Kyle Rittenhouse Did So Poorly on USMC Entrance Exam That He’s ‘PERMANENTLY’ Banned From Applying Again

I did a created about Kyle and his "issues" recently

He's a worthless little shit

I've never once heard of anybody being "banned" for any reason from repeating the ASVAB. This has the smell of a political issue aimed at a single individual the current administration would dislike, not a recruiting policy issue.

The rules are clear:

You can take the ASVAB test multiple times, but there are rules regarding how frequently. After your first attempt, you must wait one calendar month to retake the test. Your third attempt can be administered no earlier than six calendar months after your second test.

His only redeeming feature is he somewhat resembles Gail Russell.

Yes, with the big weepy eyes

[quote]So Why Was Rittenhouse Disqualified? [quote]Snopes is currently looking into this, and will update the story with more information as we learn it.

[quote]Until then, we can say with relative confidence that Rittenhouse's test scores were low, but they were not the reason he was permanently disqualified from enlisting in the Marines.

R2, this is not a political hit job. Kyle murdered two people and seriously wounded another. His behavior was pathological, to seek out this violent conflict in a neighboring state with an illegal weapon and shoot people down in the street.

The USMC is not an organization that can be described as "woke" despite Kyle's delusions. He's not being targeted for political reasons. I'd say it's much more likely that he washed out and was banned because he's an insane, homicidal, idiot and white supremacist. The USMC doesn't want that trash in the Marines, not EVER. Kyle permanently disqualified himself on account of being a batshit crazy racist. Not a good look for the USMC.

He shouldn't have been allowed to take the exam at all. He's a murderer. Why is that not a disqualifier?

Jesus, this country is fucked up.

R2 = Karen

[QUOTE] This has the smell of a political issue aimed at a single individual

This has the smell of a criminal issue aimed at a single murderer

Fixed it for you, cunt R2

He has a very slappable face -- just like George Santos.

He probably locked himself inside a bathroom stall at the testing center, then lewdly propositioned that statue of John Glenn, then shat on the proctor's desk before handing in the ASVAB paperwork.

Poo Shoes is the deranged Trumper faghag that keeps desperately trying to befriend the gays. Only reason she keeps coming back. She's in love with us. Sadly the feeling is not mutual.

[quote] Kyle murdered two people

Who needs honest information when you can lie against a thought criminal

What R6 said.

[quote]After all, as an immature 17-year-old, he took a gun looking for trouble, [bold]the same gun that the military meticulously and harshly trains its troops on their use before such a gun is handed out.[/bold]

I stopped reading this very sensationalized article right about here. This is completely incorrect. The USMC trains recruits on the M16A4 rifle, not an AR15. The AR15 is specifically a civilian issue semi-automatic (only) rifle. The M16A4 is both semi and fully automatic and is not available for civilian purchase or use.

Also, the ASVAB is a standardized test that isn't much different from the ACT or the SAT. Its purpose is to determine not just a new recruits entry into the armed forces, but what job they will have once enlisted. I took it in 2005 and the list of jobs I was given were mostly intelligence related and one for mechanic or telecom. This is probably because I'm a female, though and couldn't see combat. The males all qualified for infantry as well as any other jobs.

The test is easy to the point that even people with a slight mental handicap can pass and be allowed in and assigned a job. The fact that 8th grade dropout Kyle Rittenhouse failed completely is simply incredible. The current state of MAGA. Truly an Idiocracy.

[quote]then shat on the proctor's desk before handing in [bold]the ASVAB paperwork.[/bold]

The test is taken on a computer, hon.

R17 Computers are woke though!

All the above on the supposition Op's story was honest reporting, not just some political hit piece pulled out of thin air.

I am supremely unbothered by the prospect of Kyle Rittenhouse being inconvenienced and discriminated against for political reasons, woke or otherwise, every day for the rest of his sad, worthless little life.

He acted in self-defense. The only thing I think was stupid was for him to walk around in a tense environment with an AR strapped to his back. People who have nefarious intentions don't see that as a deterrent but usually see that as an opportunity to start shit. Never let them know what you have. Street rule #1. He was dumb and made himself a target. The individual he shot first absolutely had it coming, and the entire reason Kyle even turned around while being chased was because some other guy fired his gun into the air. He was also charged for that. The guy who got shot in the arm and survived even had a gun (illegally) and it was drawn when Kyle shot him.

