One of the problems when you're dealing with obesity is the amount of time it takes to accomplish weight loss. I think that maximum healthy loss is a pound a day, and that's on a regimen specifically tailored to that end. With that, there is no muscle development, etc. While certainly the obese people mentioned could be cut into shape, the effort and time invested would be quite high, and would require changes to the training regimen, I would imagine.
What I found interesting was the part where those convicted of crimes were ineligible for service. I'm not going to get into the debate here, but suffice it to say, that about 200 years ago, the vast majority of armies were entirely convicts. Just goes to show... [img]smile.gif[/img]
