Why is that surprising? If you are dumb enough to join the military when everyone knows what our foreign policy is like, why wouldn't they be dumb enough to vote for Bush? And you better believe that our fighting force DOES have an average IQ lower than the general public.
Please provide the numbers.

I can't wait for my buddy Pat to respond to this.

Of course I can't provide the numbers. You think our military would allow such information to be public. Of course not. Stupid assumptions by me. But I can only assume since there is a god damn pentagram in our captial city's street layout. How stupid do you have to be to support that?

Although I do enjoy bashing conservatives...I would have to disagree with you very very much when you said, "And you better believe that our fighting force DOES have an average IQ lower than the general public."

I have a couple of friends over in Iraq right now and they did great in highschool. One of my friends wants a career in the military and my other friend is in the military because his father used to be in the military.

Ridinhigh asked for you to provide some facts to back up your point but you couldnt. So I would have to say you are just dead wrong...Sorry

yeah why would anybody wanna join the military at this time? i mean its obviously stupid to wanna defend your country and to wanna protect your right to bash the people who ensure you keep those rights. theres more than just one reason to join the military but aparantly you cant comprehend any of them. i can also guarantee that i and most of my fellow marines here with me have a greater IQ han you, and the general public.
there is absolutely no excuse for what I am about to do

When the city that sends you to war has a pentagram in its layout I think you are stupid for joining its military. And I question the intelligence of those who do join.

If I even believed that our government cared more about humans than dollars I would understand why people would join to suppport such a cause.

Why should I? Show me studies that show the intelligence of those in the military.

Most guys are in the military because they have to be (ie no better option in life). Troublemakers, drop outs, poor as dirt, parents who have power tripped them... usually the kind of people you DON'T want to give a gun to.

You should be the one showing studies that show the intelligence of those in the military. You brought it up and you can't even prove it!!

Nobody can prove it. But I guess Marines show their approval in regards to Bush with their life:
