Regardless of his ASVAB score, he made the right decisions in a life-or-death situation, acted lawfully, and removed leftist maggots from the gene pool in the process. Let the commies cry about it.

There’s no such thing as a Marine Corps Entrance Exam and even if he took the ASVAB, a low score doesn’t get you banned from taking it again. My guess is some edgy 13 yo moron made it up. |

Sometimes the District will allocate all the bravo quotas to inner city or reservation recruiters, and allow none in the burbs.
