    Keep in mind this report is coming from Condoleeza and an ex Newscorp executive. Judging from people I know who've joined the military, there's absolutely no way that 50% of 19-25 year olds are too fat or dumb to join, and I'm pretty sure the figure for actual criminal history is under 25%. If you have a little extra chunk they just make you run it off, you gotta be FAT for the recruiter to send you away. I have a feeling this is a propaganda piece to make people feel like they're "special" when they join the military, instead of on their last resort.

    Yeah, my buddy dropped out of community college 2 years ago because he just skipped test days and he works for his dad's landscaping business... he decided to join the Air Force so he trained for 3 months and lost like 30 pounds so he could pass the tests they require. At least he knows he is doing it to take the easy way out. He'll get some serious cash from it, a lot better than he was getting mowing lawns, and then when he is done, he'll probably be able to get a good job as a cop or something.
