I was going to pass on writing anything about the Associated Press<\/a> article which discusses the distressing fact that soldiers are getting thicker in the Army, because it was an example of the Army half-assed “studying” more useless shit until I saw the picture that accompanied the article. First, though, the article;<\/p>\n

In 2007, a pilot survey of 3,000 male soldiers on active duty found that they were, on average, as tall as soldiers who were measured in a 1988 survey. However, the 2007 sample of soldiers averaged two inches more around the chest, waist and hips.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

So for some reason the Army thinks it’s needs more sizes in uniforms. But you know that it has something to do with the First Lady’s lecture to those clowns in a Fort Jackson DFAC<\/a> a few weeks ago about eating their veggies.<\/p>\n

But, anyway here’s the picture that encouraged me to write this today. Tell me you don’t think it’s funny;

That fat fucking civilian can’t even see the screen on his computer because his man-boobs are in the way, but he’s measuring the thickness of soldiers? They should be checking the thickness of civilians on military bases.<\/p>\n

Anyway, the fucking study is useless because the Army, as usual only did half of it’s job;<\/p>\n

According to AP, officials said they didn’t try to determine if troops in the 2007 survey were fatter or if the extra bulk was due to more muscle.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

It was probably more muscle and they’re just afraid to tell Michelle that she’s preaching to the choir.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
