Quite right.
I can maybe understand getting a little out of shape, but that's ridiculous!
There was a similar thing over here in the UK not too long ago with an obese firefighter. I think they gave him 3 months to shift some weight from his fatass but he didn't do it so they gave him the elbow.
I mean, that guy could have been called upon to strap on breathing apparatus and try and rescue someone from a burning house! They'd both end up being carried out in bodybags from the charred structure.
Police officer, firefighter, soldier etc, should be in some sort of good shape and definitely physically fit and able.
