Obama golf game moves soldiers wedding - Disgusting wedding pic

I am posting because of the fact that she is a West Point grad, as is her husband, and she has no skinny friends, well at least not in the wedding party.

You should've seen some of the Marine wives out in 29 Palms (shudders). Granted, I get what you're saying about West Point, but it's still the military. So don't except runway models as far as the women are concerned. And her friends are all probably from (insert small town U.S.A) and spend their Friday and Saturday nights having the locals buy them pitchers of Bud Lite. Life is good for them and they don't give a damn about their weight.

I thought the military was about staying in shape

You'd be surprised. Even in my infantry unit there where some men who let themselves go. Granted deploying to Iraq in the early '00's for multiple tours will take a toll on your body, but I never thought of that as a valid excuse to become a fat body. Don't get me started on non combat units.

This article about Lt. Gen. Stanley A. McChrystal taking over command of Allied forces in Afghanistan is from 2009, but it really sheds some light on how soft our military has become.

For all the rigor of basic training and the strict abstemiousness and discipline of military life, the American military is not, by and large, an ascetic institution. Comfort, though not the top priority, is also not systematically rejected. You can buy a latte at many military bases. No one is required to sleep on reeds. And yes, the Pentagon wants its troops to eat. Indeed, a 1995 study was conducted by the Institute of Medicine to determine why American soldiers tended to under-eat during training and in the field. Lack of choice in food — surprise — was a major reason.

Love him or hate him, when I think of a modern day warrior and leader, McChrystal comes to mind.

I know they are posing for a photo, but why do they have to make some over-acted gesture of joy and exuberance. I've noticed the bridesmaids doing it in other wedding photos recently.

Perhaps the photographer says 'OK, now look like you've just been given <insert vice of modern woman>'. I maybe a cynical old man, but what's wrong with a sincere smile or a genuine candid photo showing genuine feelings.

The guy getting married looks very apprehensive. It's possible the larger bridesmaids are already married and he is realising what he will end up with in 18 months time. Even one of his buddies is doing the fake 'wow' face.

Anon Bosch had some posts on this. It's the standard millennial female over the top fake expression, as they don't know how to be genuine. You see it all over social media in their party and big ceremony photos too.

I guarantee that anyone on this forum would score AT LEAST a 90 on the Men's PT test for the military. The girls PT test is even less than that. There are several overweight people in the military who skate by on PT due to the fact you only have to do the test twice a year.

Little Dark doesn't appreciate your lack of faith. He would score at least a 180.

But the PT test shouldn't be the focus here.

I think he was playing golf with the Malaysian prime minister, so it was work.

This is not within context but..

These two pictures made me kind of sad. Brave men bled, fought, and died for this future of weaklings and fat walrus women.

 

[eradicator]

what even happened here? fat women stood on a dock and it broke and sank? or did they sink a boat due to all of the weight?

^^ I thought the women would have floated at least.

At least the cow shaved her pits, or at least they are not colored.
