    it’s interesting to me that you see childhood obesity as “an absence of military training” and not such things as

    • lack of support for health education in schools
    • lack of health meal choices for school cafeterias
    • lack of free support materials for parents
    • subsidies and support for low income families to get access to fresh and healthy foods
    • tariffs on high fat and high sugar foods
    • regulation on grocery store prices
    • more free activities for young people
    • subsidized sports programs and facilities
    • etc etc

    “oh that’s expensive”

    the us military spends $64,000 per second every second.

      I didn’t say that. I say conscription would help these overweight people and it would help in other ways.

      Then I also said that getting to that point is a failing of the state.

      You don’t know where I stand on any of those points because we weren’t talking about it.

      I don’t really care what the US military spends per second.
