An "expert" was on CNBC last week talking about this......
he explained the problem had to do with the government recruitment process
which results in all "round stones" instead of a well-rounded mix of
"square" and round stones.
Bottomline: If you are "different" and have a less-than-perfect history, you
will not get recruited. That's how the WTC got bombed.....the stones were
all the same....thinking alike.