Multiple people were in the wrong that night, but for some strange reason people only like to focus on Kyle Rittenhouse. It absolutely screams political agenda if you can't acknowledge that multiple people, including Kyle, made horrible decisions that night that resulted in those deaths. The only reason most of you don't like him is because your political leaders and MSNBC told you not to and he was embraced by the right.

R21, the first thing Kyle did when he was acquitted was run to Donald Trump to have his photo taken with him. What does that tell you about this guy?

Won’t somebody PLEASE think of the fat little fascists with assault rifles?

The bottom line is that the USMC do not want Rittenhouse. For reasons which are blatantly obvious to anyone who isn't lying and pretending.

End of story.

r22 He ran to the people who supported and embraced him. If the left didn't want that to happened, maybe...hear me out...they shouldn't have shit on him (and continue to) from day one. The first narrative that came out was that a 17 year old White supremacist shot and killed 3 black people in Kenosha which was obviously false. Why on Earth would he go to anyone from the left when they (i.e. you) all made up their minds about him and hated him? That makes zero sense. You all practically served that boy up on a platter to MAGA and the alt-right. Congratulations.

The college-thang's not working out. Who's paying for his upkeep?:

"October 2021, Rittenhouse started taking online classes at Arizona State University as a non-degree seeking student, and wanted to transition to in-person classes. Non-degree seeking students at ASU go through a "modified admissions process" instead of the full admissions process for degree-seeking students... By the next month, he had withdrawn. ASU has stated that even if Rittenhouse had been found guilty, that would not have affected his enrollment since it is not ASU's policy to consider criminal records of applicants or students, and he could have continued even if in prison.

In a June 2022 appearance on The Charlie Kirk Show, Rittenhouse said he would be attending Texas A&M University in College Station, Texas; a spokesperson from the university denied he had been accepted. After that announcement, Rittenhouse posted on Twitter he would be attending Blinn College, a junior college and what he referred to as a "feeder school" for Texas A&M. A Blinn College spokesperson confirmed Rittenhouse had applied, but had "not enrolled for a current or upcoming term".

r25 you have a strange memory and interpretation of facts that are not in question. Kyle Rittenhouse, who lived 25 miles from Kenosha in ANOTHER state, stored a semi-automatic weapon in Wisconsin for what? To shoot pigeons? According to his own testimony, he was on the side of the police (blue lives matter) during the riots, which, it apparently needs to be stated, were occurring because a policeman had shot a black man IN THE BACK multiple times and the policeman's justifications for that were not really borne out by the videos and testimony of bystanders. (I'm not pretending that Jacob Blake was some sort of model citizen, merely that 4 shots to the back out of 7 total fired by the policeman were overkill - pun intended). Rittenhouse drove to Kenosha and was roaming the streets with armed men looking for protesters. Moreover, the first two of the three men he killed that night were unarmed, unless you consider a plastic bag full of clothes a deadly weapon. You seem to be claiming above that he was somehow politically neutral in all of his actions that night, until left wing media started hurling accusations about him . That's ridiculous. Moreover, what kind of 17 year old boy in his right mind drives to a riot scene in another town that he doesn't live in, armed to the teeth?

R27 don't waste you're time. R25 is a lost cause like most MAGAts.

(But you're points are well made.)

I'm a loser, baby...

[quote] He ran to the people who supported and embraced him

Yes. He ran to the racists, and the neo-Nazis, and the homophobes because he was already one of them.

"Rittenhouse attempted to join the Marine Corps in January, but was disqualified from serving after discussing his options with recruiters, said service spokeswoman Yvonne Carlock. She declined to specify why he was disqualified, citing the service’s privacy guidelines.

Much else is still unknown about Rittenhouse. He was charged Thursday with six counts — including two homicide charges — in a criminal complaint that accused him of killing two people and injuring a third during the Kenosha unrest on Tuesday night. But brief accounts from neighbors and local institutions paint the picture of a high school dropout who viewed law enforcement officers as his personal heroes.

So much so that, when massive protests, looting and fires broke out in Kenosha following the police shooting of Jacob Blake on Sunday, he crossed state lines to offer his support to local policemen – at times, speaking as if their duties were his, too.

“People are getting injured, and our job is to protect this business,” he told the Daily Caller on Tuesday night, hours before he would allegedly start shooting.

Before the deadly shooting, Rittenhouse lived with his mother, Wendy Rittenhouse, a single mom and nurse’s assistant, in a quiet apartment complex beside a park in Antioch, a bedroom community that sits just south of the Wisconsin border.

