Lieutenant General Mark Phillip Hertling, is the Commanding General, US Army Europe and Seventh Army. In that role, he is the commander of the approximately 42,000 U.S. Army forces assigned to Europe, and he is the Army Component Commander of U.S. European Command. While Hertling's primary role is training U.S. Army soldiers and units for Contingency and Full Spectrum Operations, he is also responsible for Theater Security Cooperation and Building Partner Capacity with the 51 allied nations that are part of the European area of operation.
In the spirit of ideas worth spreading, TEDx is a program of local, self-organized events that bring people together to share a TED-like experience. At a TEDx event, TEDTalks video and live speakers combine to spark deep discussion and connection in a small group. These local, self-organized events are branded TEDx, where x = independently organized TED event. The TED Conference provides general guidance for the TEDx program, but individual TEDx events are self-organized.* (*Subject to certain rules and regulations)

@@Sho-td8wg agreed. However I don't feel that's an excuse to lower the standards. Yes, recruits might come in less fit nowadays; instead of lowering standards, they could lengthen basic, or make failing soldiers repeat it. A less fit military serves nobody's interests. Well, maybe it serves the enemy's.

Body positivity has turned into “I’m unhealthy and overweight and that’s fine because I love myself” rather than “I love myself and recognize my self-worth is not based on my weight, but loving myself means making healthy decisions and changes in my life.”

Video games don't cause obesity. Fructose and lack of fiber (which fills you up) does. Processed starches like bread are a little too efficient at delivering energy. I eat a lot of veggies, oatmeal and a bit of chicken. I also stand at my desk and am constantly moving during work. (I'm listening to "Soulfly - Redemption of Man By God" right now. Impossible not to move to that).

Yeah, I don't think you can blame gaming for that tho. I've played 6-12 hours a day, devoting 1-2 hours to exercise. 1-3 hours a day, 5 days a week, is all you need to stay in shape. I was doing almost 400 lbs in deadlifts and running the 3000m in 11-12 minutes. 5 strength sessions(1h each), and 3 cardio(1h each) sessions is all you need to be in serious shape. Sure, if you wanna go pro, you might increase that, but to maintain a very decent human fitness, you need no more than about 1-3 hours of exercise a day.

I joined the army in 2017 at 18 years old. I had swam competitively for 12 years, did drum line all throughout high school. I had also never been over weight, typically had had more issues being underweight. Halfway through AIT (advanced individual training) I found out that I had damaged the cartilage in my knees beyond repair, as well as gotten 3 stress fractures in several parts of my left leg. It isn’t just a weight issue. It’s also a nutrition issue. Several people in our upcoming generation are not getting the correct amounts of calcium and other nutrients to help build our bones. I know so many soldiers who’s bones just started breaking.

Also, you did not run and walk consistently to train your legs to endure the training at Basic. Aside form nutrition it looks like you mostly trained swimming. Idk if you trained a lot of running. I did cross country when I was a kid and ran all the time on my free time. Bones and legs and cartridge will adapt to your workouts. When I went to OSUT the running and rucking was easy. But the swimming part was rough…. Anyways it also depends on rounding out your workouts. Good to do, running, rucking, swimming, weights, calisthenics, martial arts and stretching. Keeping it well rounded will adapt your body for each activity progressively.

its easy to find good information out there.. you can see how a plant based diet and fermentation max out health- especially bone density etc.. ive studied this stuff for years in an interdisciplinary way.. the problem is trying to pertain to modern society and its flawed status quo. it isnt that there is not enough calcium, its that persons ambitions include disruptions. the science will be spun to reflect whatever marketing ideal need be met. Nutrition is fairly easy, and mundane- whats hard is saying no to hyperpalatable, and addictive, food drugs like refined carbs, concentrated oils, animal products, and high levels of salt.. all of which disregulate systems of the body and shorten lifespan.. (HORMONE D is kept in check, highly regulated by the body, and is disrupted through many of modern societies arbitrary ambitions like hyper-sterility, animal product consumption, chemical use)... its like running around trying to make smoking and cigarettes see, like a part of a healthy lifestyle...

