I disagree with most things you’ve just said. I agree that there’s no mental PT test, but I disagree with the concept of writing something that dumb. And I’ll end on this point: it’s a sad state of affairs when the nation can’t find enough fit individuals to fill out its military branches and the response is “it’s about time” instead of “wow, we need to make some serious changes.”
“Gotcha”
Nope, just wanted to make sure we agree that the folks talking about Trump needing to be in good physical shape as CiC are silly.
“Mental”
Sure but that’s not a military standard. Theres no mental PT test.
“Leading by example”
That’s in the military, like how Milley should have. Civilian leadership physical fitness doesn’t matter.
“NG”
And if they fall out of those standards, or can’t meet the current standards, can be kicked out.
We all know this, it’s not new and it’s entirely appropriate. If anything, this is long overdue.

Cool, that first part was just an insult.
“Fill out”
Actually, recruiting has surged since the election.
Turns out the kind of folks who are willing to join the military want to join the military, not a fat camp.
And yes, we’ve been begging to get back to real standards for years.
