  2. The website is not a news source, but a total sham – Reuternews.online has NOTHING to do with Reuters, they simply found a domain name to piggyback on.

    The article quotes a 2020 study, and has no basis in reality. How can 77% be the rejected total overall, while the main causes do not sum up to a fraction of it, and are stated as follows:

    “When considering youth disqualified for one reason alone, the most prevalent disqualification rates are overweight (11 percent), drug and alcohol abuse (8 percent), and medical/physical health (7 percent),” the Pentagon’s 2020 Qualified Military Available Study of Americans between the ages of 17 and 24 read.

    They talk about covid vaccine being “Draconian” and give no insights into details. Have forwarded the details of the website to a Reuters reporter friend of mine to take action..

  3. Jeez, maybe better food standards, not letting everything be poisoned by petroleum products/plastics, universal healthcare, and childcare are national security issues.

    Who would have thought…

  6. I’d rather smoke a joint than join the military and get my leg blown off trying to make some old demented man’s dream come true of making Greenland a state and then come home to have republicans kill my benefits.

  9. Just because they’re not technically eligible doesn’t mean they can’t join.

    Let me introduce you to the waiver, which the Army and (especially) the Navy give out like candy these days.

  11. Seeing how they treat veterans, is joining the military even worth it?

  12. We would be drafting our healthiest specimens to go off to war.

    Yikes
