    Ah, so wanting kids to pass tests that would put them on the path to military fitness or provide lists of capable soldiers. I see what you’re doing…

    No one can do it because they all have bone spurs. So sad, but what can you do?

      I had bone spurs in my shoulder once. Then I had an operation and no longer had bone spurs. Then my shoulder worked normally, and I could do normal things.

    According to the article the program only ended in 2013? I was in high school before that date in the states and never heard anything about a fitness test

    I’m confused. I thought they didn’t want the brown people to be more fit than law enforcement?
