McNamara to expand intake of unfit men into military
Defense Secretary Robert McNamara announced a major policy shift to admit hundreds of thousands of men previously disqualified for service. He cited poverty and poor education as contributing factors and said 40,000 will be accepted over 10 months with 100,000 annually thereafter, funded within existing programs. The move widens the manpower pool as military ranks grow.
