No Pass No Play, Military Marksmanship Failures

Charlie Waits criticizes the "No Pass No Play" rule in Texas by comparing it to failed marksmanship programs in the U.S. Army during the Korean War era. He explains that unrealistic goals led to widespread cheating among soldiers and commanders, ultimately compromising combat effectiveness. He argues that similar bureaucratic pressures in the Texas education system have "screwed up" public schooling by focusing on arbitrary test scores.

The use of UN resolutions to justify military action is criticized as hypocritical, given that many other resolutions regarding countries like Israel remain unenforced. The Korean War is cited as a trillion-dollar example of an unconstitutional, undeclared war that failed to achieve a definitive conclusion. The current administration's stance of enforcing UN rules while threatening unilateral action is viewed as a contradiction of international law.