According to court records reviewed by the Chicago Tribune, Wendy Rittenhouse sought an order of protection from police in January 2017, claiming that a classmate of her son’s had been threatening him and calling him “dumb” and “stupid.” The Washington Post was unable to immediately reach her for comment.

According to court records, Rittenhouse had received a pair of traffic tickets in Kenosha County earlier this month. The court filings show that on Aug. 4, he received a citation for driving 24 mph over the speed limit on a freeway and another for operating without a valid license.The records give the same Antioch, Ill., address included on the police complaint filed there in connection with the deadly shooting this week. That police complaint labels him a fugitive, saying Rittenhouse was charged with homicide in Wisconsin and fled to avoid prosecution.

Jim McKay, the superintendent for the school district that includes Antioch, said in a statement to The Post that Rittenhouse attended Lakes Community High School for a semester in the 2017-18 school year and did not re-enroll in either local high school afterward. Two unnamed neighbors told the Chicago Sun-Times that he had dropped out of Lakes.

Outside school, Rittenhouse participated in cadet programs with both the Antioch Fire Department and the Grayslake Police Department, according to department newsletters. The police initiative offers participants from ages 14 to 21 “the opportunity to explore a career in law enforcement” through ride-alongs with officers on patrol and firearms training, according to since-deleted pages on its website.

A few weeks earlier, he attended a Trump rally in Des Moines, sitting in the front row and posting a TikTok video from the Jan. 30 event, BuzzFeed News reported. The video, which has since been deleted, appeared to match C-SPAN footage of Rittenhouse standing just to the left of the lectern, according to the news site.

Besides the Trump rally, the public posts on Rittenhouse’s Facebook are almost entirely dedicated to honoring police, with Blue Lives Matter graphics, photos of officers killed in the line of duty, and the “thin blue line” flag associated with support for law enforcement.

In December 2018, he started a Facebook fundraiser for Humanizing the Badge, a nonprofit that Rittenhouse said looks to “forge stronger relationships between law enforcement officers and the communities they serve.”

His TikTok account, meanwhile, showed him in recent weeks assembling or firing two different types of guns, BuzzFeed News reported: an AR-15-style rifle as well as a firearm he identified as a 12-gauge shotgun."

The most generous assessment of Rittenhouse is that he's a police brutality apologist and someone who hates disorder more than injustice. He saw people protesting police brutality while damaging property and it pissed him the hell off.

[quote][R25] you have a strange memory and interpretation of facts that are not in question. Kyle Rittenhouse, who lived 25 miles from Kenosha in ANOTHER state, stored a semi-automatic weapon in Wisconsin for what?

r27 You already lost the argument when you show your (misinformed) bias in the first sentence. His father lived in Kenosha and he worked in Kenosha. The fact that he lived in another state is a red herring considering the distance is similar to Detroiters who have family and work in Windsor, Ontario, Canada. ANOTHER COUNTRY! Gasp. The rifle was in Wisconsin because he legally couldn't have it in IL until he was 18. I seem to recall the false narrative that he brought the gun across state lines.

Believe it or not, not everyone who supports the police is on the right politically. Funny how you ignore the type of person Joseph Rosenbaum was. You just didn't like him because he was protecting a business from rioters, is White, and had a firearm. There is nothing worse than a White guy with a gun. They're all racist MAGATs. Obviously.

That said, here's a Black guy with a bunch of guns explaining the situation more clearly.

^ Oh and let's not forget that Gage and the dude who fired the gunshot that made Kyle turn around in the first place when Rosenbaum was chasing him also brought guns to what was supposed to be a peaceful protest. Why was no one asking them why they brought guns?

Man who fired shot into the air as Kyle was being chased by Rosenbaum.

The military being too "woke" is a big right wing political talking point, so as someone else noted, this is just another chapter in his new role as right wing stunt monkey. Given his poor grades & general stupidity, he probably couldn't come close to qualifying for any other service, so he targeted the USMC with lower standards. At this point, I'm not sure what is true because he is stupid & likely did score poorly on standardized tests, but he's also such a pussy that he wouldn't last 5 minutes in that environment. So I'm guessing if he *really* wanted to join the USMC in the first place, he could've done so, but the whole thing was just another "it's all for you, Trumpy!" stunt

This garbage pail kid hasn't even gone through puberty yet and he likes to hit girls

[quote]the whole thing was just another "it's all for you, Trumpy!" stunt

He took the ASVAB in January 2020 before the Kenosha shooting incident, r36.

