McNamara to salvage rejects into military careers
Defense Secretary Robert S. McNamara announced a policy shift to admit hundreds of thousands of men who fail current mental and physical fitness standards. He said advanced training and medical care would lift them to standards, with 40,000 already disqualified then entering in 10 months, and 100,000 per year thereafter. The move, framed within poverty reduction, expands the armed forces without new funding for initial 40,000 entrants.
