IQ Matters: Low-IQ Troops in the Vietnam War Paperback (2015)

/6 Comments/in /by
In 1966, President Lyndon Johnson and Defense Secretary Robert McNamara were desperate to find additional troops for the Vietnam War, but they feared that they would alienate middle-class voters if they drafted college boys or sent Reservists and National Guardsmen to Vietnam. So, on October 1, 1966, McNamara lowered mental standards and inducted thousands of low-IQ men. Altogether, 354,000 of these men were taken into the Armed Forces and a large number of them were sent into combat. Many military men, including William Westmoreland, the commanding general in Vietnam, viewed McNamara’s program as a disaster. Because many of the substandard men were incompetent in combat, they endangered not only themselves but their comrades as well. Their death toll was appallingly high. In addition to low-IQ men, tens of thousands of other substandard troops were inducted, including criminals, misfits, and men with disabilities. This book tells the story of the men caught up in McNamara’s folly.

    A “no-win war”, the futile sacrifice of American and other lives. Not the first and not the last.

      I think the draft was to study and control young men. Circumcise any that got through and introduce drugs and pornography. Viola! 5 years after discharge they were all divorced! Oy Vey!

    The video does not cite any references, but assuming that the statements are true, then this was a eugenic effect.

    Next point – did these supposed low IQ (and perhaps sociopathic) soldiers believe that this war was about something Altruistic, or did they just think that they were going to be given money/resources in exchange for killing innocent people?

    Third point – whose interests was this war serving? As I understand it, the Ashkenazim had no interest in this war, so who in the West were benefiting from it? Which Gentile elites were advancing their economic interests by promoting this war?

    Forth point – why did the drafted soldiers of all IQ levels go along with this war? Since they were already going to possibly die and suffer, why didn’t they instead point their weapons at Congress and the White House, or at their own heads? This reminds of Ukraine – Ashkenazi Zelensky has been drafting hundreds of thousands of ethnic Europeans to be liquidated by Russian weapons, so why don’t the drafted soldiers point their weapons at Zelensky instead, or at their own heads? I would never allow myself to be drafted to die for Ashkenazi ethnic interests. If I was drafted, I would take my military issued side-arm and point it at my head.

    I can personally attest to the veracity of the late Hamilton Gregory’s commentary, research, documentation and conclusions. His work was of great value in my own quest for V.A. disability service-connection. I had been drafted to serve in the no-win war in Vietnam. I was able to choose the Navy. I had been the victim of an unprovoked assault by Blacks while off duty, but yet on base. I was unconscious for possibly two hours or so. I was in the base hospital for six days due to my head and related injuries (for what they might call post-traumatic amnesia today). Even then I saw one standard of justice for Whites and another for “minorities”. There were many personnel of all backgrounds who had been told by judges to “enlist” or “do the time”. However, the most violent were the Blacks. Today’s military is in even worse shape than it was fifty years ago when I served.

    “…So, on October 1, 1966, McNamara lowered mental standards and inducted thousands of low-IQ men. Altogether, 354,000 of these men were taken into the Armed Forces…” These particular troops were referred derisively to as “McNamara’s Morons”.

    I would urge readers to purchase a copy of Gregory’s book. Indeed, it is one that Trump himself should read and direct his military leaders to also embrace.

    Thank you.

    Modern war is largely dysgenic long-term.
    Disease used to be eugenic long-term.
    It all depends on who survives to reproduce.
    One thing is certain: high IQ healthy white people need to create more babies asap.
