A third of teenagers have diabetes or prediabetes,\u201d Kennedy began.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<p>\u201cThis is not only a public health challenge, it\u2019s a national security issue. About 77 percent of American children can no longer qualify for military service,\u201d he said. \u201cThat\u2019s something that should get everybody\u2019s attention.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>In the United States, citizens must be at least 18 years old to serve in the military.<\/p>\n<p>While it was certainly an attention-grabbing statement, it remains unclear exactly what Kennedy meant.
