Startling statistic - 75% unfit for military

75% of America's 17-24 year olds are unfit for military service!

This startling statistic was given at yesterday's Parent University by Dr. Dennis Embry. It is based on a report by what Dennis calls a "bunch of 4-star generals".

Some {only some) of the facts in that report ~

Thirty-five (35%) percent of young Americans are ineligible for military service because medical or physical problems. ... 
Eighteen (18%) percent of young Americans are ineligible for military service because of the use and abuse of illegal drugs. ... 
Nine percent (9%) of America’s potential recruits are illegible to serve because of poor intellectual functioning. 
Six percent (6%) of the young people cannot enlist in the military, because they have too many dependents under age 18. 
Five percent (5%) of young adults in America are ineligible to be in the military because of criminal record as juveniles.
