I didn't say "fat bodies", someone else may have. I was told.....

....that the physical requirement testing was watered down ridiculously to allow for some entries to be allowed in. They did share some specifics, but it boils down to:

If someone needed to be dragged out of combat, or if someone were in any hand to hand combat, it would be an issue for some.

I can't share the branch. Both of these men are fit, but i think that it is in the back of the minds of many that they will have liabilities next to them in combat.....fully willing to give their best, but their best isn't good enough.
And yeah, that is exactly why the old standards used to be in place for soldiers, police officers, etc..
