[color="Red"]Apparently not enough smart people are signing up for military service. What is ZOG to do?
Do you have a lobotomy? No problem, Uncle Samuel will take morons now-a-days. Hey, I guess mental defectives will fit into a body bag as well as normal I.Q.ed recruits! If we read a little further down it also says that the military will take junkies and boozers and people with “moral” problems.
Just more evidence that the ZOG empire is crumbling.

Lower standards help Army recruit more
By LOLITA C. BALDOR, Associated Press Writer 1 hour, 1 minute ago
WASHINGTON - The U.S. Army recruited more than 2,600 soldiers under new lower aptitude standards this year, helping the service beat its goal of 80,000 recruits in the throes of an unpopular war and mounting casualties.
The recruiting mark comes a year after the Army missed its recruitment target by the widest margin since 1979, which had triggered a boost in the number of recruiters, increased bonuses, and changes in standards.
The Army recruited 80,635 soldiers, roughly 7,000 more than last year. Of those, about 70,000 were first-time recruits who had never served before.
According to statistics obtained by The Associated Press, 3.8 percent of the first-time recruits scored below certain aptitude levels. In previous years, the Army had allowed only 2 percent of its recruits to have low aptitude scores. That limit was increased last year to 4 percent, the maximum allowed by the Defense Department.
The Army said all the recruits with low scores had received high school diplomas. In a written statement, the Army said good test scores do not necessarily equate to quality soldiers. Test-taking ability, the Army said, does not measure loyalty, duty, honor, integrity or courage.
Daniel Goure, vice president of the Lexington Institute, a private research group, said there is a "fine balance between the need for a certain number of recruits and the standards you set."
"Tests don't tell you the answer to the most critical question for the Army, how will you do in combat?" Goure said. But, he added, accepting too many recruits with low test scores could increase training costs and leave technical jobs unfilled.
"The absolute key for the Army is a high-school diploma," Goure said.
About 17 percent of the first-time recruits, or about 13,600, were accepted under waivers for various medical, moral or criminal problems, including misdemeanor arrests or drunk driving. That is a slight increase from last year, the Army said.
Of those accepted under waivers, more than half were for "moral" reasons, mostly misdemeanor arrests. Thirty-eight percent were for medical reasons and 7 percent were drug and alcohol problems, including those who may have failed a drug test or acknowledged they had used drugs.
The Army said the waiver process recognizes that people can overcome past mistakes and become law abiding citizens.
Army Brig. Gen. Anthony A. Cucolo said that adding more recruiters enabled the Army to identify more recruits. "We got the right people in the field in the right places in the right numbers," said Cucolo, the chief spokesman for the Army.
About two-thirds of the recruits qualified for a bonus — an average of $11,000 each. Some in highly valued specialties, such as special operations forces, can get up to $40,000 in extra cash.
The Army National Guard and the Army Reserve both fell slightly short of their recruiting goals. The Reserves recruited 25,378 of the targeted 25,500; and the Guard recruited 69,042 of the targeted 70,000.

The ink of the learned is as precious as the blood of the martyr. For one drop of ink may make millions think.
I know the Canadian military is a lot more selective, but I guess the US has bigger plans and will take anybody who's willing.

Very few are willing to be cannon fodder for a cause the does not benefit the United States. Today's army will be mostly non-whites unable to stick to any military code, and will go raping and pillaging in the middle east. This will multiply the jihadists, and the cycle will continue.

This is spot on!
The jew is buying cheap soldiers and they will get cheap results. Just like with the mexican labor force that they're currently building. Typical jew mentality, and bound to fail.

There are HUGE incentives in Canadian military too,....if you are a doctore or some other professional. As for just a run of the mill smuck, the pay is decent, but then again I think the "danger" pay is included

First, after the murder of the 15 year old boy in England by muslim scum, I could care less about the middle east. I say just draft every black and mexican between the ages of 13 and 55, give them a canteen, a $300 rifle, 10 clips of ammo, and a plastic helmet and march them towards Iranian gun emplacements. If there are any left, send them to Israel. We also have millions of homos, man-hating lesbians, and liberal pussies who can also be used.

Yes , dozens of military studies can confirm it . Since WWI , the army has studied the consequences of low intelligence soldiers . The results , much higher in all categories , crime , AWOL , injuries , rape , murder , failure to follow orders , lower morale etc . The reason the Army and other branches don"t recruit the dumbies ..... it costs too much .

One problem that arise from this is the extremely high number of white females in the US military that are raped by niggers and other non-whites. The media ignores this of course.

