"Why are so many young Americans too stupid to be soldiers." Because mean spirited republicans won't give the schools enough money.

It isn't the schools- although they are bad. It isn't the teachers unions- although they are bad. It isn't the teachers- although many are lousy (So many good people have left the teaching profession). It isn't the curriculum although it's bad. We know what the problem is. But even here on FR we cannot say it.

America the stupid.
Here’s a perfect example from today’s local rag. A school is attempting to implement a challenging, higher learning program, yet the dolts want to trash it and keep everybody stupid.
Those with potential are brought down to the lowest common denominator.
Global Studies program causes stir
http://news.cincinnati.com/article/20110108/NEWS0102/101090302/1196/NEWS/Global-Studies-program-causes-stir
FOREST PARK - Winton Woods School District is creating an international studies “school with in a school” at its high school next fall, but it’s not without controversy.
The Academy of Global Studies, approved by the school board last week, will create a more rigorous and internationally flavored path toward high school graduation, as well as automatic acceptance to the University of Cincinnati.
Some opponents of the program sent anonymous e-mails to the media just before the meeting.
A parents group, the Warrior Academic Advisory Council, has publicly objected to parts of the program, including concerns that it may divert funding and resources from efforts to improve academics throughout the district, not just for a few students at the high school.

"The main reason for this is that.." Could it be that as a species intelligence in humans is far from universal? Not everyone is equal, nor will their children be.

Why are so many young Americans too stupid to be soldiers Because the military doesnt like to take people below the 30th percentile on its entrance exam. Experience has taught them that things go better with people above this cut-off.
We have an outstanding military. I dont have a problem with letting them choose their entrance standards.

This really isn't all that new. Back in the 90s, when we got the SINCGARS radio, with its frequency-hopping technology, I went to a day's training on the set, then went back to my unit to train my soldiers how to operate it. They couldn't understand it. The radio was literally smarter than they were. For my remaining four years in service, I encountered only one company that was able to have all its tanks freq hopping in synch. Same went for GPS when it first came out, the second-generation MILES gear, etc.

Because on the ASVAB, the questions are about English, Math and the Sciences. You won’t find any questions on homosexual heroes, how to put on a condom, famous minorities, evil Christians, etc.

I thought that if you don't make an effort in school to be smart, you get sent to the military.