I am from Norway, and people are generally very active and fit here. The first time I ever saw an obese person was when I visited the U.S. when I was 19 years old. Actually, not just one obese person, many obese people. That was back in 2004. I have still never seen an obese person here in Norway that I can remember, but even here people are generally getting bigger according to statistics. We have also adopted more of the Standard American Diet up here (with the very fitting abbreviation: SAD)... Gee, I wonder if there might be a correlation there.....

The PE thing shocked me. No mandatory sports at school? I live in Poland, and here you have to have 2 hours of PE a week basically from age 6 to 18, unless you have a doctors note of course. It's a part of school so you get grades for, which is why there's nearly no way around it. I know Germany has mandatory sports as well. While I complain about it a lot, maily due to the not entirely fair grading and no too great curriculum, it's undoubtedly a good thing we are forced to exercise in some way.

I’m 41 years old. And this shocked me. I graduated high school in 1996. In a upper class suburb of Chicago. In the 1980’s All we did was play outside. There wasn’t anything else to do? And nothing I couldn’t do. PE was an hour a day and 2, thirty minute recess outside. We only had 1....19 inch television. Now I have 6....55” televisions. Times have changed drastically. In 1986 everything changed. We got our first Microwave, VCR, and Nintendo. Still through high school I had PE and had to pass to graduate. I skipped PE a lot my junior year in high school. So senior year I had to retake that PE class. First and second period they gave me P.E. Soon as I got to school I had to run 1.7 miles twice! So about 3-1/2 miles every morning. I was so fit the Air Force came to my job every Friday evening trying to recruit me. My father has his draft card from Vietnam in his wallet to this day. I have my selective service card in my wallet to this day. Every American male citizen was supposed to join at 18 by law. Most probly have no idea this was mandatory. My father strongly urged me to avoid the military. And many of my friends who served in the Middle East are mentally damaged for life!!! He taught me about the military after Vietnam. So I took his advice and not served. Probly a good thing? I probly would have gone to Iraq? Then 9/11 happened when I was 23 and considered joining again? Again I decided not to. That was the last time I felt America was “UNITED”! Still very fit. I’m sure more than most 18 year old soy boys. P.E. Is a must! I had to through out my childhood. No exceptions! Even in crazy liberal Chicago!!!!

I’ve been overweight for most of my life, and since I’ve been dieting and exercising I’ve been noticing several quality-of-life improvements. For one, I don’t feel sick as much and have less digestive problems. Secondly, simple tasks that used to feel difficult over prolonged periods are now extremely easy and don’t even increase my breathing rate. Something as simple as climbing stairs can be a rough part of the average office workers day. But if you exercise, you won’t even feel a difference in effort between climbing stairs and walking normally. Virtually everybody will notice an easier work day due to exercise. Not only will you have more energy, virtually every activity will become less and less difficult due to your increased strength and endurance. I don’t know about you, but I think that’s a win.

Now that obesity is a slur rather than a medial condition its off to the races for the next generation. We as Americans don't actually care for our fellow Americans, quite the opposite actually. Its kind of funny considering how God and Christianity is such a big part of our culture, you would think we would care about one another. But it seems like its just another way for narcissists to judge others and to pat themselves on the back about how much better they are. Anything that remotely resembles tough love is now considered offensive or an attack on someone's safe space. Unfortunately this country is beyond selfish and at the end of the day, its all about the super rich getting even more richer.

@Eric Vandiver That 42.2% figure also comes from mid-2020, just as COVID was beginning and a few months into the pandemic. The CDC's last prepandemic figure, which surveyed between 2017 and March 2020, had the figure at 41.9%. If you think about how many people have said they have gained weight as a result of staying indoors more in the last two years, that figure can easily be higher today. It's probably closer to 43% or 44% obese and three-quarters or more of the population at overweight and/or obese now.

