The pentagon was asserting that 25% of 17-24 year olds in the US lacked a HS or equivalent degree? That sure is interesting since the Washington Post reported that we recently set a modern record for high school graduation rate in this country at 83%, and the Dept of Education has reported 69% of high school graduates attended some sort of college after graduating in 2017.
Weird. Statistics and all...
