Military Recruiting: Fool WaPo Twice, Shame on Them

Last year, the Washington Post let itself be so badly misled by a "study" on military recruiting from a far-left think tank that WaPo ombudsman Deborah Powell felt obliged to write a lengthy column about the matter, diplomatically taking her paper to task for failing to "tell the full story."

So when the same think tank came out with another recruiting study this year, surely WaPo would take it with a large grain of salt, right? Think again.

Nor does the Post report that Army recruits are 100% high school graduates (when alternate credentials such as GEDs are considered).
C'mon, these are just facts. Does anyone think "Hatriots" like the MSM, Libs, etc., care about facts?

Fiction = willing suspension of disbelief.

WAPO wants this to be true so bad they are willing to accept fiction as fact. Unfortunately, they are also will to distribute it as fact.
