    2014, a US general was quoted saying “the quality of people willing to serve has been declining rapidly,” with 71 percent of current 17-24-year-olds ineligible due to obesity, criminal records, mental health or drug issues. Meanwhile, a recent survey highlighted that while 70 percent of senior citizens could pass a US citizenship test, less than 20 percent of those under 45 could, Adams writes.

      if this is actually representative of reality it's actually a bit insane. i did a practice test and got a score of 85% and i'm not american, don't plan on becoming american nor have ever studied american history in detail.
      it also makes it a bit funnier how rabid the patriotic hogs are while they probably couldn't pass their own country's citizenship test.

        Well yeah once you accurately understand this country, the historical governing forces comprised solely of capital since day 1, and its sordid history; the only rational response is to want to burn it all down. Of course our most fanatical patriots wouldn't know shit about their own country. The conditions are mutually exclusive. Even the winners, the capitalists, have 'wealth psychologists' and sycophants to whisper the self hate and loathing away.
