The Pentagon reveals that the military is finding it difficult to fill its ranks because our youths are too fat, too dumb, have visible tattoos, evidence of drug use and arrest records
According to the Pentagon, 71 percent of our youths are too dumb and too fat to serve in the armed forces. All you have to do is walk down the street and you will see fat youths everywhere. Many of those who want to enter military service are either school dropouts or high school graduates who cannot read and write well enough serve in today’s high-tech military and who cannot add, subtract, multiply and divide.
The military will not accept recruits with tattoos that cannot be covered up, and apparently there are many cases like that. And as the use of marijuana spreads, so does the use of other drugs like methamphetamine, designer drugs, heroin, etc. Because the military has enough problems with members of the armed services that have a clean pre-service record, they will not accept recruits with criminal records.
High school graduates need more than being well versed in diversity and multiculturalism to qualify for the military. Those high school graduates who can read and write well and are proficient in math are not the youths that will want to sign up for the armed services.
It sort of looks like the Pentagon will have to wait on the Japanese to invent human-like robots that can perform all the battlefield tasks required of our troops before the military can fill its ranks again.
I think that it is important to note that the same characteristics that would disqualify young men and women from serving in the military should also disqualify them from serving as police officers and firefighters. Obesity, criminal records, drug use and ink that cannot be covered aside, today’s cops and firefighters must be well educated and sham high school diplomas just won’t do the job.
