Personally I don't want to believe it is true. Thanks to the tip from Theodore.

"A 2016 report published in Joint Force Quarterly (National Defense University Press) titled 'Officers Are Less Intelligent' found that today’s officers are, well, less intelligent"

AND AS IS RELEVANT TO A RECENT PRIOR BLOG ENTRY, CHEATERS AT THE USMA WEST POINT..

"Joint Force Quarterly 81 (2nd Quarter, April 2016)"

"Officers Are Less Intelligent: What Does It Mean?"

"Two-thirds of the new officers commissioned in 2014 would be in the bottom one-third of the class of 1980; 41 percent of new officers in 2014 would not have qualified to be officers by the standards held at the time of World War II. Similarly, at the top of the distribution, there are fewer of the very intelligent officers who will eventually become senior leaders."

Tendency as reported seems to be across the board too. No one military service is immune it seems.

American educational system as acknowledged by authority and experts in a slow and steady decline for many decades now. Graduates of primary and secondary education not mastering basic material as they need to. That is what this is all about?
