'Project 100,000' One of the cruellest most controversial experiments of the Vietnam War in the 1960s..
Physical strength, intelligence, and courage might be some of the values generally demanded in the ideal soldier, but in times of war, a desperate country may find that relaxing these conditions is necessary in order to swell its ranks with more troops. Put simply, the day dreamers who normally sat at the back of the class now became viable options for military service, to be followed by a few years of brutal combat operations overseas. The Authorities would find it more convenient looking the other way when someone failed an English paper if they can now be shipped off to fight on the front line of Vietnam.
