“”””The US Navy is lowering requirements to ridiculous levels, now accepting literal retards who flunked out of high school.””””

The ignorant writer must not know about the testing possible recruits take, my son is Mensa but was a high school dropout and today has a degree from a top college made possible by his time in the 10th Mountain Division.

I'll see your "Mensa" and raise you a "National Merit Scholar". In high school my youngest held two #1 positions, the most days missed and the highest GPA.

When he was maybe 6 years old, and already obviously super intelligent, I once asked him .. "What's it like to be you?". His answer ... "Imagine that you're a bee flying from flower to flower. Now imagine a beehive." :)

Today he's a medical Dr.
