“The majority of potential Army reservists are either hooked on prescription drugs, have too many tattoos, are overweight or have mental conditions that prohibit them from joining the military.” This is not my opinion. This is what recruiters say. I say that this is a good thing. The fewer Americans who are qualified to join the military the better.
