I even want the entry standards higher. For frick's sake we're talking about the Untied State military

It's not important. What's important is where you score at the end of training. If one recruit scores double what another recruit scores on day one but they both score the same at the end, why is it important? The purpose of the entry test is just to make sure you don't drop dead during training. The Marines have determined that those numbers are sufficient. Raising it would be arbitrary and another pointless road block for recruiters.
