It’s sad how far the military standards have fallen over the last couple of decades. On the upside with shit cardio, these fat boys shouldn’t be challenging to evade.

Knowing very little about the national guard in particular, I would argue that the standards are there but the enforcement isn’t.
In the Navy, at least, physical training was never a serious priority except for more specialized commands. The standards were identical, but the commands where PT was emphasized were the only places where a majority of people were fit. There’s way more to it than just standards.
