Typical modern day bullshit. Ban it because it's easy to say that.... don't bother making a statement like "Any fat-assedness while in uniform should be prohibited" We all know being a fat ass isn't a personal decision like tobacco use. :roll:

They're trying to make them healthy, so they can send them to war!? Does anyone else see the irony here?

They should ban firearms in the military as well. Those things kill people.

The American puritanical approach to war has always been a joke to our allies. Pershing placed all brothels and prostitutes off limits and the AEF then ran up the highest STD rate of any army on the Western Front.
Nice to know that we can trust our boys with guns but not a smoke or a beer.
Let's never let reality interfere with imposing our morality on everyone else. :roll:
