But at this point in the film, hadn’t he lost like 15+ pounds and also shouldn’t soldiers be held to a slimmer standard than others? And yeah the movie was made a long time ago. Most people are actually fat now.
Don’t know about slimmer but soldiers should definitely be carrying less fat reserves and moving with more muscle mass. Calories supplied in the field, and if the logistics for that break down then you’re not going to live long enough to starve.
This was my thought exactly. The military has actual weight standards. So he could be fat compared to all his fellow soldiers, but not fat by normal standards.

Apparently nobody’s clothes fit after basic because you either lose weight or gain muscle.

Yup. The dude was fat for military standards then and he’d be fat for military standards today.