It’s a bullshit story. Almost all on this forum would fail the initial USMC or military entrance exam or fail on other issues like drugs,, over weight, underweight, history of depression, , drugs taken for school, to help you learn etc etc etc.

Then once you fail you would apply for a waver and in most cases would then pass. No one is ever banned from talking the written exam because they failed before.

It sounds like the corps is refusing to allow him the waver process. The corps does not want him but this is a bs article.

He looks like he's missing several chromosomes and rode the short bus to school. No way he can read or add 2 + 2.

He's an angry gun toting piece of shit with major rage issues who was always looking for a way to get away with committing murder and got "lucky."

Just like pretty much everyone who stormed the Capitol on January 6th.

R41

First hand Insight from someone that knows Kyle and many who stormed the Capitol? Or insight from watching tv?

Bullshitters are bullshitters.

Who’s the loon defended this POS?

Let's not forget the police officer who saw Rittenhouse illuminated by his squad lights, openly carrying weapon, yet wasn't stopped, shot at by police, or, otherwise given a jay-walking ticket.

Rittenhouse has gotten more breaks already in his pitiful ignorant life; more than anybody else.

God, the loon defending the gun toting monkey is seriously deranged. "Funny how you overlook this or that" arguments are usually statements that, in turn, overlook the very things the Nutty Poster doesn't want to address. Like a court may have acquitted the monkey but, if the monkey hadn't fired his gun, the bullets from said gun wouldn't have killed two people.

He's a murderer.

[quote]He's a murderer.

r45 Legally, he's a killer. Yes, there is a difference. It was clearly and legally self-defense. Colion Noir at r33 gave the most logical breakdown of this situation when it first happened. And Gaige Grosskreutz admitted on the stand at r34 that Kyle didn't shoot him until after he raised his pistol and aimed it at him.

Kyle only fired at the people actively attacking him and showed, frankly, very good trigger discipline for everyone who didn't attack him or stopped their pursuit of him and put their hands up when he aimed the rifle at them as a warning. You hate this because he's been a darling of the right and leftist talking heads told you to. You have no mind of your own it seems and are incapable of viewing this situation rationally without bias.

[quote] The only thing I think was stupid was for him to walk around in a tense environment with an AR strapped to his back.

The stupid thing he did was to EVEN GO THERE IN THE FIRST FUCKING PLACE. Bottom line, two people are dead and a third wounded for life for no reason other than that Rittenhouse put himself into a situation for which he lacked the training, experience, judgment and discipline to handle. None of your bullshit babbling can change that fact.

R47 Exactly!

[quote] According to his own testimony, he was on the side of the police (blue lives matter) during the riots,

I wonder what he thinks of the cops who were attacked while defending the Capitol on J6?

And I forgot to mention I have put into motion to have Kyle beatified, the first step to sainthood.

I'm already making an altar in his honor where I will beat off to Kyle's pics on a daily basis.

Kyle will do well for himself financially - will probably run for Congress eventually and get in. Republicans seem to love low intelligence in their elected officials.

R2 is a disinformation troll. Just check its posting history. It likes to push anti- Democratic nonsense. Put it on ignore.

The guy who helped get Rittenhouse ready for trial has been exposing all of the tactics that they used to present him to the jury. First, you can be barred from re-applying if you get less than 10 on the test. But, that guy says he was rejected because of some video that he did with guns and they were like “nah.” It appears that he applied to the FBI for the Joint Terrorism Task Force, and that the email was in response to the FBI’s background check. I would link to the guy’s Twitter account, but I’m old and hopeless with tech.

That picture, OP: is Mr Rittenhouse actually trying to look like a lesbian single mom in a nineties sitcom?

Kyle and his mother both resemble Droopy.

[quote]He looks like he's missing several chromosomes...

But never a meal.

R2 actually seemed to know what he was talking about. As opposed to this nonsense hysterical article. Is that why we are to put him on ignore?

DL the leading beacon of free speech and political exchange's ? no not so much.

R52

Is there anyone else we need to put on ignore?

R46, shut the fuck up. You’re deranged.

He went there with the intent to kill. Full stop. It was a game to him.

He crossed state lines to kill. There is absolutely ZERO about this that was self-defense. Zilch, zippo.

[quote]He went there with the intent to kill. Full stop. It was a game to him.

r58 and r59 Are bots. I'm convinced. The black and white thinking is indicative of programming. So, I'll just feed your posts into ChatGPT and post the response. Argue with it. Who doesn't love a good bot fight?

------

It's important to acknowledge that opinions on the Kyle Rittenhouse case vary widely, and people have strong feelings and perspectives based on their interpretation of the events. Your perspective reflects a belief that Rittenhouse's actions were not motivated by self-defense but rather by intent to harm. This view is contrary to the defense's argument in the trial, which asserted that Rittenhouse acted in self-defense.

The legal system and the jury in this case considered a range of evidence and testimony before arriving at their verdict. The trial process is designed to carefully evaluate the facts and apply the law to determine guilt or innocence.

It's important to recognize that different individuals may have differing interpretations of the events based on the available information and their own perspectives. Discussions around legal cases like this one often reflect broader societal debates about issues such as self-defense, gun rights, and public safety.

He will return to the U.S. and be a ward of the state soon enough.

My husband took the ASVAB and filled in smiley faces on the bubble multiple guess test sheet. The military recruiters pursued him for two years.

[QUOTE]Almost all on this forum would fail the initial USMC or military entrance exam

Absolutely not. There are sample questions on various government military websites. The only thing an elder DLer might need is a little brush up on high school algebra.

The link to the thread about his spokesman is below. He failed because he scored in the [italic]30th percentile[/italic] on the ASVAB. A poster on the linked thread said that those scoring below the 10th percentile are prevented from retaking the test. IOW, an IQ so low in the tail end of the distribution to be borderline mentally retarded. This is certainly consistent with his poor judgement and non-existent academic achievement (dropping out after one semester of high school)

I'm sorry that should read "BELOW the 30th percentile" at r65.

[quote]Excuse me??[/italic]

I’m an expert knitter, and soldiers need socks!

^^ well, my formatting “skills” might disqualify me for some positions.

R65

I should have been more clear. I was talking about the entire entrance experience not just the standard written exam. My guess is that a significant majority pass those written exams on the first try.

It’s all the other stuff that flunks people out as DQ, the adhd drugs, the childhood inhalers used for what a doctor called asthma, the pot use, the dui, the Dx of stress or depression. Being overweight. Having certain diseases or conditions, a lot of people flunk out for one or more of the above.

This is where the wavers come in. There is no waver for flunking the written exam.

r69 Correct. I was initially disqualified for being underweight by 5 lbs. They had to rush my recruit file to the office of the commandant of the Marine Corps directly to get a waiver for me to enlist when I was going through MEPS. My recruiter joked that the entirety of my time at Parris Island would be spent with a fork and knife in chow hall.

"Testing...". The Russian hackers are hoping to create a long, hot summer of racial violence to help sell Donald Trump's dystopian view of a country gone mad- which only he can fix!

Admiral Roy "Latch" "Swiftboat" Hoffmann was thrown of out of the Navy for being mentally unstable. He was also thrown out, for the same reason, at the civilian job he got.

The military, and I realize this is hard to believe, is in no big hurry to have patently crazy people running around.

Kyle Rittenhouse + grease fire

No worries, R74, nobody would include you in us.

I'm surprised he didn't shoot the USMC person who administered the test

They probably have "trick" questions in the test designed to reveal psychos. No way Kyle is smart enough to fool them.

Unless designated, it's very presumptuous to say "we" as though speaking for the collective. Though not quite as pompous as referring to yourself in the third person.

Those eyes say it all..... Honey, he's a TARD, A 'TARD.

He needs a hormone check, a testosterone deficiency…he looks feminine.

Here is a sample of the test questions.

Interesting R84 thanks. They're very easy and simple questions.

What a crock of shit writer for this original story. Since there is no prohibition on anyone taking the written test again after a massive fail.

But I loved the part about Marines being the types to not look for trouble, Marines who actually want to avoid trouble, and their only desire is to protect American citizens and freedom. What a load of shit :-)

When the US govt needs people killed they often use Marines. Marines join the corps, by and large, exactly for these adrenaline filled dangerous missions. That’s why they joined the corps and not the navy or AF.

No award more important to a Marine than the CAR. And most can’t wait to get their first confirmed. You want people who have little aversion to killing if their main reason for being is killing.

He’s a big fat po faced mamas boy. He thought he could be a hero! The magas said so! Descriminaaaaaation!!!!!

I am assuming Rittenhouse did not even have the basic qualification standards to even take the test, and perhaps got special treatment to take the entrance test. Perhaps his abysmal test results mean they won't be bothered to re-administer the test for him should he decide he wants to take it again?

Is there any kind of psychological screening? The results might have been so alarming that his file was permanently closed.

[QUOTE]Since there is no prohibition on anyone taking the written test again after a massive fail.

