{{main|Project 100,000}}
In October 1966, he launched Project 100,000, the lowering of military Armed Forces Qualification Test standards, which allowed 354,000 additional men to be recruited, despite criticism that they were not suited to working in high-stress or dangerous environments. According to Hamilton Gregory, author of the book ''McNamara's Folly: The Use of Low-IQ Troops in the Vietnam War'', inductees of the project died at three times the rate of other Americans serving in Vietnam and following their service had lower incomes and higher rates of divorce than their non-veteran counterparts.{{sfn|Gregory|2015}}{{sfn|Gregory|2016}}<ref name="RAND">{{cite web |title=Project 100,000; New Standards Program |url=http://www.rand.org/pubs/monographs/MG265/images/webG1318.pdf |url-status=dead |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20191215165451/https://www.rand.org/content/dam/rand/pubs/monographs/MG265/images/webG1318.pdf |archive-date=Dec 15, 2019 |accessdate=December 16, 2022 |website=[[RAND]]}}</ref>
