It is a balance. In the other extreme you can't just have gifted people manning your army, or you will have lack of manpower. Not all roles require average or above-average intellect anyway. Of course, we are discussing defensively, where one weighs the danger posed to, and contributed by, a low-IQ individual against the counterfactual of civilian liberties lost owing to the failure of the military from a lack of manpower.

And you cannot sustain it by having those gifted people leading poor IQ people - they need to be people able to follow commands while also being able to take initiative at the lack of command. For that, you need folks with an average level of intelligence.