Why allow someone who falls below the 10th percentile to take it again? That person would almost certainly have borderline intellectual functioning. It would be an exercise in futility.

Look at him. He looks like Bob’s Big Boy. All her needs are droopy checkered bell bottom overalls.

Can you imagine dealing with someone this slow in a life or death situation?

I'm surprised they didn't use "mentally disabled" as a defense during his criminal trial.

R92 - His team would never have allowed setting that kind of a precedent for right wing white supremacist movements, even though they are littered with mental and intellectual defectives. I'm pretty sure Kyle is in complete denial about his numerous limitations and would not have agreed

Whoever bankrolled the Rittenhouse farce wants to lay down a body of legal case histories justifying such actions which would ultimately be used to defend future vigilantism perpetrated by the mouth breathers. Future Oath Keepers, Proud Boys et al. would point to these cases in defense of their lawlessness.

r89, I know the CHIP does a psychological intervew, intellectual and physical tests.

R90

You can win the discussion if you can find a govt or military recruiting link that states that someone below a certain score can’t retake the test. I looked I saw no such thing. In fact what I saw was posted earlier in this thread, time frames before you can retest.

Why do you think this is about "winning" a discussion, r95? I'm simply wondering why. The 10th percentile is really far into the low end of the distribution.

He just looks so dumb and lost, like a kindergartener whose mom forgot to pack them a lunch.

R96

So you are not arguing he could not have retaken the entrance exam based on flunking so bad the first time?

The only thing that counts are the posted rules on this not what anyone here thinks should happen.

I've seen some of the people they accepted into the military, they may be only one step (barely) above the thugs they accept into the police force and fire fighter's academy. These types aren't some major brain trust. I can totally believe that Rittenhouse is even dumber than that group.

He’s making a tidy profit by offering his image to barbecue franchises.

He has Private Pyle written all over him.

Mama Rittenhouse. I hope she was prettier when she was young. Where is the father?

He looks like a fat Janeane Garofalo

Snopes after looking into this said it’s patiently false that he was denied retaking the test because of a previously low score.

They are not so far disputing that he is barred from enlisting, that they seem to be still checking, but if he was denied the ability to enlist that had nothing to do with the scores on taking the test previously.

why the fuck are you so invested in getting this bitch into the marines, Boris? He's a stupid cunt. You're a stupid cunt. Just let it go at that.

R105

Accuracy counts asshole. Facts count. I hate cunts that make up lies found not to be true just so they can attack someone.. Have a little pride. Get the fucking facts right.

I realize that makes me sound old.

no, just kind of stupid and ridiculous r106. But good luck with your neverending campaign to GET THE FACTS OUT THERE, you silly twat.

People are vastly underestimating the selectiveness of the US military. Sure, you can be below average. But not that far below average. Around 30th percentile on the parts that are IQ-test like. There are other sections that test specific knowledge, but those are for placement, they don’t factor into the score that determines eligibility.

And while you can retake it, there’s no bullshit like super scoring sections or getting time and a half like the ACT and SAT allow. A lot of people who take it are not necessarily academically focused or coming right out of high school, so it is plausible that someone who hasn’t taken a multiple choice test or done a puzzle in two years could do very poorly on their first pass and then do better but, in general, it’s less vulnerable to test prep than the modern SAT and ACT.

So just on basic intelligence 30% get rejected. Then there are legal problems, including four traffic violations within five years. In addition to the medical issues R69 lists, there is eyesight, teeth, hearing, eczema, even ingrown toenails. There is a LOT that can disqualify you. And, yes, you can apply for a waiver but sometimes surprising things can be an issue because they can be hard to treat if someone is deployed or can get worse in very dry or jungle environments. Weird stuff like bad acne making the seal on a gas mask not tight (I just made that up, but stuff along those lines).

Kyle Rittenhouse did not have a HD diploma or GED. He’s dumb, fat, and out of shape. He probably made the recruiter’s day by being dumb enough to admit to something that is permanently disqualifying, thereby sparing the recruiter the hassle of dealing with a loser like him.

Why does he not even have a high school education?

I’d like the resident Kyle Rittenhouse troll to stop making posts about him.

I wish the Kyle Rittenhouse troll was permanently banned from DL.

Because school is stressful!

If the pillsbury doughboy were a racist fuckwad with Nazi sympathies.

Didn't you see "Misery" R115? Kathy will break both of your ankles with one sledgehammer. She'll cut a bitch too.

