Fitness bonuses sound like a smart carrot, but let's make sure the stick of proper training and support isn’t too far behind.

Rewarding strength is logical, but let’s keep an eye on fairness and not just who can sprint the fastest.

A little extra cash for staying fit? Not bad—sometimes motivation needs a paycheck, not just a pat on the back.

Cash for crunches? Perfect. The military needs tough warriors, not participation trophies.

If you want a stronger force, pay the troops who earn it. Incentivize excellence, not excuses.

If only we spent as much on community health as we do tossing cash at pushups, maybe fewer recruits would get disqualified in the first place.

Great, now the military rewards looking good—maybe next we’ll pay for decent housing and healthcare for a real fitness boost.

Giving bonuses for fitness is fine, but how about investing in mental health and better nutrition instead of just cash rewards?

Finally, a bill that rewards discipline and commitment instead of coddling—fitness means readiness, not handouts.
