Lowering Army Standards Debated by U S Officials
Secretary Anna Rosenberg testified before the House Armed Services Committee that the Defense Department plans to lower physical and mental requirements for military service as far as security allows. She said about 799,100 previously rejected draftees could be re-evaluated and that lowered standards might admit roughly 150,000 limited service personnel, with pension considerations to be weighed by Congress. Minutes also discussed raising the draft age and extending service, and possible all-drafting of available manpower until the pool is exhausted.
