IQ of Soldiers

Why is it that generally speaking, those that join the military have either mental problems or low IQ? Is it just an American thing? I support our troops

Because you have to have low IQ or metal problems to risk dying over some war that a jew started.

It's because they are usually economically-disadvantaged individuals. That's also why they have high homeless rates after getting out of the military. They go right back to owning jack shit.

Newsflash: poor people tend to be stupid.

>I support our troops

What a stupid thing to say. The "troops" are a lot of different individuals; not a monolith. It's propaganda to regard them as a large political group that is intractably indivisible. It makes them above blame when you do this.

Fuck off Polish fag

Actually the military chooses smarter people than you think, the marines have the stereotype of being dumb, but I think they can be more picky because they have less people.

Either way, they are better than any of the "smart" cucks who don't join and shit on them.

They need a drill instructor to kick them in their ass and straighten out their shit.

The ASVAB effectively prevents anyone more than one standard deviation below average intelligence from joining the military. The US military was the earliest institution to use IQ tests to screen applicants. The ASVAB still functions as a de facto IQ test, and it's cutoff score for admittance is what keeps everyone above below the low 30's percentile from joining.

You gotta be a dumb fuck to end up a wellfare queen with ptsd

Take the asvab and report back with your score op.

this, basically

most jobs require at least a 50, which means one in two people who have ever taken the asvab aren't smart enough to do them, combined with the stringent physical and medical requirements, very few people are actually qualified to do anything in the military besides sweep the floors
