A 2023 report by the American Security Project found that 68% of active-duty U.S. service members are classified as either overweight or obese.

That means nearly 7 out of 10 U.S. soldiers are too fat to fight.

Iran's soldiers, who vastly outnumber the U.S. troops set to invade Iran, do not have an obesity problem. They don't live on Burger King and McDonald's fast food.

Obese U.S. soldiers are the perfect reflection of the failed U.S. empire: A culture of excess calories but malnutrition. A culture that favors artificially-flavored fast food over authentic food that's slow and intentional. The U.S. military sending fat soldiers to die in Iran is the perfect end cap to a failed empire that treats its own citizens like cattle, and its enemies like sub-human animals.

When dead U.S. soldiers come home in body bags (by the thousands), those body bags will have to be XXL just to fit the corpses of the soldiers who were raised on artificial food and sent to die in a foreign war that was started for artificial reasons by a delusional artificial president who funds his military by printing artificial currency.

chain impacts of Trump's war of aggression against Iran:

Why I'm not voting in the midterms: For ordinary Americans stripped of lobbyists and PACs, the ballot is our primary -- and often only -- tool for meaningful political accountability. To cast a vote is to perform a profound civic act. It says, 'I consent to your governance. I believe in your promises. I entrust you with a portion of my sovereignty.'

This consent is the bedrock of legitimate authority in a republic, a principle echoed in foundational texts discussing how government derives its 'legitimacy and authority from the consent of the governed.'

That consent, however, is not irrevocable. It is a conditional contract. When a leader or party shatters that trust, the consent is null and void. The MAGA movement, under Trump’s restored presidency, has done precisely that. It promised an end to endless foreign wars, only to engineer new ones. It pledged economic sovereignty and relief for working people, yet we face engineered scarcity and a food inflation crisis that threatens food abundance and political stability.

When trust is shattered by such fundamental reversals, continuing to vote for the betrayers is not pragmatism; it is self-inflicted slavery. My consent has been revoked.

Let's be brutally honest: the fighting spirit and physical resilience that once defined the American soldier have been systematically eroded. We have created a 'desk job' military. A shocking study reveals that nearly 70% of active-duty Army service members are classified as overweight or obese. This isn't about body-shaming; it's about combat readiness. A soldier carrying excess fat is slower, more prone to injury, and has reduced endurance. This crisis is a direct result of lowered physical standards and a culture that prioritizes social experimentation over lethal proficiency. As one U.S. senator warned, the military's focus on 'wokeness' is "going to get people killed".

The contrast with our potential adversaries is stark. While we debate gender-neutral fitness standards, Iranian forces, Hezbollah militants, and Houthi fighters in Yemen are lean, hardened, and battle-tested in asymmetric warfare. They have spent decades preparing to fight an invading force on their own terrain. A scientific paper bluntly frames the recruitment crisis: rising obesity is rendering a significant portion of the youth population "unfit for service," threatening the military's ability to expand rapidly to meet threats. We are trying to field an army from a pool of candidates that our own institutions have made soft and sick.

This physical decline is not an accident. It is the product of a society and a military leadership that has lost its way. The focus has shifted from forging warriors to managing a bureaucratic, politically correct institution. When Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth orders senior commanders to "prepare for war", he is ordering them to prepare a force that is, by the numbers, largely composed of individuals who would struggle in basic infantry training a generation ago. You cannot wish away the laws of physiology. An obese soldier will break under the strain of mountain warfare in the Zagros Mountains long before a lean, determined Iranian militiaman will.

Human history, in my view, is a chronicle of captured and magnified labor. We moved from the raw muscle of slaves and animals to the fossil-fueled might of steam and combustion engines. Each leap in energy -- horsepower, steam, internal combustion -- multiplied our output and enabled explosive population growth and greater specialization. This trajectory created the very scientific and technological elite that now sits atop our civilization.

This elite, however, is the product of the system it now seeks to dismantle. The intensification and specialization of production, driven by technological innovation, created the surplus that funded their research and insulated their power. Now, having reached the zenith of substituting machine for man, they view the masses they enabled as surplus to requirements. The logic is cold and linear: each transition in labor, from textile workers to auto plant employees, was driven by machines replacing human effort in the sector below. We are simply the last sector to be replaced.

Why They No Longer Need Us: The Dawn of Post-Human Labor

The GOP has lost my vote. We were promised a president who would finally end our role as the world’s policeman and prioritize American security and prosperity. Instead, we have a leader who has left the MAGA base feeling '100% betrayed' by a march to war that serves another nation's interests.

This betrayal is existential. I will never again vote for a candidate who places the expansionist interests of a foreign government above American sovereignty and the safety of our own citizens. It is the ultimate act of political treachery, transforming a movement of national renewal into a vehicle for foreign entanglement. This subservience is not just a policy failure; it is a fundamental violation of the oath to protect and defend the United States. Our primary allegiance must be to our own nation, not to the 'Greater Israel' projects of war criminals abroad.

When I say I refuse to vote for GOP candidates in the midterms, the immediate retort from the party loyalists will be a scream: 'You’re handing power to the Democrats!' This is the quintessential hostage-taker's logic. My answer is simple: No. Donald Trump and the Republican Party have already handed power to the Democrats by betraying their voters. They shattered the coalition that gave them power. The proof is already visible in the political landscape.

As noted in recent election analyses, Democrats are making shocking gains, even winning special elections in Trump districts, signaling a 'bloodbath' and a clear warning from disillusioned voters.

My withheld vote is not an act of surrender; it is my final, definitive act of political accountability. It is a message seared into the tally sheets: betray the American people, and you will be politically held responsible.

This principle is already playing out in primaries, where candidates seen as betraying the base are being rejected, as seen with the defeat of certain establishment figures. The only leverage we, the people, have is our consent. I will not give it to those who have proven themselves unworthy.

Pete Hegseth is not just a disgrace to America today, he's a disgrace to the Pentagon and the entire history of the U.S. armed services. He's a disgrace to the human race and the entirety of human civilization. He represents the very worst kind of weak-minded human fool... a man high on his own supply, but low on integrity and values. A man who couldn't win an honest MMA fight in the octagon, but is happy to send other greater men to bleed and die for the Pentagon.

Hegseth will be spat upon for decades to come by every remaining human being who survives the atrocities and civilization collapse that he is cheering forward like a 'roided-up idiot, full of sound and fury, signifying nothing.