The relationship of Facts and datalounge

My nephew enlisted in the army around 15 years ago (he was in his early 20s at the time). He is very very bright, but has suffered from emotional/psychological problems since his mid-teens. He did very well on all the battery of tests, but he was never sent to any danger zones or even given much responsibility during his enlistment. I think the army must have also done a psychological profile and realized that he just wasn't capable of handling severe stress without cracking. .

R116 Do you know what they did to the workers at the Kimberley Diamond mines? 🔨

R118

The likelihood is that your nephew was with a unit that never deployed. Even during a significant war such as ww2 Korea VN there were people that spent years on AD and never deployed. If the army had determined he was not deployable for any medical reason inc stress and, not able to do the job his until required him to do, he would have been sent for evaluation and likely a medical discharge.

People who workin deployable units have to be able to deploy.

So doubtful your nephew was on any list

According to all of the military people I know, it is possible to be rejected permanently if your score falls below a 10. However, the rumor is that he did some kind of video after the incident and before applying to the military and it was unhinged enough that this formed the basis of his permanent ban. The POS was so delusional that he applied to work for the FBI, which, in turn, got records from the military. The only reason he was even entertained by the FBI is because the Trump people got him in.

“all the military people I know”

It should be real easy then to find even one US govt link that states this is so. Because the govt will have written rules for people and those involved in the appeals process to follow.

Advice Kyle will never take: study for and obtain an honest GED instead of cheating your way through it. But maybe even that wouldn't be enough.

He probably isn't capable of actually studying, it is beyond his focus capability and comprehension.

The boy is clearly lacking in comprehension and common sense, that much is true, yes. I don't think he's this horrible person certain groups try to make him out to be. I think he's just a very naive and poorly educated kid who learned a harsh life lesson in under 24 hours. I also think he's a follower and easily manipulated by anyone who pats him on the back.

Frankly, the biggest danger he posed to the community was going into a place of civil unrest running around (many times alone) with an AR strapped to his back and risking bad actors taking advantage of the chaos (like Joseph Rosenbaum) getting a hold of his gun and using it to harm a lot more people. There were multiple witnesses that stated Rosenbaum and Ziminski were after Kyle's gun. Ziminski already had a pistol, himself.

Someone like him who is borderline retarded has no business being in possession of an assault rifle.

Which "certain groups"?

[quote]Frankly, the biggest danger he posed to the community was going into a place of civil unrest running around (many times alone) with an AR strapped to his back...

Sounds like a pretty horrible person to me.

Get a load of Susan Collins at R126. This guy hasn’t “learned” ANYTHING except how to get attention by behaving abominably.

[quote] However, the rumor is that he did some kind of video after the incident

Well done distinguishing "the rumor" from the deep well of "facts" most posts on this thread otherwise offered.

That face. He looks like Matthew Broderick post lobotomy

[quote]Which "certain groups"?

Hard leftists and progressives.

[quote]Sounds like a pretty horrible person to me.

That's not a horrible person if they believe doing so will deter others from harming them. That's a very naive person who actually believes bad people are deterred by guns. Having a gun doesn't automatically make someone a horrible person. Unless, you believe Gaige Grosskreutz is also a horrible person instead of a very stupid one, r128.

All in all, I disagree with most leftists and on progressives with regards to most issues. This is just one of many. I think they (you?) approach these issues with emotion instead of logic and hard facts.

And just so it's clear what I mean when I speak of leftists and progressives...

Well, one thing keeping him out is that he is currently listed as a respondent in a Federal lawsuit.

You can Google [recruiting "moral character" site:defense.gov] or ["basic character standards" site:defense.gov] for some very interesting reading.

[quote]R132: Hard leftists and progressives.

I'm pretty sure you don't know any, apart from caricatures portrayed by the right.

[quote]That's not a horrible person if they believe doing so will deter others from harming them. That's a very naive person who actually believes bad people are deterred by guns.

Well, the person you're characterizing as 'naive' went to great lengths to bring the gun in order to kill people protesting the killing of a black man by police. His belief that there was something about the Kenosha unrest which required his armed presence is clearly horrible. He had no business being there.

[quote]Unless, you believe Gaige Grosskreutz is also a horrible person instead of a very stupid one,

It's possible to believe both. But I also think it highly probable that if things had gone differently, and Grosskreutz had shot Rittenhouse dead in the street, you would not be currently massaging the facts on Grosskreutz's behalf, in an effort to bring tumescence the flaccid claim of justifiable homicide through self-defense.

