Military Readiness

The issue of Obesity in America has been a serious concern in recent years. In addition to healthcare, the issue of obesity affects many different aspects of our society, including military readiness. This study is significant because it will shed light upon an issue that has become a serious problem and even a threat to national and international security. It is apparent that one of the most critical and detrimental impacts of obesity on the military is the decrease in the ability to recruit young people. The rapid increase in childhood obesity has led to a shortage of young people who are fit enough to face the rigors of serving in the military. This greatly affects military readiness because of the increased demands being placed on the armed services. If the military does not get the proper amount of recruits each year it will be unable to sustain certain troop levels and it will not have the ability to properly carry out its missions.
