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 This insane obsession with math is so ill conceived. Numeracy is often enough.

@NicelyManifest @Strandjunker What an odd takeaway.

A basic understanding of math and geometry are required to even execute military tactics properly.

@jesse @Strandjunker I stand corrected.

Can you elaborate?

@NicelyManifest @jesse @Strandjunker

Something as simple as "safely get your platoon to this location by a certain time" requires doing math to get it right.

@eestileib @jesse @Strandjunker Hardly math. More geography and logistics. And the platoon members not party to that decision ... much military behaviour is following orders.
