As long as they are properly transgendered the DoD should be well satisfied.

Public Schools Are Threat To National Security

Public Schools Are Also Child Abuse.

“Military prep” school might be a useful thing...if they were serious.

“according to one advocacy group, is that “more than 70 percent of 17- to 24-year olds in the U.S. cannot serve in the military, primarily because they are too poorly educated, too overweight, or have a serious criminal record.”

Serious criminal record? What is the percentage on this?

As for “too overweight”, the military controls the food of and exercise of enlistees.

As for “too poorly” educated, 1950’s reading & writing plus 1960’s “science” updated should do the trick.

I do not believe this 70% figure..

I have another point of view. I contend that the military is using the educational system to "weed out" the undesirables. In other words, the few that make it despite the problems are the kind of recruits the military wants.

They are already motivated, likely physically fit, and able to blend in to a regimented organization.

They’d get discharged if they said anything about strength. Obama wants us weak and he’s got us there fast. Saving their own retirement is losing America but money is their god....and God warned against that!

Even in Texas we’re getting soft quickly. Hard to love a country and work for a country that is fighting you and that is how many feel. Until we love God above all else and repent, we’re headed down under.

The following is a copy of an ad run by a private textile company in North Carolina back in the 1980's. Sadly, the so-called "public" schools continue to fail the youth of America, for the same controlling bureaucracies and ideological forces of "progressivism" will not relinquish their coercive control and censorship of ideas which might enlighten and educate minds .

Yet, the title presents an interesting question.

[humblegunner]

The young are not in good physical shape; they don't have constructive personal values; and they are uninformed about history and the world.

I suppose then that they'll wind up writing blogs.

Like you.

You would deny the accuracy of an unnamed advocacy group?

You’ll do.

The military has the luxury of picking the best. Back in the 1980s, I remember hearing a statistic that only 10% of the population is fit to join the military in terms of intellect, physical fitness, and overall health. I do not know how that figure compares to today, but I do know that military personnel are typically quite capable.

With less than 1% of the population serving in the armed forces, we don’t need 100% of high school or college graduates to be qualified to join the military. We only need enough qualified applicants to make sure the military gets to choose the best.

Bingo!!!

You made me spit iced tea on myself. I drove back from Asheville 9 hours straight so I’m a bit road hard. Adds character to jeans. ; )

Actually it’s backwards. National security PC nonsense is a threat to public schools

To any higher acclaim I could not aspire. ;-)
