i even think giving them that IQ is generous.
anyway, with some one like bush leading the country.....
YAY

BUSH.. ha ha ha what a moron. ... to be honest you could have a monkey with its head up his @SS and still do a better job.

also another thing.
Most of you americans are fine , (well the few i know from here and with buisness and personal) but of the 90% of american people i met when i lived back in the US, seemed to be put on a leash and lead by their 'president' to do the most stupid things.

as i said there are some really nice yanks but the other 95% of them are a bunch or w@nkers.

ohhh and onother thing about bush....

ppl from texas.. they grow them big and dumb
in every single statment he makes, he contradicts himself one way or another.



and just out of wonder.... why did you guys vote for him again ????
dont worry about it. its not your country.

I think you're a moron for judging people without knowing a SINGLE THING about them.

i have a high IQ so im not silly enough to be shot at, let alone be anywhere near that kind of place
I'm trying not to comment on most of the things being written in this thread, but I'd like to take the time out to respond to those who think that those in the military are "stupid" or of low IQ. That is simply untrue, false, and ridiculous. Anyone else claiming to have an allegeldly "high IQ" should understand that fact. Most of the men I know in the armed forces are pretty smart guys. They attended one of the top U.S. universities and were ROTC cadets (we were in undergrad together). One guy, after spending a year in Iraq, is now at graduate school at Harvard. Low IQ? Stupid? I think not. So please, before you spew your ignorance, take the time to think through your statements.

ok all is fair, not all american soldiers are not intelligent, however maybe it is us british that have the messed up system. in this country, you will not get in to the forces if you are too intelligent, in fact a friend of mine had that exact problem, his army application was rejected once they found out how clever he was with an IQ of 108.
they rejected him because if an order was given he might think twice about it. e.g. he might not shoot someone if he did not feel it was the right thing to do.


***EDIT***

if these guys in the US forces are so 'bright', then why do they choose fighting and risking their lives when they could benefit america in another / more helpful way.

Look you yanks! you suck war is not glamorous it is evil. violence does not solve anything and if history has taught us one thing it should be that. don't get me wrong, i have respect for those who go to war and those who have died in vain for their countries but i believe that the leaders should know better. look at saddam hussein, all you fat heads think HE sucked but just take a hard look at yourselves and what you are doing as it is not any better.

Yeah, I'm not really sure how to respond to that last post by our friend in the UK. I'm not very well versed in the British armed forces, but I was under the impression that the RAF, and British Special Forces were some of the best trained soldiers in the world?

As far as the intelligence argument goes, historically speaking, military leaders have been some of the most important and well-educated strategic thinkers the world has ever known. I doubt they were "stupid" or at the very least, dumber than 90% of this forum.
