During the first Gulf War many US soldiers were (technically) denied medals, awards or promotions (despite their performance) due to being on the Army weight program.
Funny, the Commander was overweight, some of his staff were even more over weight, but enlisted men got screwed.
They were so overweight they didn't meet AR 600-9 but could still do their job well enough to be deployed in combat.
Something is wrong with this picture and the Army wouldn't even talk about it!
