An Army of Dumb
Americablog points to this story from the Baltimore Sun on how the Pentagon made its recruitment quota for the month of October. Choice quote:
To achieve last month’s recruiting targets, 12 percent of those accepted by the Army had the lowest acceptable results. They scored between 16 and 30 points out of a possible 99 on an aptitude test that quizzes potential soldiers on general science, mathematics and word knowledge.
Good thing fighting wars isn’t, you know, challenging or anything.
