Apple has dumped a WikiLeaks app from the App Store. Caving to the government? Or was it just a crap program?
Secretary Gates has released a statement on the new START Treaty.
The President has signed the DADT repeal. Now here comes the "woe is America" rhetoric.
Are the Brits training Bangladeshi "death squads"?
France has warned their nationals to leave the Ivory Coast as the incumbent not-gonna-quit president threatens to starve out the UN peacekeepers.
So the AP is all up in arms about a high percentage of recruits "failing" the military "entrance" exam. OK look, first of all the ASVAB is not an "entrance" exam. It's not designed to tell you whether or not you should be in the military. It's designed to tell you what specialties you'd be good at in the Army. Now, it's possible you could come back with a result that says you're qualified to be a doorstop, or a target goalie, or a the stick pusher on freefall wingsuit testing without a chute or something else undesirable. But it's not a "test" to see if you can join the military. It's there to tell you what job you might be good at.
