WASHINGTON —The new U.S. military wants you — even if you're overweight, covered in tats and stoned on weed.

The Pentagon is considering that pitch as it scrambles to keep up with changing social mores and strives to attract the tech-savvy talent it needs.

Defense Secretary Ash Carter announced a broad review of recruiting standards this week, saying he wants to ensure that rules are not “unnecessarily restrictive” on issues like fitness, tattoos, marijuana use and letting single parents enlist.

The review reflects the military may rely less on ground infantry operations soon.
