Stop discriminating against large people in the Armed Forces

Created by J.S. on January 24, 2013

In an attempt to reduce the size of the military, the Government has seen fit to take all rights away from large people in the military but force them to remain in until such time as their contract is up. If a large person is to be deemed unfit to remain in the military, they should be separated and given support to transition into the civilian life. Currently the Military will leave you in and take away Tuition assistance, the ability to be promoted regardless of job performance, and most of all, continually harass the individual for being overweight. There is no support to help a person lose weight in the military, just discrimination against them. In a military with a zero tolerance for drug use, a drug addict gets more support than an overweight person.
