K, if they get good people, I'm not sure those requirements are necessary. We have friends who are doctors and they're good at taking tests. If they had to face someone with a gun, they'd likely piss themselves and either drop dead or surrender. On the other hand, men like my grandfather never finished high school but they won WWII and Korea. My grandfather became a multimillionaire through hard work. He taught himself Algebra, Geometry and Physics. One of his friends became a billionaire. This man dropped out to help support his family when he was 9 yrs old. Both men and some of their friends, and millions of other men and women throughout the US and the world were brilliant even without high school and university educations. More education does not necessarily mean more intelligence.
Your grandfather's generation dropped out to support their families.
This generation drops out because they'd rather smoke dope and play video games than learn.
Big difference.
There are motivated and unmotivated people of all generations.
What a boomer take.
Must make it true then.
Die for empire instead of saying no to war kids.
The U.S. military isn't dropping requirements so they can get good American patriots who unfortunately did not have a chance to go to school.
They're doing it so they can load up the ranks with illegals who are here to help them destroy America in exchange for the promise of free shit.
Big difference.
Not sure equating success with becoming millionaires and billionaires has the same positive ring we were taught to hear.
Yep, the new rich can become insufferable in the equating large fiat income to intellegince (deliberate misspell) and usually waste money on the biggest, best and most expensive gadget just to prove their success. Wisdom is hard won and the new rich don't have a clue.
Moreso, the banksters and government have been picking and choosing winners for a long, long, time. As origin stories of hard work and garage start-ups fall away, we learn of the relationship between success and corruption. Crime pays.
Any thinking man knows what you just said.
I understand what you are saying. Book learning is not necessary intelligence. When the recruiters were in my high school, I asked them why they required you to finish high school. The Navy recruiter especially told me that they want to know that you can tough it out for several years and not run at the first sign of trouble. That's why they want to see you finish high school first.
It makes sense.
People in our days and ages are like pansies.
