Fats at the VA I have such mixed emotions when I go to my VA. The men and women there all served their country with honor, some lost limbs, eyesight, and their minds for people who didn't care and called them fools. But it's also a never ending parade of fat. So much fat! Why do people who's physical fitness made the difference from life and death once upon a time let themselves derail? It hurts. And I hate it.
