seems liek today there is a heavy contingent of people who want to be heavikly armed personally to ward off an oppressive evil govt.
yet i tend to think that of that group, many are proUS military…

I think that you very accurately put it right there.
It’s within that group that you see parents encouraging their children, just out of high school, to enlist in the military.
It’s a question of culture and education. I doubt any on this board would allow their kids to enlist in the military.
Is there any data on the high schools/zip codes where enlisted military members come from?[/quote]
im pretty sure the military was lowering IQ standards when they were recruitng heavily for Iraq. now it’s probably as competitive as a good college. but on average probably a lot more lower IQ dudes are tring to take the test to get in than higher IQ. but that’s justa guess…
