Mandatory military service could help to solve the overweight and obesity problems, but there are a number of other factors that would need to be considered as well. For example, it's important to ensure that people have access to healthy foods and opportunities for physical activity before and after their service.

In addition, some people may not be physically suited for military service, so it's important that they have other options available to them as well. Overall, I think mandatory military service could be a valuable tool in the fight against obesity, but it would need to be part of a broader strategy that includes education and access to healthy foods and activities.
