Well, I don't know if that qualifies as borderline ret*d, but the number is correct per the US Army testing and was too low for him to be trusted with a gun.

There is speculation that he tanked the test to try to get out of being in the Army....

See what I mean about IQ tests. They don't mean a damn. He was certainly smarter that that, just listen to him rave on about his prowess as a boxer, not now of course, but back when he was fighting. People with that low of an IQ just don't come across like he did. If it was true I would say it was more a political thing that he didn't get to use a gun. It makes me so mad when I hear about things like this. People being sent to war is bad enough but not even being allowed to fire a gun, what crap.
