> That presents just as many problems and dangers to fellow soldiers as someone with a lower IQ. That's a big assumption, and I doubt it applies broadly: Many military jobs do not depend much on physical fitness: Drone pilot, mechanic, truck driver, radar operator. Front line service is only one small part. Also, it omits the point that less-than-physically-fit can understand the risks, made their own decisions, and also improve their fitness. Imagine drafting people with physical handicaps - that would be the equivalent of McNamara's horrible program.
