    Being fat doesn’t reduce a leader’s ability to manage logistics, define tactics and strategy, build confidence in leadership or use technology. This focus on physical capabilities while we watch drones and robots take over modern warfare is insane. This incompetence will remove highly skilled soldiers and replace them with those less capable of modern warfare, and likely less capable of using new technologies. The people who are removed will go somewhere and bring the value of that skillset with them, empowering someone or something other than the US military. This administration’s obsession with loyalty and obedience over competence and independent thinking will weaken America and create opportunities for adversaries to exploit.

    Reverting to the values of a former age is a death sentence for the future. The world has changed and if America refuses to keep up with those changes, it will only hasten the fall.
