Obesity Affects Number Of Those Eligible For Military Service « CBS Baltimore
BALTIMORE (WJZ) — Unhealthy eating habits could become an issue of national security.
The Department of Defense says that obesity is affecting the number of Americans eligible to serve in the military.
“I am very concerned about the reduced number of men and women who can meet all of the qualifications required to serve in our armed forces,” said retired U.S. Navy Rear Admiral Steven Tomaszeski.
Now, retired admirals from Maryland are releasing a report, citing obesity as the number one reason young adults can’t serve in the military.
“Nearly one quarter, 25 percent of all Americans ages 17-24 are too overweight to serve.
Obesity is not only affecting those who can qualify for military service, it is also creating challenges for our active duty military,” Tomaszeski said.
