QUOTE The latest Army statistics show a stunning 75 percent of military-age youth are ineligible to join the military because they are overweight, can't pass entrance exams, have dropped out of high school or had run-ins with the law. So many young people between the prime recruiting ages of 17 and 24 cannot meet minimum standards that a group of retired military leaders is calling for more investment in early childhood education to combat the insidious effects of junk food and inadequate education. story Thoughts? |

for real i don't think P.E. matters either. it was always the athletic ones of us who liked sports that participated and the people who didn't like it just half assed or didn't dress out.
