QUALIFICATION OF AMERICAN YOUTHS FOR MILITARY SERVICE

Abstract

The study deals with both disqualified and qualified youths. With respect to disqualified youths, it presents not only an evaluation of their disqualification rates in terms of their broad causes of disqualification (medical, mental, and moral), but it provides a detailed diagnostic breakdown of the medical disqualifications so that a proper prognosis can be made with respect to their rehabilitation potentials. With respect to qualified youth, it presents certain of their characteristics, pertinent to their appraisal as a military force. The qualification of youths for military service depends on: (a) the statutory provisions, which establish both their liability and the broader standards of acceptability for such service, and (b) the specific medical, mental, and moral standards, as promulgated in special regulations of the Armed Forces.
