The best warriors have no family, no tribe, no community they can call home. Warriors to be hated and abandoned by their own mothers for being the wrong gender, exiled from their communities for being part of the patriarchy which makes them vulnerable to joining gangs and militant groups. Perfect warriors for the army, to leave their birthplace behind, travel anywhere, mercylessly kill any target their masters chose, and never have any desire to return. A fire and forget army that can remain deployed indefinitely, and no one from the homeland will morn for the death of these soldiers. Although a strong father figure can counter this desire, a young male being malnourished while young, suffering from inbred heritage, and partialy retarted will negate any influence a father figure would have.
Couple this with how high both Arabs and blacks are inbred in the middle east and the american ghettos, the violence we are seeing from schenophrenic delusions and the gangs that form out of nothing are demonstrating that these ghettos and arab regions are ready to be recuited into an army, go forth, and conquer. Which would also explaign why ISIS is recruiting from these areas so easily. a warrior ready and eagar to fight, but never given any orders, seeks out anyone who will give them a purpose in life, and targets to kill and vent their anger at a life that hates them because they were born.
This took decades to construct, i don't know where to begin to unravel this problem.

No. Far from it.
50 years ago maybe, but not today. Today, they require discipline. Not just that, but they also have to read at a 9th grade level, and have very good cognitive skills.
This is reflected in asvab scores. The average infantryman has high asvab scores.
People from the ghettos do not last long when they enlist. Granted, there are two mentalities: Those that want to get out and live a better life, and those that are still "gangsta"
The "gangsta" ones do not survive past 2 years. they usually get kicked out with other than honorable discharges.
They almost always get stuck with shit support jobs, like food service specialists. They are not capable of much at all.

Good to know the military still has their shit together, at least.

For now.
There are some issues though. We are getting more and more technical, while the average public school kid is not.
We also have a cyber security shortage. It is bad to the point that they are giving O-5 to people with cyber security backgrounds from the civilian world. The problem is that those guys make far more than an O-5, and tend to be absurdly happy with their jobs.