[quote]I think they (you?) approach these issues with emotion instead of logic and hard facts.

I have a flat affect, and exhibit no emotions, especially with regard to issues like these. Accusing others of emotionally-based reasoning is simply something you tell yourself in order to justify not engaging with what the other side is saying - somewhat like your citation of a Youtube video discussing labels.

▲ in an effort to bring tumescence 𝐭𝐨 the flaccid claim

So, R132, are you only a defender of Kyle Rittenhouse, or did you stick up for Nicholas Sandmann, too?

[quote]R34: Oh and let's not forget that Gage and the dude who fired the gunshot that made Kyle turn around in the first place when Rosenbaum was chasing him also brought guns to what was supposed to be a peaceful protest. Why was no one asking them why they brought guns?

You're the surviving account of the right wing troll trio claiming to be Black (the other two redlined, of which BlackMillennial was one, ). I guess that helps contextualize that crack at R33, "That said, here's a Black guy with a bunch of guns explaining the situation more clearly."

A word to the wise: DO NOT piss off PoisonedDragon. He will cut you like a BITCH.

r138 No. He just devolves to the same old tactic of ignoredar and sock puppet accusations whenever he encounters someone with whom he disagrees. Because it's just unfathomable to him that multiple people disagree with certain viewpoints that he has. I've learned to skip over all posts from him where he's tagging multiple replies because without even reading it, I already know he's doing his tired-ass "you're a sock" dance. Am I wrong, here?

He's a repetitive bore.

[quote]I'm pretty sure you don't know any

I'm going by what they themselves claim to be and their own statements, most of whom have posted in this thread, r135.

[quote]Well, the person you're characterizing as 'naive' went to great lengths to bring the gun [bold]in order to kill people[/bold]

This is thought policing and presumptions. You are assuming this was his intent. He stated his intent was to protect a business from vandalism at the owner's request. He is also seen on video explaining that he had the gun to protect himself when going into harm's way while rendering aid to anyone who was injured. You are assuming the worst, likely due to personal bias, as opposed to taking his words at face value.

[quote]But I also think it highly probable that if things had gone differently, and Grosskreutz had shot Rittenhouse dead in the street, you would not be currently massaging the facts on Grosskreutz's behalf

It would depend on exactly how differently things had gone. If Grosskreutz's had shot Rittenhouse dead in the street while he was sitting on the ground with his gun lowered (as he originally intended per his own words), no I would not defend Grosskreutz because that would not have been an act of self-defense. Had Rittenhouse been shooting innocent people who weren't actively attacking him and trying to run away from him and Grosskreutz shot him, but people, for whatever reason, were giving him the "Rittenhouse treatment" I absolutely would defend him, because in that scenario, he would've been acting in self-defense/defense of others.

[quote]I have a flat affect, and exhibit no emotions, especially with regard to issues like these.

Since you have decided to speak on your own behalf, I will redact my previous statement about you responding with emotion and conclude that you are responding with pure bias and self-constructed facts. You prove this with your claim, based on zero evidence besides Rittenhouse being voluntarily armed in a place of civil unrest, that he intended to kill protestors. That is, again, an assumption because you have a bias that you refuse to further and more deeply examine. Perhaps, the brain power required for such a task is too much for you.

I only agree that he shouldn't have gone there and stayed home. But neither should Rosenbaum, Grosskreutz, Huber, or Ziminski. In fact, not a soul present that night should've been there because a curfew was established. Everyone was breaking it.

This came on the main page right below “I need some clever ways of calling someone a slut”. LMAO and then this poor incel….

[quote]So, [R132], are you only a defender of Kyle Rittenhouse, or did you stick up for Nicholas Sandmann, too?

What does that have to do with Rittenhouse? Are you attempting to gauge a person's political views based upon how they respond to highly publicized and controversial incidents.

Since we're being petty and going off on tangents, did you/do you still stick up for Jussie Smollett once more information was released?

What a silly question.

[quote]A deeper dive into your participation in this thread:

Oh no! You found consistency in my views on this topic. Sound the alarm!

[quote][R70] (here you seem to be answering one of your own socks)

No. R69 is different person. But it's hardly surprising that you go on these "sockpuppet accusation crusades" with no proof when you also seem to sincerely believe you know the true motives of a complete stranger, also without proof, for why he had the firearm while guarding a business during a night of civil unrest full of vandalism, violence, and arson. But go off.

R126, you're a fucking fool and either a lying sack of shit or completely deluded. Seriously, don't operate any heavy machinery.
