This is the logical result of the older recruiting age standards, waived entry weight limits, lowered entry intelligence requirements, increased physical waivers, loosened criminal disqualifiers, etc.

We have fewer well-qualified soldiers and more fodder/sheeple, who need the coddling to keep from disturbing them to the point where they need their meds/mommies again.

Look for higher body counts and increased stupidity from soldiers, especially in the combat zones.

Old, stupid, fat, broke down, criminal junior enlisted troops who can't handle stress (like being verbally chastised) against the enemy. Just what we need during a counter-insurgency campaign....

At least it should help drive the remaining squared away soldiers out of conventional units and into SF.
