Should National Guard General Michael L. Cunniff lose weight? (Vote)

Governor Christie has been criticized relentlessly for his weight, but now he's turning the pressure on someone else to lose a few pounds.

Should N.J. National Guard Brigadier General Michael L. Cunniff have to lose weight, or has he earned the right to operate by a different standard than those below him?

Many callers shared the belief that members of the military should be held to a high standard, especially when in positions of leadership.

For instance, Roy, a 48-year-old military officer said he had to fit in his uniform just like younger service members.

Ryan, a 33-year-old from East Brunswick, however, said a graduated weight scale exists in the military, but your weight doesn't necessarily determine your fitness level.
