Who can't throw a grenade a safe distance?

The Army says that starting next summer it will remove the requirement because it takes too much time to teach enlistees to throw grenades at an adequate distance.

It has been over 50 years since I did it, but I never saw a Marine who could not throw a grenade a safe distance.  It makes you wonder what else recruits can't do.  Can they run the obstacle course?
