The Pentagon says only 23% of Gen Z is fit to serve. The rest are either obese, failing math, or already have a rap sheet.

Turns out if you gut schools and subsidize corn syrup long enough, you accidentally pacifist-proof the entire country.

Tactical genius.

@Strandjunker there’s also the part where getting digital medical records meant that lots of preexisting conditions that recruits could lie about then suddenly develop after training were getting caught up in filters.

Thanks Obama, I guess?

Digitization of medical records was something he pushed for. Tons of mine are now missing because since I wasn’t “currently a patient” when they switched companies, mine disappeared because the office didn’t want to pay to bring them over.

@pomegranate_stew @Strandjunker I’m just amused that instead of reconsidering that maybe ADHD shouldn’t necessarily be screened out, we instead are upping enlistment age.

I’m actually ok with this. Not because it should happen, because it shouldn’t, but it’s one of two reasons my youngest wouldn’t be considered. 🙂
