Of course it does.
Hell, don’t even need a high school diploma anymore.
Speaks volumes as the state of the military today and its idiot ridden leadership.

It has been said “history repeats itself” Also it has been proved time and again here in the US of A that our leaders refuse to learn from past mistakes.
This is Macnamaras’ 100,000 all over again. Sigh!

We need to return to the basics: Reading, Writing, Math, & Dodge Ball.

All by plan.
The Commies don’t want the best, brightest patriotic troops in the US military.

The army had this same program when I went to basic in 1975. The taught trainees how to read and write before going to basic training. It was called STC (Special Training Company)

I don’t have a program giving second third chances. However, what should happen is, upon failing, you are sent home for at least two months with guidelines that you have to meet on your own time.
Not everybody develops at the same rate.

LOL. Correct. And extra dodge ball for the slackers and the misfits. Dodge ball teaches pain and humiliation, two vital skills for success in a meritocracy such as ours.

We had one of McNamara's “idiots” in our BCT platoon in ‘69. There's no way in hell that he should have been in the Armed Forces. And the drill sgts rode him in exactly the same way Private Pyle was ridden by GySgt Hartman. He somehow hung in there until the day before graduation when he went AWOL. I hope when they found him he was given an honorable discharge.

I recommend only democrat voters join the army so they can die in warfare.

Guys like this will work out fine in the infantry as cannon fodder.

Failed standardized test (I’m assuming ASVAB or whatever current version is) 10 times?
Makes me wonder where the Army puts the very lowest intellect soldiers, where they can do the least possible harm to themselves and others?
