now that i know, to be careful of fat people thanks to her

Answer 1

I don't know all the factors to decide which threat is the "greatest", but since the Pentagon says it is a serious threat, I will defer to their judgement.



"U.S. military-age youth are increasingly unfit to serve — mostly because they’re in such lousy shape.



According to the latest Pentagon figures, a full 35 percent, or more than one-third, of the roughly 31.2 million Americans aged 17 to 24 are unqualified for military service because of physical and medical issues. And, said Curt Gilroy, the Pentagon’s director of accessions, 'the major component of this is obesity. We have an obesity crisis in the country. There’s no question about it.'"



"In a study being released Thursday in Washington, Education Secretary Arne Duncan and a group of retired military officers led by former Army Gen. Wesley Clark will sound the alarm bells and call young Americans’ relative lack of overall fitness for military duty a national security threat. The group, Mission: Readiness, will release a report that draws on Pentagon data showing that 75 percent of the nation’s 17- to 24-year-olds are ineligible for service for a variety of reasons".

Answer 2

Public education is the greatest threat to our national security. That and liberalism. That said, obesity is a problem because we're becoming a nation of fatazzes. So let's add things up:



Public educated ignoramuses, combined with liberal fatazzes = a HUGE national threat to our security!

Answer 3

Yes. In 50 years nearly everyone in America will be obese. The resulting health care cost burden could seriously weaken if not bankrupt our nation.

Answer 4

I would say the debt is the greatest threat to National Security.
