520			_a"Too Fat to Fight" by Rex Beach is a novel written in the early 20th century, particularly during the aftermath of World War I. The story centers around the character Norman Dalrymple, affectionately nicknamed "Dimples," who grapples with his weight and desire to serve in the military. Through his humorous yet poignant journey, Beach explores themes of self-acceptance, sacrifice, and the importance of finding one's role in times of conflict. The narrative begins with Dimples being rejected from military service due to his excessive weight, leading him to embark on a mission to lose weight and prove his worth. Failing to meet the army’s standards, he transitions his efforts toward working with the Young Men's Christian Association (YMCA) to support soldiers overseas. Despite the initial setbacks, Dimples thrives in his role, bringing joy and comfort to troops while maintaining his larger-than-life personality. His experience morphs into one of self-discovery, and through his endeavors, he ultimately finds a sense of purpose and camaraderie, proving that one can contribute to the war effort in diverse ways beyond traditional combat roles.
