It’s NOT because of mere appearance. The current generation is, by a strong majority, unfit for military service.

If it really came down to it, the majority of those “unfit” would magically become fit for service in the eyes of the military overnight. Hell, let’s not pretend the majority of the military enforces height and weight standards as it is now. If I had my way probably about 30-40% of the military would be discharged tomorrow for being fat or out of shape.
