Hmm. I can see him having been reduced through wartime activities to a 5 and 4 for STR and DEX as a temporary basis--he's on the mend right now, y'know? Be a good reason for a purple heart--but you're right--unless he now has a metal plate in his head from the same incident that reduced STR & DEX, his INT should be much higher.
Be an interesting backstory with those two characteristics--but INT, I concur, should be bumped up.
Unless he's someone's favored nephew.
It can be considered to be most inconvenient when workers allow ethics to interfere with the smooth operation of any organization.