That's before you even add onto the whole tastes of the students since my PE class was split between try hard footballers and rugby fans who just wanted to toss a ball around and tackle one another (with a small portion of the none athletic kids just trying not to get yelled at by the rest of us in what ever sports got picked).

I graduated HS back in 1988. Obese children were uncommon. Sadly, that is no longer the case. My 3 children graduated within the last 4 years. It is true that obesity has become commonplace. The only positive result of this sad epidemic is that there seems to be less bullying because so many children are obese that it is accepted as the new normal. Wisconsin high schools only require 3 semesters of physical education I believe. The true problem lies in the ridiculous amount of junk food. Most children are not receiving vitamin-rich, home-cooked meals anymore. Please feed your kids veggies.

@@FirebirdCamaro1220 18 mins on the three mile run is the top level. Basically top score are 20 pull ups, I believe 100 crunches in 2 minutes, and 3 mile run in 18 mins or less would be a perfect score. If my memory serves correct - minimum score was 3 pull ups, I believe 30 crunches, and somewhere around 25 minutes for the run - been awhile since I thought about all that - The general is dead right - but here is something I learned the hard way - for fitness I ran - I would average about 60 miles a week when not training, ran my first marathon in my 40's, was in great shape, so I thought - had a freak accident in 2016 and fractured two of my vertebrae, found out that all the impact I had done over the years did tremendous damage to me - I had no idea. I loved running, it was my drug - but had I done something like swimming, biking, yoga, I would have had much less complications from the accident - it took almost 2 years before I was able to walk again, I was lucky. Now I do the life-cycle at the gym for my cardio - never in my wildest dreams would I ever thought I would do that for working outs - I hated treadmills, stationary bikes, and just felt like "real work outs" were from running, etc. Long story short - after almost a year doing low impact stuff, I am almost back to the shape I used to be in, but this time with dramatically less pain and damage. We all get old, I fought it and thought because I was eating right, taking it easy on the booze, and running I was doing the right thing - I cannot emphasize how much damage high impact exercise can do - If I had it to do all over again, I would have stuck with the stationary bike and yoga.

That's how majority of people think and that's why we have an issue with obesity. They only see and hear what they want. It's easier to focus on a negative point instead of a positive. It's easier to be negative and depressed as opposed to be positive and happy because it takes work to be positive and happy. I like video games but not so much at the risk of my health, life, and social interactions. But i was born an athlete,was raised an athlete and still have the same mindset.

When I was in the regular Army (prior to going on to Special Forces), I was assigned to a light infantry division. One thing that I noticed right away was that most of the soldiers who ended up with some type of lower body injury (sprained ankles, lower back problems, strained muscles, etc.) were soldiers from units that conducted the bare minimum physical training and activities. These were generally soldiers from support and service support units (such as maintenance units and units that conducted administrative duties, etc.). Conversely, soldiers from the infantry battalions - who did lots of running, heavy ruck marching (walking long distances carrying heavy packs) and enhanced physical fitness activities would show the least number injury cases by comparison. It was counter-intuitive to me because one would think that the ones stressing their bodies the most would be the ones with the greater number of injuries.

@geodes4762 You are absolutely correct. In Special Forces, a lot of our training methods changed with the influx of SOCOM funding towards programs like THOR3 (Tactical Human Optimization Rapid Rehabilitation and Reconditioning). At our unit gym, we had our own trainers and physical therapy professionals as well as all of the equipment necessary to train correctly. However, ruck marching long distances and parachuting with a 120 lb ruck will never be good for anyone long-term. I retired some years ago, and my neck X-rays tell that story.

I can make very healthy food for very little money. That said, in many areas in the inner cities, fresh food is not readily available and food prices are higher. I think calorie counting has its merits, but there is a dangerous sugar addiction cycle that processed food causes. It is a metabolic disorder, that is not genetic, but environmentally created and sets people up to fail. Most people do not understand how the food they eat affects their biochemistry and how much sugar is hidden in almost everything that has to have an ingredient label at the store.

