US military

The US military has tested IQ for about a century.

There can be no discussion if there is an IQ difference between US Blacks and Whites. The results are clear, the sample size huge, in the Millions.

Of course, PC and the MSM lying press deny and hide such undeniable facts.

What is left is to discuss the validity, culture neutrality of IQ tests, and how much of IQ is heritable, genetic. Template:R that all these issues have been solved, counter to PC.

Average IQ of enlisted men

What you definitely won’t see elsewhere is an explanation of the most likely reason for this racial imbalance: IQ. To be allowed to enlist, you have to score 92 or higher on the military’s IQ test, the Armed Forces Qualification Test (the same one used throughout The Bell Curve.) Since 1992, only 1% of new military enlistees have had IQs below the 30th percentile nationally.
This requirement disqualifies about half of all Hispanics and over 60% of all blacks from joining up, versus less than a quarter of all whites.

People such as Harvard Professor Robert D. “Bowling Alone” Putnam like to talk about how the rest of society can attain the friendly racial relations found in the U.S. military:

“I think we can do a lot to push change along more rapidly. The US military is one example. There was a lot of racial tension around the time of the Vietnam war. Now, polls show that US military personnel have many more friendships across ethnic lines than civilians. And that was deliberate. If officers were told they wouldn’t make colonel if they were seen to discriminate, they changed.”

Okay, but even if we followed Dr. Putnam’s implicit advice and imposed martial law on America, we still wouldn’t be able to follow what is the secret to the military’s success: artificially eliminate the majority of the racial IQ gap by using an IQ-based admissions test.

It’s crucial to remember that, until very recently due to Iraq, three out of ten American youths, and a higher proportion of minority youths, were ineligible for service in the military due to low IQs. This means that the benefits of military acculturation are unavailable to those who presumably need them the most. Last year I proposed an alternativeto military service for kids who think they could benefit from military discipline but aren’t smart enough to pass the AFQT.

The Ed Dwight Story: John F. Kennedy's Crusade to Find and Promote a "Negro Astronaut"...

Had John F. Kennedy not been assassinated, one of the first men to walk on the moon might have been a negro astronaut deliberately picked by his administration to be part of the astronaut training programing because he was a black man.
