It's like they don't think thin, non-prettyboy tough guys exist.  One guy I know went into the Air Force to be an EOD tech.  EOD techs are deployed with spec-ops teams.  Of course, the EOD people have to be an asset, not a liability.  So you get all the stringent requirements of Special Forces--three workouts a day instead of the Air Forces' standard one workout a day--without the glory of being called Special Forces.    He's the biggest shitlord I've ever known, whether on the issue of obesity or the issue of IQ.    The whole "chunky=tough" thing is delusional.
