New Angle for the Military

You've seen Kim and her muffin-top. You've seen the super-abbed dudes in the sidebar of websites, the abs of which you will never have in your lifetime even if you devoted the next ten years to doing nothing but sit-ups all day long. Everyone wants to be fit and look good at the beach. Diet and exercise are huge business and always will be. But those programs cost money.

It's a tough time to be a military recruiter, what with the whole risk of losing a limb or your life now more real than ever, so maybe the Armed Services need to jump on this, with the added pitch that they will pay you to get in shape. Sample banner below.

  • I totally want to see these across the internet. (It would probably work really well for the armed forces, too.)

  • A google image search for marine lost leg turns up even more weight loss stories.

  • This is a great idea JP. I actually know of a girl who joined up to lose weight.

  • Just the kind of people you want defending you in times of war--crash dieters.

  • a sound body = sound mind; a sound mind = sound body; and neither are really true, but can be.
