The only reason the U.S. History I/II and American Gov. CLEP passing rates for military are so low is because about halfway through the test you realize that it is in fact written by a extremely leftwing consciencious objector who instead thought it more important to focus ONLY on social issues of the period and neglected the wars, conflicts, scandals, and other topics that had a profound impact on our society. Don't get me wrong there were many great things during those time periods i.e. civil rights movement, women's suffrage, etc however they weren't the ONLY things that occurred and I can't quite figure out how burning draft cards in protest of the Vietnam War was historically significant (yes, that was a question on the test)? Does it mention how WWII brought us out of the Great Depression? FDR took us away from the gold standard to a form of monetary policy still used today? Reagonomics? The answer is, no it doesn't.
Oh yeah, Ron Paul 2012!
