(7,259 posts)29. Recently read 54% of the us public reads at, or below a 5th grade level. That's part of the problem.
And as much as I honor and support out military personnel, it is sadly true that a lot of the rank and file are not the brightest people. Leadership? Seems the good ol boy system is still a problem. Look at how difficult it is for the females who decide to charge sexual attackers.
