For those military faggots, when it comes to basic training, i have latent emphysema, however the disease is dormant. From what i can tell, it affects me in no way, i can still run, and do shit. However, since it is technically a disqualifier, the recruiter had told me to just omit the disease, and do basic training anyways. I am assuming basic training is not really that hard, especially seeing all the fat fuck army cadets around. And i can run and do exercise without a problem. However the SGLI portion may have some explaining to do, since the prior medical, would show some clear damage to the pulmonary system. How serious is this offense?

I don't know if they changed it since I was in, but you can check the Army Physical Fitness Test (APFT) at the link below.

It used to be 2 min push up, 2 min situp, and 2 mile run. They've been talking about changing it for years but I don't know if they've pulled the trigger yet.

Assuming it's the same, I think the only thing you have to worry about is the run. I would definitely do a test run and make sure you can meet the standards before you sign anything.

I don't think you would get in any kind of legal trouble for omitting it as other commenters said. It would just suck to get there and have problems with PT, since it might be miserable for you if struggle at every morning run.

It changed in October 2020 according to this.

Yeah I just took a brief look at that. Not sure if I like the new test. You used to be able to do a PT test just about anywhere but now it looks like you need equipment or access to a facility of some sort.

I think the OP's main concern will still be the run though.

Yes, and the SDC (Sprint / Drag / Carry). 250m (~275 yards) of sprinting, dragging 90lbs, carrying 80lbs. Seems that would challenge the respiratory issues quite a bit.
