the military

Do you still honor your oath to the Constitution or do you now swear fealty to the great white nationalist hope currently in the Oval Office?

If you really served, why not invite those wounded and maimed in Trump's war? At least those capable of attending the event?

Wow. You really hate the US military, don'tch Mac?
DEI is white nationalist code for: Negro.

The military has fitness standards plus there's no need for the "negro" woman you hate so much to be on the battlefield when she's more likely to be flying a Reaper overhead or working fire-control aboard a destroyer.

 

[Couchpotato]

That is not the point. The point is Trump will permit only some soldiers and not others. If these soldiers are fit enough to risk their friggin lives to defend this nation, they deserve to be invited to be included in all events honoring soldiers.

I’m sure they just aren’t giving tickets to military members who are out of standards which is typical and not a decision the President would be involved in. Do you idiots really think a President has the bandwidth to involve himself in this type of minutia? The military has and has always had height/weight/body composition standards. When you are outside those standards while you are still in the military and subject to all that goes with that there are all kinds of things you don’t get. Promoted, special duty, tickets to an event where you will be a representative of the service etc.

So if you're serving in war, you would want over weight and unfit soldiers to fight with you? Sounds like a death wish.

 

[Dont Taz Me Bro]

It's just another form of discrimination. Are you sure you are OK with it?

We have fitness standards for a reason in the military. There shouldn't be any room for fat, out of shape, soldiers. Yes, I'm quite sure I'm okay with it. Cry harder.

I just don't know what is so hard to understand about this. We are not talking about a battalion of Chris Farleys storming the beaches of Normandy here but attending a friggin boxing match. If you are fit enough to be in the military and die for your country, then you should not be denied entry to a boxing match because you don't meet some kind of PR standard. Radical, I know!

A specific hip to shoulder ratio is not a fitness test. It's an appearance test.

Words have meanings, Son.

You know, I am sure if Barack or Michelle Obama had said they would deny military personnel access to a sporting event because they were not the ideal weight these Trumpers would have been fine with it.

Believe that and I have a bridge to sell you in Brooklyn.

Trump was embarrassed at his Birthday Parade last year by soldiers marching who appeared overweight to the cameras

I was thinking the same. Trump was mad that they did not march like Kim Jong Un's soldiers.

One problem Kim Jong Un does not have is overweight soldiers

A few more years of the Trump economy and we will all start looking like North Koreans.

I think he/she/it means this guy, y'all, all 5'2" and 300 lbs of him.
