Born in Bridgeport, Connecticut, he grew up with his parents and older brother. He worked as a paperboy and became known for his uncontrollable wit, which caused him to be kicked out of every school he attended. After high school he was a reporter for the Bridgeport Post. He unsuccessfully attended junior college and later enlisted in the Army. He soon realized it was a mistake and tried to get out.

That explains a lot. He's seems to be projecting his own education, job and military experience on every person who joins the service; which makes his patronizing remark almost laughable. He actually thinks reading twenty newspapers a day makes one smart? How does reading the same left-leaning "reporting" over and over again accomplish any sort of scholarly pursuit?

And what does it tell one when even leftist-crazed Bill Maher disagrees with such drivel?

Read that, he is a useless smart-ass who doesn't have a clue.

You mean Belzer isn't even a college graduate? How is he any different than the troops he seeks to denigrate. Forgive me (I do have a bit more education than Belzer) but anyone can read 20 newspapers a day when you have nothing more to do than spout acting lines someone else has written for you.

Yet another example of the Hollywood left pretending to have expertise that they clearly lack.

Belzer: "You think everyone over there is a college graduate? They're 19 and 20-year-old kids who couldn't get a job ..."

The word for today is "projection"