Of course ! Just as they ignored the gangs in the military . The gangs in the Navy that would pimp girls , shipboard . If the girls wouldn't cooperate , shark food , lost at sea . The Navy was barely able to keep that one quiet .
The number of problems caused by low IQ recruits is legion .

The more muds in the US army, the better. This will make our (your) future job easier.
With two US bases in the making in my country, I'd prefer the US soldiers be niggers and mestizos. If you know what I mean.
All your base are belong to us!

Yes, and how much easier for ZOG to turn an Army such as this against its own citizens.

ZOG'S Army is not only getting dumber, it's getting "nicer".
Drill Sergeants Quieter; Boot Campers Happier
WASHINGTON -- Hollywood may have to tone down its portrayal of the military's screaming, in-your-face boot camp drill sergeant.
Survey: Muzzle Drill Sergeants?
In today's Army, shouting is out and a calmer approach to molding young minds is in, says the head of Pentagon personnel.
The Army says it has reduced by nearly 7 percent the number of recruits who wash out in the first six to 12 months of military life.
"Part of it is changing the nature of how it treats people in basic training," David S. Chu, undersecretary for personnel and readiness, said Tuesday.
That means "less shouting at everyone, in essence, which some of you may remember from an earlier generation as being the modus operandi," he said.
The changes started about a year ago, as defense officials looked for ways to make drillmasters more effective, said Lt. Col. Mike Jones, head of Army National Guard recruiting.
He said the old way was to "talk loud, talk often, get their attention" - shock treatment to teach discipline and mold the newly recruited civilian into a soldier.
But trainers found today's generation responded better to instructors who took "a more counseling" type role, Jones said, using strong tactics when needed but keeping them the exception instead of the rule.
The approach has had two positive results, he said: It has lowered attrition among those who go through training each year and has eased one of the greatest fears of recruits - their fear over whether they can make it through basic training.
Other changes aimed at improving graduation rates include such things as letting recruits with injuries or minor medical problems remain in the service, heal, and then go back to training. Before, an injury would have meant discharge, training officials said.
Numbers differ from service to service and depend on what the recruit is being trained for. Those training to be Navy SEALS or other special forces may wash out at the rate of 70 percent. Those training to be truck drivers may have an 80 percent graduation rate.
But Chu said that across all services, generally, some two-thirds of recruits finish their enlistment period - typically three or four years.
Of the third who don't make it, half bomb out in the first six to 12 months, Chu said, adding that the attrition rate is better than most private sector firms.
Keeping a balance in the number flushed out of the service is important. Too many dropouts and you lose people you really want to keep. Too few dropouts, and you are keeping people you should have let go, Chu said.
Both the military and police academies are moving away from harder-edged approaches to training, he said.
"However much it may be satisfying from the shouter's perspective, it really isn't the best way to shape young people for the future," Chu said.
He made the comments as he announced that all active duty services had met their recruiting goals for the budget year ended Sept. 30. The Marine Corps Reserve met its goal and the Air Force Reserve exceeded its goal, but they were exceptions among guard and reserve forces, some of which have seen "heavy use" due to the wars in Iraq and Afghanistan, Chu said.
You'll have to read between the lines here. My guess is that the "in-your-face" treatment was leading to assaults on Drill Instructors and/or dangerously mutinous situations. You also have those who are signing up purely for the benefits, and you certainly do not want to lose them because of some "rough treatment" from the D.I.'s. Such is the desperation and intolerable condition of our Armed Forces.
P.S.- A year ago I read in the Army Times about a Nigger Army Captain who was arrested for armed robbery after a high speed chase. A fucking OFFICER!!!!

The above jew article about a "nice" basic training, is misleading (nothing unusual there). Really, the only place they are doing this are places like Fort Leonard Wood in Missouri which is where women and those who have pussified MOS's attend. I assure you airborne infantry, cav scouts, etc. are not getting this treatment.

Uh, before a soldier becomes airborne infantry or a cav scout, he has to attend "Boot Camp", no??
If this kind of "gentler training" was happening only at Ft. Leonard Wood, then they would have announced it as a pilot program. The jist of the article seems to suggest this is happening everywhere.
From the article:

Is that clear enough for you?
P.S.- What article in the mainstream media isn't a "Jew article"????

The feeling among military experts is that IQ is mattering more today then in the past. As the modern battlefield gets more high tech. One expert I read mentioned in Vietnam new recruits took a year of training. But because of more complexity the same recruit today takes two years of training before he is battlefield ready.
Once on freerepublic on a thread about low recruitment, I argued that the military should increase pay for the grunts until it can be choosy. And it is morally responsible to reward the brave men who fight for your nation. The response I got was angry retaliations against increasing pay for these 'low class' men. I was expecting a positive response on a 'patriotic' website to that idea.
