Don't get this twisted. I am not shaming that soldier. He is doing the hard thing. He is risking life and limb while others are simply cheerleading. Much respect. Much hope that he, his enemies and everyone involved makes it home safe. The bastards that should be doing the fighting, risking life and limb are the policy makers and the idiotic cheerleaders that refuse to turn this war off.

Having said that I don't understand why I'm seeing so many "chubby" fighters. It just doesn't make sense to me.  I've said before and I'll say again.  The stress alone should have these guys shedding weight like crazy.  The physical exertion should have them skinny strong by now.

What is so different in this war that we're seeing big dudes?  Not muscular big but fat big?

Something is off here and I can't figure it out.
