Recruits who are fat, stupid and have criminal records is no way to run the military
According to a February 2018 Politico story,
“The Army anticipates problems meeting its 2018 goal to enlist 80,000 qualified volunteers, even with increased bonuses and incentives.
Nearly three-quarters of Americans age 17 to 24 are ineligible for the military due to obesity, other health problems, criminal backgrounds or lack of education,
according to government data.”
The commanding general of the Army’s Recruiting Command told the Army Times in 2015 that
“The obesity issue is the most troubling because the trend is going in the wrong direction.
We think by 2020 it could be as high as 50 percent,
which means only two in 10 would qualify to join the Army.”
So what is the Pentagon going to do?
They’re going to reduce recruiting standards and throw money at the problem.
“The Army is offering $40,000 enlistment bonuses
and paid
$424 million in enlistment bonuses last year.
The Army is also trying to meet its goal by
granting ‘moral waivers’
for criminal offenses from drug convictions to arson,”
according to the Army Times.
The Army is authorized to enlist up to four percent of its recruits from the “Category IV” standard.
These are recruits who score between the 10th and 31stt percentile on the pre-enlistment ap ude test.
According to the Army Times,
Category IV soldiers are less likely to complete their term of enlistment and
are harder to train “due to cognitive skills and illiteracy.”
They are also more expensive to train and
“significantly more likely to subsequently be screened at ASAP [Army Substance Abuse Program],
test positive for an illicit substance, or
separate from the Army for misconduct behavior.”

I am shocked this is the aftermath of importing the 3rd World
Compared to WWII these kids are geniuses.
And WWI
more like, the aftermath of exporting death to Iraq and Afghanistan.
The tempo of the two wars between 2003-2008 caused US enlistment standards to drop. This has been going on for awhile.
American lifestyle (sedentary), S.A.D. (Standard American Diet) are toxically fatal.
Then add-in the 1000s of synthetic chemicals polluting air, water, air, food, and ultimately ac ulating in people.
Too stupid, ignorant for the military? holy , THAT's stupid.
