If you were in charge of assignment of human resources for national defense, would you utilize personnel which score in the top 10% of the IQ distribution range for cleaning up oil in bilges and checking gages every hour for eight hours?

The US military either complely debunks the value of IQ, or is one of the most inneficient systems devised for resource allocation.
