One of th comments:
If the writer knew anything about the Army, about the Special Forces, and the language school (presumably the Defense Language Institute), he would have realized that this guy is at least pretty smart. If he attended the Defense Language Institute to learn Pashto, Arabic, or Farsi, that means that Jason Everman is blisteringly intelligent. You don't GET to attend DLI, much less survive the instruction, if you aren't scary smart.
Still, it's an interesting article about a very interesting guy.

Someone isn't so bright to say that. Sure, you gotta have some iq, but motivation and self-awareness goes much further than simple iq at dli. Gotta understand how to study, cuz class surely doesn't allow you to learn a language.
