A shocking 7 out of 10 potential Army Reserve candidates are unfit to serve their country due to obesity, prescription drug addictions and other reasons.

As reported in The Washington Times, “According to Army Recruiting Command statistics compiled last year, 71 percent of young people wanting to join the military would fail to pass service tests because of their physical, moral or cognitive shortcomings.”

Captain Eric Connor, a U.S. Army Reserve Command spokesman, said that the majority of applicants fail to meet the recruiting standards due to “mental, moral and physical reasons.” Excessive amounts of tattoos also impact their ability to join, as do weight and prescription drug problems.

Thousands of military recruits sought, but will there be enough physically-fit, drug-free applicants?
