Not only do we want the best, brightest and most qualified, but the military needs those who really want to serve and defend the US. I wouldn’t want a moron watching my back in a crisis.

Why do you say we should have never been in Vietnam? Should we leave the S. Koreans to the same fate we left the Vietnamese? The Taiwanese? The Iraqis?
