Disastrous use by a heartless Pentagon of retarded men in combat

Robert McNamara, a Harvard graduate who had run the Ford Motor Company, was one the liberal, brilliant, but tech-obsessed “whiz kids” that loved everything new and modern, and botched up both America and the searing Vietnam War in the 1960s.

Below is a presentation and reading by Hamilton Gregory, author of “McNamara’s Folly: The Use of Low-IQ Troops in the Vietnam War.”

Because so many college students were avoiding military service during the Vietnam War, Defense Secretary Robert McNamara lowered mental standards to induct 354,000 low-IQ men.

Their death toll in combat was appalling. According to author Gregory, the US Army and Marines still to this day sometimes use retarded men in combat — and with disastrous results for themselves and their buddies. They are confused by stress and cannot think quickly, making them disastrous on the front lines, often panicking and shooting their fellow wariors.
