Appalling at Best

Here is the results of those people who volunteer for the armed services between the ages of 17 and 24. 75% are ineligible to take the test to see if they can join the military. They are ineligible because the were not high school graduates, have a criminal record or physically unfit. One third of these are obese(25%).

Of the 25% who are eligible to take the test, one fourth of them cannot pass the test. And they are all high school graduates! These numbers do not paint a pretty picture.

More astonishing is that those who fail blame the schools for not making them learn! Clearly they were never exposed to the saying I grew up hearing all the time: You can lead a horse to water, but you can't make him drink. How in the world do you MAKE somebody learn?

I claim shananigans!