You're right on BMI and very wrong on the calories. Calories in vs calories out is different for everyone. If you are perfectly healthy, you are correct. Someone with different diseases, tolerance, hormonal issues, etc, it's all different. I know for a fact that if I eat 90% calories in carbs no matter what the other 10% is, I will gain weight. I know for a fact that when I eat 10% carbs no matter what the other 90% calories are, I will lose weight. I also know now for a fact that when 0% of those carbs are added refined sugars, I lose even more weight. Conveniently, I also have hypothyroidism. Even with medication, I still have to limit what foods I eat as my hypothyroidism created an autoimmune disease sparked by gluten similar to hashimotos disease. So if I eat bread I literally begin to swell and have mood swings as it attacks my thyroid rending my medication useless. You also need to figure in goals. I exercise (lifting, met-cons) daily. My diet should be different than the person who doesn't exercise. I am all for people taking responsibility for their health, even if it's not their "fault" but we go to give them correct information.

I’ve just come to realize that when my body isn’t the healthiest it can be, my life is diminished is certain ways. I can’t always keep up with my kids, my job, and I suffer in other ways due to my poor choices. So I completely agree with the general on his topic. It’s a national security issue, and a poor life quality issue. I, and others like me, need to do better.

Same here, man! I keep slipping up on this, and it definitely is an issue I'm seeing, as a military member myself. It's a lot of bad habits and backgrounds, and as I continue to work on myself to break these habits, I encourage others to do so themselves. And you have already acknowledged that it's a problem, which is the first step, and I congratulate you on that. Keep going!

Fact. Width of American Caskets have changed 2x in the last 10 years. Pre 2012 was 22.5". Currently 24.5". Too many people are getting "offended" by body shaming. Yet so many funeral service professionals have bad shoulders, backs and knees from the increased work related strain. A little more personal individual accountability and a lot less shame and blame would be healthy for us all. Quality of life can improve by better personal diet and exercise choices.

I think the biggest issue is that Parents claim they are to busy and families no longer eat home cooked meals, which are alot healthier than anything else you get from a fast food join. Causing obesity in children and Parents. Also the body positivity movement is making it ok to be unhealthy and overweight.

I currently serve in the Navy, and the Navy has a unique problem with overweight servicemembers. In 2020, I shattered my knee on deployment and was sent stateside. I was never a top performer in PT and have struggled with weight management my whole life, despite playing sports for a majority of my childhood, which contributed to my knee injury, as I had several knee injuries during sports. I gained weight as I couldn't do much for exercise and my diet wasn't great, I went on FEP when the PRT came around. But the truth is, I was gaining weight while on the boat (I am a submariner). On deployment, we would lose tons of weight, not only was the food low quality, but the work load and exhaustion lead to many people just sleeping for breakfast, lunch or dinner. But while in port, the only available decent food was takeout, and the workload in both port and underway, not to mention very few pieces of actual workout equipment, lead to a rubberbanding effect in the weight of not just myself, but a lot of the crew. It is a systemic problem inside the military. I am all for physical health, but when we don't address the factors surrounding obesity, like lack of sleep or mental health, we are just making it a platitude.

When you join the military expect to have less sleep than civilian people. Thats why they teach you to adapt. Yes its hard to workout when you are sleep deprive but you can train your body to adapt. I think lots of people in military have excuses hence its a shame to see them wearing that uniform but out of shape.

@@PhiyackYuh I have adapted mentally to having less sleep, but it still comes with deleterious effects and it primarily is utilized to stand more watches in the engine room. My rate is ETN, I spend long hours sitting at the Reactor plant control panel (8 hour standard watch) followed up by potentially several hours of maintenance where I stand in front of either a computer or complex measuring instruments to perform the maintenance. I am not a marine, where my job consists of working out for 4 hours a day, or an infantryman, with the same requirements. Not to mention, all the other branches making working out a part of their workday, where as the Navy it has to be on our already diminishing free time. The lack of food kept me in shape for a while, I lost 25 pounds on my first 30 day underway.

Some of them were morbidly obese, and still very young. At least 30 percent of them were overweight. Very troubling.
