(CNN) – Nearly a quarter of all students who try to join the U.S. Army can’t pass the entrance exam, a new study says.
The study, “Shut Out of the Military: Today’s High School Education Doesn’t Mean You’re Ready for Today’s Army,” puts the blame on America’s educational system.

This is a total disgrace. And the military is less choosy than private industry.

I would say it has to do with always telling the kiddies they are right, they don’t fail, and everything is peachy keen and no leaving you behind. Outcome Based Education = FAIL!
Heavens forbid we lower their self-esteem.
