HUMAN first, then a proud IRANIAN

This blog represents the way I see some of the most significant events impacting the world and its citizens. This blog also represents how I react to the events as a member of humanity with a voice, a determined voice that insists to be heard. The voice of an Iranian who loves his country but his priority is humanity; humanity without border. I will say what I want to say, when I want to say it, and how I want to say it, but I will never lie. I will also listen; I promise.

No wonder....!

Did you know: Half of all recruits to Army read at level of 11-year-olds and that is in Britain where the average level of education is higher than in the US.
Also"....fifth of recruits have the literacy and numeracy levels of seven-year-olds."

"It (the study - Faramin) reveals that four per cent of new recruits possessed a basic skill level equivalent to a five-year-old; 20 per cent equivalent to a seven-year-old; 50 per cent equivalent to an 11-year-old and 26 per cent had literacy levels equivalent to GCSE grades D to G in English and mathematics."

Imagine when they try to use "smart" weapons systems.
