Fred Kaplan provides an excellent analysis of the situation with the military recruiting more from the left-hand side of the bell curve.
Previously, he reported on the reduction in formal qualifications required.
Don't expect the liberals to point this out, though, in response to pro-war bloggers who want to celebrate the seeming success in recruiting.
You see, the Armed Forces Qualifying Test (AFQT) is really an IQ test, as Matt Yglesias points out (I can't link, I'll explain in the next post), and Kevin Drum points out, the elephant in the room is race, which is the main reason why IQ is so taboo to begin with.
Thanx and a tip o' the hat to Steve Sailer.
That is all.
