Marines recruiting surges while other services struggle

My IQ is 210. I am the third smartest person to ever exist. How do I monetize this?

If you need to ask your IQ ain't 210, dumbass!

This is a myth:

Bump.

Minimum enlistment standards since World War II have generally been higher than the 10th percentile, and closer to what they are today for the different services: the 16th percentile on the Armed Services Vocational Aptitude Battery (Army about IQ 85), 21st percentile (Marine Corps and Air Force, IQ 88) and 27th percentile (Navy, IQ 91). It should be noted that these are the enlistment standards for high school graduates. Nongraduates must score between the 27th to the 65th percentiles on the AFQT, depending on the service in question.

A more recent posting at Reference.com states: There is no minimum IQ score to join the U.S. Army, but applicants have to score at least 31 on the Armed Forces Qualification Test.

The official US Marine Corps site at ssmc.net states: Applicants must qualify for enlistment on the Armed Services Vocational Aptitude Battery (ASVAB) test. However, no minimum score on this test battery is indicated in that criterion.

I wouldn’t fight for the US. You have to be young and dumb to volunteer your life for this Country.

Trial balloons being floated about bringing back the draft:

. As the prospect of globally destabilizing war returns to the fore, is the all-volunteer force still up to the task of defending U.S. national security?

People who feel like they have no other options.

Could you imagine a draft of today's youth for the military? A bunch of pansy liberals who are soft and have zero discipline with a loud mouth saying they have rights. No way could they be molded into an effective fighting force. In there first engagement fighting hardened enemies they will be running talking about how they were wronged.

Let the Rainbow Army proceed.

Col. Macgregor insinuates that the only reason the Marines are meeting their recruiting goal is that wetbacks are naturally amphibious. @ 20 minutes 30 seconds.
