Keep in mind this report is coming from Condoleeza and an ex Newscorp executive. Judging from people I know who've joined the military, there's absolutely no way that 50% of 19-25 year olds are too fat or dumb to join, and I'm pretty sure the figure for actual criminal history is under 25%. If you have a little extra chunk they just make you run it off, you gotta be FAT for the recruiter to send you away. I have a feeling this is a propaganda piece to make people feel like they're "special" when they join the military, instead of on their last resort.
